This book is your guide to selecting and preparing gamefowl for high-stakes long knife competitions. It introduces the Rotation Method, a proven and flexible training approach that works well with other weapons like gaffs and short knives too. Training for the long knife is all about sharpening your bird’s natural abilities to compete in a sport that demands incredible speed, strength, gameness, and precise cutting skills. While some bloodlines naturally excel in these areas, good training can take them to the next level—improving their agility, building their strength, and fine-tuning their accuracy. The journey to excellence doesn’t stop with what we know today. There’s always room to improve and refine how we condition our birds. By staying open to new ideas and continuously striving for better methods, we can help gamefowl reach their full potential, making them not just ready to compete but prepared to perform at their absolute best.
