- This is a video podcast of "Gouged Eyes and Chawed Ears: The Rough and Tumble World of Breckinridge Elkins," a presentation given by Jeffrey Shanks athe the 2011 PCA/ACA national conference. The paper examines the use of violence as comedy in pulp writer Robert E. Howard's humorous westerns.
Another great documentary on the characters and stories of Robert E. Howard. Thanks for creating these. I found them via the Age Undreamed Of blog, but sadly, it seems you don't update it anymore. Still great to see these videos.
I don't know or care much for 'rough-and-tumble' fighting, but the Breckenridge Elkins stories are still a lot of fun!
I love this.

Raul Roel I am also looking for the martial art
There were never any formal schools, or codification, or formal techniques of Rough and Tumble. The punches were natural haymakers, the grappling was "wrasslin", the kicks and stomps were natural... all picked up from boyhood wrestling and brawls. Boyhood brawls... carried out for years until you become proficient at hurting others... then add in a grown man's strength, and "anything goes" rules... short of outright murder... and make the opponent cry "Uncle". Think of dirty WWE wrestling... but playing for keeps. Flying dropkicks and all. Very primal.
Rough and Tumble evolved in very different circumstances than Jujitsu, which was deliberately designed and codified specifically for a smaller, weaker man to defeat a larger stronger man who was trying to murder him.
If you want to train Rough and Tumble in relative safety, just wrestle and body punch your friends... until somebody says "uncle". You will get good at fighting naturally. Skip the gouging and biting, and head punching/kicking(boxers dementia) for real fights.

@@gatocles99 this is a good summary of rough and tumble, it was for poor early americans in the wild west. anything goes violence.
Latter stage,1970’s Jeet Kune Do is a combination of early western boxing/ pugilism, western fencing footwork, but with emphasis on eye and groin kicks, and the no rules of R&T.
A sort of scientific approach to R&T
