Hello Fellow Martial Artists,

I am the administrator of CKF Online (http://ckfonline.org), a daily ezine for Kenpo pratitioners in the Parker/Planas lineage. I would like to invite everyone to participate in Alternative Improvised Weapons Contest (http://ckfonline.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/10/0344242). Complete rules and information on the contest are in the article as well as information about the prize.

Good luck:)

Peace,
Sandor Urban

The only things I could come up with for your contest so far were not appropriate fro your contest. The first was to throw crap in their eyes -- Thrust me in that type of situation there would be plenty around. The next would be to throw Gou at them so said no edges so I figure he would be dull enough. Just kidding Gou!!

When I come up with a real response I will make a post on the CKF.

Come on what about my idea of throwing crap at them. Those peanuts they serve on the air plain can be pretty sharp. Besides you can't win Gou they would see you making your bomb. You would have better luck getting everybody to fart at once and light a match.

I hear the our war on terrorism has taken a new twist. Rumsfeld put out a call for ideas from the public today on ideas to combat terrorism. This is not the first time in history that this has happened, mind you, back in WW1 and WW2 our government did this too. One of the inventions to comeout of such a call was the invention and use of radar and sonar systems to combat the Axis forces. Another invention was a patent freely handed to the US government by an Austrian physicist (sorry can't remember her name..) who came up with a method to make torpedo's much more accurate. Just thought you'd get a kick out of the peripherals :)

Gou's idea.. hrm..

At this point there is no clear cut winner. Still the whole month of November. I have a few people who I know are trying to put together decent entries. Some are students and invariably will take their time... you know how that goes. I hear the Penn boys are working hard too. Even called and taunted me about how they think they have it in the bag...

Lets see... Gou thinks he has it... JWT, AlienFreak, Zoran and Socks have entries too.

I think its just way to early to tell.


Peace,

Sandor

Really, if you think about it weapons are all around us and could be used in many ways.

Things like your socks. If you take them off and put a pop can in one they become might nice to swing and bash someone in the melon with. Or maybe you might shake the pop can up and point the lid at your attacker and open it to blind him momentarily so you can kick his ass and take his weapon.

Big Belt buckles on the end of belts are a good swing.

Shoelaces are great to choke people like a garrote. Or you can swing the shoes like a bolo or such. They GIVE you headsets which you could use to choke out someone with the cord.

Hairspray is awesome. Hold it up and put a lighter in front of it. I'm sure any attacker won't mind the 3rd degree burns. Hell for that matter some alcohol could be used to spit at someone or hopefully like a flame thrower from your mouth.

Pencils and pens make excellent stabbing weapons to the eyes and throat etc.

Ground up or powdered soap from the bathrooms is a great blinding method to give you some method of surprise attack. Maybe long enough to get you to the cockpit to tell them to drive and drop the cabin pressure forcing most people to black out.

On my last plane ride they gave out metal knives and forks with the meal fer pete's sake.

There are a ton of weapons I'm sure people could use to kick the terrorists asses. Aside from the fact that 100 people vs 20 terrorists is still the best weapon.

getting people to think on their feet. Steph and I really want to get everyone to be aware, thinkin, and acting defensively. We figured this contest would be the best way to go. So far it has been doing a great job of that :)

Very cool imho.

The folks at my school and at Scott Johnson's are having a little rivalry thing too. I can't wait to see more as there is still the whole month of November for entries.


Peace,

As the little drunk french monkey in the movie "Dr. Doolittle" said when confronted with his alcoholism being the reason he let the tiger out of his cage...

"Oh I geeve eet up!"

And he threw his bottle to the ground...

Man, if you were to judge by the email I got yesterday in the morning you would think I was a complete pompous ass for doing this contest.

It has become blatantly apparent that some just don't have a clue (':confused:')


Peace in Pieces,

Some people are morons. You can't have any fun or even try to think beyond the scope of their boxed minds. Now I'm all interested as to what the e-mail had in it!!!

A contest like yours should be considered to be almost common sense withthe way the world is today. But as we all know common sense is not that common.

Well, actually 15... and there have been some great entries too.

Never mind a few excessive field trials ;)
