Knife Arts

[Bob Hubbard]

Very simply, how to use a knife with martial principals. From Balisong to Marine Corp.

Sorry. An attempt at lightening the mood. My apologies all around. And as the Renegade will tell you I don't apologize a lot so i mean it.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

No prob.

I understand the intention, and apreciate it.

Just erring on the side of caution for now.

I'm one of those kinda guys where too much time on my hands gets me into trouble...which is why i started martial arts in the first place!

Is this about the post that was wiped? I didn't get to read it.

As for you, Mr. Ronin...next time you have too much time on your hands, I want you to do all your sets and forms...50 times each!

You must have been talking to my instructor...

 

[Cthulhu]

Ah, your instructor is a fellow sadist?

In the corps you are taught to use the bayonet as a slash, thrust, vertical. horizontal and downward motion dynamic etc,. Personally i prefer to conceal the knife when making contact. The clandestine effectiveness of the concealed blade has a very good psycological effect on the attacker in the streets! The element of surprise is applied in reverse, when the attacker realizes he/she has been peeled and traumatised by an invisible weapon. The attacker's initial shock, combined with severe pain is more than enough to end his/her violent confrontation. I've had to use a blade or sharp object more than once in aggressive violent interaction; for this was the only communication, i sadly say that the attacker/s understood!
