So you are an experienced quick draw expert?Are you that slow with a gun?
Clockwork, as I postedbefore, I know my comfort zone and abilities, and will gladly pit my knife against your holstered gun inside a 6 foot distance any day.
So you are an experienced quick draw expert?
I wouldn't need it. I practice wing chun, combat hapkido, American street karate, and koryo gumdo for a reason and I think other people should as well. Unarmed combat is, in my opinion, a lot more useful way to spend time training than specifically training with just knives. Just as deadly if you know what you're doing and a lot less messy. Cuz really, who wants to clean that **** up?
I don't need to be. I can draw a weapon after someone is on the ground with a broken wrist and dislocated shoulder.
Look, guys. I am NOT a big guy. I'm 5'8". Theres a reason I practice martial arts. Cuz there will always be someone bigger than I am and stronger than I am who has a chip on their shoulder and wants to beef. All I'm suggesting in this topic is that you explore various forms of unarmed combat rather than specialize in knife fighting as cool as it sounds in theory. You will always have your arms, your legs, your knees, your elbows, and your head regardless of whether you're carrying a weapon or not. MAKE THEM your weapons.
Ask Shirfu John Painter to show you his scars from edged weapons. My father was a hand to hand combat trainer. The first thing i ever learned was the advantage of having something in your hand.
It's certainly an advantage but never a necessity in my mind. I've trained with various weapons enough to know that a lot of objects can substitute for another in the form of a weapon. *shrugs* But like someone mentioned about the tier thing, I think the foundation should be unarmed combat.
he taught people to kill with a pencil, magazine, rock, etc.
