Last night in Kenpo class we took out the rubber knives and I got to "attack" all the students, and some attacked me on occassion, but I usually played the attacker role. We were learning knife disarms, and after some slow speed practice runs I was instructed to start attacking everybody at full speed, then their object was either to disarm me or at the very least maintain control of the hand with the knife in it.
What a blast a couple of the guys really fought back hard and we were rolling and grappling for the knife trying to "kill" each other before we were "killed". It was a pretty realistic street simulation.
This morning my shoulders, hips and wrists are really sore, but man, that was a LOT of fun!

Nov 12, 2005 01:27 pm Knife fighting is sweet. Not that I do it on a regular basis or anything. Quite a rush isn't it?
I used to take some backyard Kung Fu lessons, and the instructor would bring over knives he cut out of plexiglass (not sharp though). I miss those lessons. :(
Nov 12, 2005 01:32 pm These are pretty soft rubber, they bend easily, it felt really weird tho cuz the instructor when demonstrating on me was really stuffing it in my stomach...even though it was rubber it felt really strange to have it being pushed into me. He was doing that because so many people were being light with it and he said, unless it's razor sharp, you are gonna have to push...so he was demonstrating technique.
In the future we start chalking them up, then disarming, then looking to see where the chalk is to see where we "get cut".
The more I get into this Kenpo stuff, it gets to be more and more fun. It's fun anyway, this is just more fun :-) Simulated violence, gotta luv it.

Nov 12, 2005 01:42 pm Intense ! I just watched that scene in Saving Private Ryan with the knife-fight... I'd really like to know what that Nazi was saying to him as he sinks that blade into his heart... such a personal way to kill someone .
There's a song in there somewhere .
Nov 12, 2005 01:45 pm That part in that movie pissed me off so bad. I was furious...lol. I wanted to jump in there and beat the hell out of the guy that was just sitting there being a pansy.

Nov 12, 2005 01:50 pm "Opum ?" lol
Yeah, that pissed me off too . I imagine it was a reality that because of the draft there were alot of people in that war that shouldn't have been there .
Man that would suck having dB run screaming at you with a knife... even a fake one !
Nightmares ! lol
Nov 12, 2005 01:58 pm But you'd think that he might get "snapped" back to reality (eminem just popped into my head..lol) when he sees his friend fighting for his life... but no...
When I finally get out of school, I'm taking Kung Fu again, as well as concealed weapon training... somebody comes running at me with a knife, you unload your tactical HK into them, then beat whatever's left to a pulp..lol.
(I'm a redneck from Montana) =)
Nov 12, 2005 02:02 pm Well, according to many CIA and FBI training studies, in order to effectively and accurately pull your gun (from being in a concealed location) aim and fire the attacker, if less than 30 feet away, will generally be able to take you down with a simple "bum-rush" before you get the gun ready.
So, in other words, good luck with that :-)
Nov 12, 2005 02:07 pm Dangit... well then I'll go with my second option of beating them to a pulp first. Then shoot them. lol. =)

Awesome !
My tactics consist of screaming like a seven-year-old girl, and then running as fast as I can . Works like a charm, 'cause they just stop and laugh at me... the key is to not look back . lol
Just kidding... I got this friend name Walther, though I can't imagine calling him for anything .
Nov 12, 2005 02:16 pm Or I could pull a Crocodile Dundee, and get out my hunting knife I have underneath the seat of my truck...lol. "You call that a knife?" lol...

Nov 12, 2005 03:02 pm It soes sound fun pacticing it, though !
I wish I'd taken better care of myself, or gotten into this kind'a thing earlier in life, 'cause it sounds like a total-blast ! I used to race motorcross for kicks, and then the 'band thing' happend...'d . I look back and just think it was so rediculous... but fun ! Detroit can be a bit harsh, though . ; )
Keep it up Dan ! Good clean simulated-violence never hurts anyone... too badly .

Nov 13, 2005 08:57 am I remember my junior year a freind in the crypts was bragging about his knife he brought to school "yeah.. it has a nice 8" blade" and after school I took him to my car to show him mine. I called it a "pocket short sword" It's a lockblade with an 18" blade. (I used it as a machete(sp?) clearing some brush which is why it was in the car) I opened the door and really fast grabbed it and flicked it open. He screamed like a little girl and is eyes almost poped out... he then asked to borrow it for a week. So I loaned it to him...
Nov 13, 2005 01:51 pm I didn't even know the crypts existed (except in lore) until I went to Dayton, OH this last summer...lol. Montana only has crazies, rednecks, and hicks.
