LADIES LADIES LADIES?!!!! You Kiddo's need to calm down.
this is a Kung fu forum.
I read the article,,here are my views
the greatest advantages of the edged weapon are that it is a touch weapon meaning all it must do is make sufficient contact with you an it will do damage.
well yes thats true but a gun will do such damage as well and it will be even worse and cause more damage and is quicker than a knife. no brainer right?
Unlike the specific body mechanics required to deliver an effective punch or kick, the blade can come at you at any and all angles regardless of the need for such balance or mechanics
well so can a punch and a kick but they dont do as much damage as a knife right? another no brainer? and if i remember correctly tanto juitsu has some pretty specific mechanics in it as well.
i read the rest of the article and i have to agree somewhat with Kung lek that to try and teach effective self defense against a gun with a knife is just plain ridiculous. i mean if you advocate that it is stupid to go up against a gun with a knife then why the hell show pics on how you could defend yourself? i mean anyone with a gun when they see a knife in the other guys hand is going to drop them real quick with a couple of shots. case closed. the knife may only work if the guy is reaching to draw his gun and you close the distance and get up on him,but even that is not going to prove effective,,,you will wind up stabbing like norman bates and the guy with the gun will just put the nose up to your belly and unload, yeah both people are going to get hurt but my money is on the guy with the gun,just my opinion.
kung lek mentioned a glock in his sarcastic post reply,,,,aside from the girl fights going on here between you guys i had to think for a minute about the glock and what it is capable of,,,and i also remember several years ago getting a chance to fire one off,,,,if someone has that type of gun and a the other guy has a knife or even a sword? my money is on the glock,,,,one slight touch of the trigger and the cartrige is emptied before the other guy has a chance to do anything.
the whole point of this is that i tend to agree with Kung lek that the article and pics are not very good,,in fact they are down right comical,,,,i guess my critisms are not going to be as "punk'ish" as KL's are and i can see where you guys get your panties in a bind because of it,LOL.
PEACE,,,TWS

It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.
