So The History Channel has a new show called Human Weapon, as some of you may know. it's two guys who go around the world learning various martial arts for a week or so and then fighting a master of that martial art in a live fight.
So far there have been two episodes. One was on Escrima, and the other on Muy Tai.
Also, we can make this a thread about fighting in general.
I my self, have never been in a fight but I want to fight one of my friends just to see what I am really made of.

is that a form of martial arts?
People kick the shit out of me and I announce myself the moral victor.

I hope those guys have some skill to begin with. Sounds like fun program to watch though.
I would probably ignore everything I learned use the ever effective "Monkey Grabs the Peaches" style.
Zero knows what I'm talkin about.
I have ended a few though. Usually after they question whether a cripple can back up what he says.
This is why I avoid college bars. Matt Frat has a real problem not acting like a tool.
So much for my belief in education.
There are dozens of different kinds of Eskrima. Unfortunately, the schools for them are pretty few and far between outside of the Philippines, so it may be tough to find one. But yeah, as far as weapon based martial arts go, it's one of my favorites, as it isn't utterly dependent on having a weapon, and being a small guy like myself actually works to one's advantage.
We never talked again
The other night I laid some guy out because he decided to punch me in the face, which wasn't the greatest.
Kickboxing + TKD. Both pretty worthless against anybody but completely untrained fighters.
I await "zomg moshing are dumb" posts.
he probably has a bachelors of dumbology in moshing
on official letters he signs off as "oogmar, BDm"
It's not exactly an intellectual pursuit. But then, neither is sex. Both feel pretty good for different reasons.
Anyway.
I grew up in a TKD family, so I'm pretty fair in a sparring match against other people of the same sport, but anybody else could kick the shit out of me in two seconds flat. Which is why I carry a knife, simply because of the part of town I work in at the hours I work.
Also because being able to cut stuff without having to go and find scissors is pretty nifty.
People who carry knives in any shape or form always seem to creep me out.
Like if I ask for a pair of scissors and someone gets out a knife. I talking Crocodile Dundee size knife here.
You never know when there might be something that needs tasting
probably becuase they associate it with people who wish they were in the SEALs
Yeah, I guess.
"So, why is your knife black?"
"Sometimes I need to kill someone in the dark."
For me, it's more like this:
"So, why is your knife black?"
"Cold Steel didn't make them in anodized blue."
moshing is fun as hell
all getting drunk and running around the circle pit at punk shows
getting 17 year olds thrown into your face at GWAR concerts
what with my car occasionally getting filled with random crap his words went something like
'here take this apple see if you can find something to cut it with if theres like a knife or anything sharp in the glovebox or centre conso- hey theres a butter knife right here what the hell'
not even my knife i dunno who put it there
I took one semester of Tai Chi at my university (short form, Yang style, by the way). My teacher was also doing long form at one of our local parks, and I'd planned to start going to it this fall, but he died over the holidays.
Right now, I'm just doing kickboxing and self defense. Though I will be starting Karate, again at my university, this fall. I've always wanted to learn Jujitsu, but there aren't any competent instructors in Waco, Texas- at least, none that are actively teaching.
And since Shorty brought up knives... rockin longswords, yo.
I may not be able to beat people up, but I sure know how to not beat them up.
The first I was at a highschool dance with a bunch of friends and a dude who went to my school and was like 3 years older than me and a rugby player pushed one of my female friends and was making fun of her and shit so I called him a fucking jackass and he took a clumsy swing at me, which I sidestepped and pushed him, ever so gently in the back while he passed me and he lost his balance, crashed face first onto the floor and knocked two teeth out.
The second I was sucker punched in the side of the face by a dude at a beach trying to steal my friends wallet. one minute I was looking at the ocean, the next I was on the ground, my mouth filled with blood and sand. The punch opened up a four inch gash on the inside of my mouth which got infected and I've still got a weird scar.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Never thought any of that would come in handy.
Then came the day some random dude started some shit when I was walking home from highschool and I blocked a punch, got under his guard, and punched him three times in rapid succession in the underarm and once in the kidney. Never saw that dude walking home again.
Thems fightin' words.
Drive bye argument.
Cripples can't fight back.
