Twisted up

We train stick and knife somewhat. What we do is Dog-Brothers type training, which hurts.

We don't really do it a great deal. Most of what we do is empty-hand stuff. I just don't carry around a knife or stick everywhere I go. That borders on paranoia.

Another thing, it's better to train empty-hand against the blade or stick. If you're ever attacked by a pro, you're not going to have time to "get your blade out" or find an "equalizer". Hell, it's better just to run (and as Richard Pryor said, "Teach your old lady to run to!!!! lol)

It's unrealistic to think that you're going to be involved in a "knife vs. knife confrontation. Not to say it can't happen but, that's mostly movie stuff. As I said, a pro will never give you the opportunity to draw your weapon.


.....and (by the way), everything we do is "alive" (or we're wasting time)
