How many carry weapons and know how to use them?

[jubaji]

So, what's your answer to the question in post #9? (its a simple question)

[GonzoStyles]

wow Jubaji you demanding answers to questions in posts? thats rich.

Correct. Asking questions about the personal experiences of people, not demanding that settled legal issues be rehased just because I'm personally dissatisfied with the result.

[GonzoStyles]

So what are you saying here dont use innuendo, speak openly, Are you attempting to show the irrelevance of training with weapons because in your personal experiance most self defense situations do not include being attacked by an armed assailant?

No innuendo. I'm speaking as openly as possible. I am asking about personal experiences in this area out of curiosity. Does the question threaten you in some way?

[GonzoStyles]

No I doesnt threaten me its a question, how could it possibly. But I do see your motive here so I wanted to head you off at the pass. Maybe you think that its silly for people who dont like the water to learn how to swim, after all why would they ever need to?

You only see your own paranoid delusions.

Just wondering

This post makes you seem highly ignorant about the FMAs. My Sifu has a saying; "Everything in Kali is Tasmanian" meaning everything is inter-related, a movement with the knife translates identically to a movement with the stick, which is identical to the short spear, which is identical to the empty hands, so, therefore, when you learn one movement set, you're effectively learning four or five additional forms of combat.

Your post indicates to me that you are ignorant of this and you go on to assume that anyone who practices the FMA is a common thug who A) Doesn't know when lethal force can and can't be used and B) Only knows how to fight with blades.

I have to question where were you thought you were going with that post? Seems like nowhere to me, your contribution wasn't worthwhile at all, more like a pathetic attempt to troll up some trouble where it's clearly not needed and/or bring attention to yourself. Perhaps you'd best explain exactly what you were trying to convey, because at this point, you're only digging a hole for yourself with your 'witty' comments and avoidance of questions directed at you.

That's great. Makes sense in a way (in a way). You want to answer the question now or what?

What question? The question where you demonstrate your ignorance of the FMA in assuming that everyone who practices said art uses knives and only knives and will deal with any situation that arises with knife usage?

If thats the question, it doesn't have an answer. It is an irrelevant question because anyone who does practice the FMAs has a number of skill sets aside from the use of knives and will know when and were to use a particular style of fighting. You're a clown, and that's as far as it goes.

What question?

The question in post #9. Don't be scared, it's just a question.

Never once personally. Since I know you're a wrestler there's something I'd like to know too; have you ever dealt with an angry girlfriend or spouse by throwing her to the ground?

No, I have not.

No, I have not.

It's amazing how easy it is to answer a simple question
