Ninjutsu for Self Defense

[jubaji]

This is my opinion, though I'm sure he could.

Is it your opinion, or are you sure? Which one?

[jubaji]

Any person who spends 30 years in one type of martial art is bound to have a superior advantage over any other person.

Really?!

[Ninpo Ikan]

Really..........

[jubaji]

And yes, a flathead screwdriver puncturing your flesh hurts well enough.

That wasn't my question. Does it hurt more than a Philip's head screwdriver? Have you been 'punctured' by both?

[Ninpo Ikan]

Have someone stab you with both and see for yourself. Once was more than enough for me.

[jubaji]

Really..........

So a fella with 30 years experience in tkd would never get his ass kicked by someone with 10 experience in muay thai, or wrestling, or boxing, etc?

So what is the answer to my question? Have you been stabbed with both?

[jubaji]

The man was a Toughman competitor .

I thought you said he was a nhb competitor?

[Ninpo Ikan]

Just the flathead.

[Ninpo Ikan]

No, I said he could take down the average NHB fighter. You're not reading what I write at all, you're just trying your best to see if you can make me lose my cool, but I don't get annoyed with kids out of school for the summer. From where I'm from, Toughmans throw on 2oz gloves and wrestle and box each other until the other taps out, a la Fight Club style. No fancy submission holds, no guard, just spit and blood flying, teeth loosening, and faces getting banged off of floors.

[jubaji]

Just the flathead.

So you don't know that it hurts more than the Philips head.

[Ninpo Ikan]

Never claimed to know, I just said it hurts well enough.

Toughman contests are typically just amatuer boxing matches between local mugs who generally can't box for shit.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of some other kind of competition?

[jubaji]

Never claimed to know, I just said it hurts well enough.

I see. Then why did you specify a flathead screwdriver? You might have simply said 'screwdriver' and left it at that.

[Ninpo Ikan]

It depends on where you're at and whether they're sanctioned or not. Ours were called Amateur Toughman: No Rules.
