clearly a martial art mind is not logic, you do not see literally the messages handed down by master by sage by shogun by what ever. you may be tired of hearing about oh bruce lee did this! bruce lee did that!. when none of this or that really matters. what does, is to understand WHY he did these things and to understand the messages he gave along with them. not to neglect them and look at his amazing physical physique. the only reason he became who he was is because he had the mind, the wisdom to allow him not to be bounded by what everyone else here is bound by. a mold, a set way of doing this that cripples self- expression. bruce lee was a human like any other. he asked himself one day '' how do i express myself, totally and completely?'' he searched for years for this matter, and he developed his character through martial arts. simply by expressing himself. he didnt teach JKD so that his students can beat someone up, but by simply showing them an abstract reality then guiding them through building their character through it totally and completely, becoming whole, jkd became a way to look at things through the mind. there was no action being performed except the action in itself. and to step aside and see what he could get out of it was obsurd to him. his beliefs, and philosophical messages were formed directly from his self expression of his human art. his highest technique become no technicque and ultimately become one through the actions and motions of the art which he performed. thus he liberated himself of his '' self'' so then, there was nothing he was attached to anymore.

This guy was funny. What happened to him?

Cayenne pepper, or yarrow.

yeah you know what works for cuts that i got on my hands and knuckles and other places from boxing and stuff is this http://www.balancedforhealth.com/cellpretoria.htm read what they say about it. i use it all the time it works pretty damn well. if you put it in a cut its pretty much the worst sting you have ever had in your life. it actually takes the dirt in the cut and spits it out.

If you put hydrogen peroxide on it, you probably didn't need to torture yourself with the alcohol.

You have to have the keys properly secured in your hand, or it'll break your fingers. Too much hassle, really.

Stick to loads.

......I got nailed with a fistfull of keys, and they scraped me above the lip.. it was nothing ....

... Maybe if the keys are really, REALLY sharp...but, it didn't slow me down at all....

Don't forget keys...o_o

...I tend to leave them out for a reason...I got nailed with a fistfull of keys, and they scraped me above the lip...but it was nothing worse than if my kitty kat had jumped on me and cut me. (I have an itty bitty scar above my lip on the right corner.) Maybe if the keys are really, REALLY sharp...but, it didn't slow me down at all....

seriously...this happened.

..... A good fistload is something long and that fits inside your hand so that the knuckles still get that natural alligned feel to them. And the heavier a fistload is, the better...but, a better tool os something that works as a fistload, but has hooking and pokey-staby applications also, like pocket sticks, or similar objects that can be improvised.



So...good fistloads are; pens, pencils, rolls of coins, cut off metal dowles, zippos, normal lighters, match books, professionally carved fistloads (kabutons, pocket sticks, FMA pocket sticks...I forget the technical name, but they are essentially the exact same shape as a kabuton, maybe longer and pointier), paintbrushes, cell phones (maybe not flip phones...), utensils other than knives...such as spoons, forks, and the ultimate-sporks, short pointy sticks, batteries, a microphone, etc etc etc...be creative. Invention is the mother of all...I forget how the quote ends...but it be saying inventing shit is good, n'stuff.




and the top of the pops for the fistloads is a closed balisong.

Wait G man...Go back to what fits in your hand. You need a karambit. You're almost screaming for it. Oh and a knife makes a good stick too. (fistload that is) pommel, rake and lever. It's much more than poke or cut bro...But lots of folks don't go there.

Well, yes, I think a baseball would make a very effective imprvised weapon. I mean, you could throw it, use it as a load, maybe limb destruction...

What? Uh...I'm pretty sure the circular shape would probably ENSURE broken fingers if you hit somebody with a baseball in your hand. The way that your hand conforms to the shape of the baseball would cause your fingers to flay out (seperate) and basicly force your hand to stay in a position like it was open.
