Do you carry a knife?

[jeff5]

The answer to Master Alland's question is yes, I always carry a blade.

I feel both safe and confident. I have good reflexes and quick attacks/counter attacks if needed.
But a weapon?? No way! Only cowards needs a weapon in a fight. Though, best is to not fight at all.

This is extermely naive. Its not about needing one to fight, its about being prepared for any scenario. The bad guys don't care about what's cowardly or what's not.

The thing is about carrying a blade is that you HAVE to understand when to use it. Or at least think about it. Is your attacker armed? Are there more than one? Is he/they intent on seriously harming you? Are you bigger or smaller than him? Etc. All of these and more come into play and there are extreme legal implications if you draw a blade on someone. Just keep all that in mind.

I never said that, and I am not trying to either. But I think that if a person is not man enough to fight without weapons, he shouldn't fight at all. Though, best IS actually not to fight.

hmmm...

But please, tell me... WHY is a weapon necessary?

Are you from somewhere in northern Europe? Because I'm sensing that rational-pacifist kind of thinking local to that area...

I mean... if I have a Katana and I get into a fight... would it be ok if i used that Katana against the opponent?

It depends.

If your Katana is hidden and you are in a situation where your life is in certain danger, say a small gang or an armed individual is trying to end your life, you might want to harden your spirit and be prepaired to use it...

Let's see....I'm guessing this kid is about 13 or so based on the comments he's made so far.

Only a moron would make a statement like this. Trying to justify years and years of "empty hand" art are you?

So a 60 year old woman who is 110 pounds stabs or shoots a guy who invades her home, and she's a pussy? Grow up.

I said "jk" beneath that post in white font.

[Tom Yum]

heck, i thought it was a dildo. !

It could make an improvised weapon, especially some of those larger, unhuman-like models...

oh sillyness. hey if you get cut with a knife and live you will have a sweet story to tell and probably get laid. bring on the knife fights!

Not a good reason to get cut.

[DickHardman]

i carry spyderco knives. i always have one on me. they make them so sharp in the factory that i am confident it will be able to go through multiple layers of clothing easily.

Looks like the guy in the pic is holding a baguette, in which case my defense would simply be to eat it.

The guy in the pic is the Great Danny Inosanto. ( Guru Dan)
