Do you have a weapon?

I have a lead pipe by my front door.

 

im pretty sure id just run and hide in my attic

 

puddy

 

rather a pussy than kill or be killed

 

Smart monkey...

 

why do u need a weapon? 2 fingers & 2 pounds of pressure is all it takes to collapse a windpipe, not much more to break an elbow or knee..90% of people who have knives hold them the wrong way, & a simple twist of the wrist & your own weapon is used against you..
if you came at me with a knife, that knife would be stuck betweeen your ribs, & the only fingerprints on it would be your own

acualy i would really hate to do that, thats the last thing i'd ever want to do, but a knife the way most people hold them is the easiest thing in the world to take away from them
weapons are just tools. an extention of your body, & if your not completely aware of the best way to use them in every situation, your better off just relying on your body.. your hands & feet cant be taken away from you & used against you

if your paraniod & feel like u need to sleep with protection under your pilow..make it mace or pepper spray

 

Wow, your a regular Steven Seagal... can you do gung fu?

 

no, just allittle kempo..no expert or anything but enough to get by..

 

I have a whole collection of weapons. chain whip, rope dart, kwan dao, many swords, compound bow, staff, ect. Most are for my kung fu, some are just for display

 

but i do know the statistics, of how many times people who keep weapons have them twaken away from them & used against them..

like youyr lead pipe by the door (where do u live by the way that u need that?) lead pipes are heavy & slow to swing, but chances are if a robber was at the door you wouldnt even get to the point of swinging.. but lets say you alreadu have it in hand, everytime iu answer the door, soon as you start the backswing, your tackled & thrown to the floor..& your nice little pipe is useless & just tying up a hand you could be using to defend yourself

 

and i bet al are safely put away, or on display, but not under your pilloew or by the door right?

 

What style do you pratice?

 

Right now I am studying wing chun, but I have a bit of YiLi Chuan experience also.

All my weapons are put away, except the ones that are on display. With the limited amount of room inside, it wouldn't be practical to try to use them inside anyway. The only time they leave the house is to go to class with me or to the park for me to train with them. The only sword I keep in my bed is used on my wife .

 

sure, i don't need the weapons. but a bat can do so much damage though... sure, i can subdue the attacker with no weapon. and yes, i do now how to hold a knife properly if i am using it in a fight.

do i want to use them? no, but there have been instances in my life where i've been threatened with knifes, guns, getting jumped by 30 people...

 

you mean you're not supposed to hold it by the shiny sharp side?

 

I know-OMG I ran for three blocks till you gave up.

 

LOL LOL LOL

 

well yea, i've had my head stomped by 15 skinheads before, 1st time..there wasa weapon in my room..the barrels off a double barrel shotgun..bout 3 times the weight of a bat..luckily they only threattened me with it & didnt use it
2nd time was on the street & if i had a weapon i probably would have been killed
bout a month later, the same group did stab someone to death when they tried deffending themself with a knife..they never did figure out who did the stabbing & as far as i know they got away with it

but i havent had a single problem in over 15 years & dont even bother locking my doors anymore

 

I have a knife I fashioned myself, from a rusty piece of metal.

 

Ha, I practice Tiger Crane combination. It's a traditional style and my tutor is from China. Your a man of my own heart
