I like to "knife fight" with white T-Shirts and magic markers.

Hey, great idea!

You are going to put some guys out of business when this gets out. I know someone makes a "marking knife" but I also like this idea because since the marker is not "shaped" like a knife it can increase awareness of the danger of boxcutters, screwdrivers, pieces of glass and other stuff that can readily be substituted for a knife.

I will bring this up at the studio ASAP. I know Crayola makes Washable Markers and I think you can buy a set of 6 or 8 for a few dollars. Then you could use your White Gi as well.
:idea:

Orrr take your shirt off and train with nothing on your top, then you can wash the marker of in the bath, AND see how many cuts accross vital organs and blood vessals you got...hehe

With regards to running away, obviously you can't do this all the time, and I wasn't trying to say that's the only option. But, if you can, then it's probably a good idea!

I invite everyone to get their hands on real flesh. I've spent time in slaughter houses (refered to as processing plants for the industry), and I've skinned animals and cut meat as a butcher. Cutting into someone is not as easy as one might think. Also, just because you've cut someone, doesn't stop them from putting a hole in your head with a fire arm, or sticking their edged weapon into you before they feel the effects of "bleeding out."

Trying markers on one another is a powerful lesson about speed and range, but I think there is more to the subject than just that.

On the topic of Running...

Mr. Swan taught me Early, like maybe in my first month, that your best technique is to avoid the confrontation altogether. So he said something like

1. If you see a place that could be dangerous, avoid it;
2. If you encounter danger, leave. Run if you have to;
3. If someone attacks you violently, defend yourself.

So the underlying principle here I think is that we are training for 3 which may come in many forms at any time.

Actually, we are in effect training for all three. #1 is where our mental and perceptual training comes in. #2 is where our spiritual training comes in, the mindset of the dragon. And of course, #3 is where the physical training comes in.

Just a thought. :asian:

LOL!

Cow under my arm..mmmm. She would struggle too much, plus she baths the kids training nights!

Right on. The Prepatory Considerations, etc. I agree with you.

[Goldendragon7]

What are the top 20 weapons we should have in Kenpo? and why?

 

[satans.barber]

10 finger and 10 toes, because they're legal and you can't misplace or forget them
