Have you figured out which weapon you're using for the open weapon division?

Highly suprised at how legit Angel(the ninjas) fighting skils were. Score one point for the Booj, I guess.

Indeed. My one thing I wanted to do was beat a stereotypical LARPing Ninjer.
alas instead I meet the r34l ninja skillz.

He was quick and precise. Definitely legit.

The only division I sorta consistently beat him in was the knife categories.
and I actually managed to disarm him.. Not entirely sure how I did because attempting for disarms almost every time with my live hand is a bad habit I've acquired. so it wasn't really something I thought about.

still I even managed to screw that up. It must have looked hilarious from the sidelines.
but I was out of it and kind of still in the "point mindset" that I forgot that it still goes on. He did a very very clean throw/sweep/takedown of some kind and I pretty much pulled guard until we were stood back up.

he also got in some good kicks. most of the clean hits I got off that i could remember seemed to be my low percentage gimmick or clown moves. feint followed by Spinning kick followed by a backhand with the stick.

I was outclassed as everyone had 50x better conditioning, more sleep and no hangover.
best i made was like 4th or something in one of the knife divisions.

Still I had alot of fun and it was a great experience.

Are those pictures they took ever gonna get posted up?
I haven't been back to my gym for a few weeks because I'vebeen working and moving but I hope to have a few videos of the fight up so ninjas will have a fight video to wank about.
