American Schools Shaolin Kempo (and the BS I have dealt with)

[goodlun]

If someone has only ever used knife-simulators they might not know knives are usually sharp. . .

(Or they may have just been getting all of their knife techniques from medieval european dagger fighting, being that a lot of what was recorded describes weapons that were often quite blunt.)

Having heavy leather gloves on helps a lot as well

#1. How am I a liar.

Your words .

this is the only post i will make here.

So much for you only post.

#2. Congratulations. 35 years is a long time. I hope to say the same some day.

Then you need a bit more education.

#3. Really? As a good student I put up a thread to defend my system
And you a high level black belt of 35 years wants to meet face to face.
Wow. Who pissed in your cheerios.

You need reading lessons my young friend. I'm letting you know not to go that way. Hence "Before you reply hastily....."

And what's wrong meeting me face to face? I've done it with over 50 members here. You have much to learn.

When you grab a weapon-holding hand properly, you prevent them from switching hands. This does not apply to grabbing the blade. Plus all the other reasons that grabbing a blade is a bad idea. Do you really think 8 weeks of that is necessary to critique it? Does grabbing a blade become a better idea when your belt is a different color? Does this technique account for a double edge blade? You know, you can strip knives out of people's hands without ever grabbing the blade?

Where does SKK get its blade fighting theory anyway? Reverse engineered from unarmed kempo?

Yes. That makes you a liar. You do know the definition of liar right?

You said you started this thread, you didn't. You said you would only post once, you didn't. You want intelligent conversation but you didn't start off with intelligent conversation. Now you are coming at me with hostility. You are impressed with your "master" would you talk to him this way? If not then you're a hypocrite. You are young, in the head. You are right, we are not friends you're a sycophantic coward now go throw your temper tantrums with your little cult; you uneducated sycophantic neophyte.

So you have to be some sort of expert to know Knives are sharp and grabbing them by the blade is a bad idea? Or does your training somehow make your immune to getting cut?

I'm thinking about taking a cooking class with some great souflee recipes. One weird thing, though: we're being taught to hold our knives by the blade. Luckily, since I'm just a novice at chopping onions, I'm using a safety knife. I don't want to be disrespectful or ignorant so I'll just stick around until I graduate to real knives and see how it goes!

personally I beleive you should challege bullshit where you find it. A true teacher shouldn't be upset and be quite willing to show you why and how at any time.

I believe that the gym is a learning environment and asking questions is part of the learning experience. If I am watching a technique being demonstrated and I see a huge hole in it (especially if I see it cause I suck and if I can see it well yeah) I feel comfortable asking the question in a respectable manner.

I kill all that question me!!!
