Jew jitsu
surprisingly effective
Also, HEMA is fucking bad ass much respect
I used to take knife drills, you can get a lot of information on youtube.
Also, professor Blackwood, who is a blackbelt in several forms of martial arts, could really help you if you actually went to college.
You lazy SOB, take some initiative, you shouldn't need to ask for help! 😉
I'm just being salty 😃
Thanks. HEMA's probably not as combat-practical as knife things but it's fantastic exercise. And of course the historical bit
Pick up a Sparring knife bro (Sportsman warehouse, or just make one yourself), and watch the videos that are already on youtube, and practice with T.
Also, practicing with a heavier knife is an obvious way to get started.
I know that all sounds like bullshit, but I couldn't offer any better advice.
Practice basic stances, move your entire body around, most of all use your left hand plenty.
Hold the knife in your left hand in a reverse grip, and stab/chop through a descent sized tree trunk, circling around the trunk while you do so.
Once finished, do the same with your right hand.
Doesn't have to be a tree, just use anything laying around that's in great supply.
I know that sounds like bad advice, but I actually got that from a friend who used to be an officer in the Australian police force.
That's sort of just the bare bones minimum, but it's better than nothing.
uhh, Did I say something wrong guys? Room just got really silent.
Nah, you are good. Talking about training particularly for sport/exercise/self defense is encouraged.
I was eating dinner m8 and thanks, that's some good advice
We have knife here in the gym to practice knife fighting with
sparring knives*
My Bowie weighs over a pound, and I frequently do that exercise. Now picture, what happens if I do (for self defense) have to stab someone with my glock, which weighs twice as much?
Also Austin, your switchblade is shit for combat I'm afraid.
How so?
I think just about all of us are into regular training/work our routines at this point. It is good to discuss what we do as motivation for each other, progress updates, and insight.
I mean if I couldnt kill someone with that and my training then they deserve to kill me. lmao
I don't need a 300$ knife, nor multiple knives in a street fight.
Well, it's a liner lock, if you stab someone you risk transmitting too much force into the tang of the blade, causing the lock to fold, possibly injuring yourself.
No, just get a fixed blade knife.
Or a normal priced knife with a lockback.
I don't think you know proper cuts, Artair..
When it comes to acutaly human bodies
I've studied it quite in depth.
It's not a mexican stab fight
I've acutally trained in depth.
The idea of training is 100% self defense. The discussion began with people's concern of being attacked by Antifa type terrorists. We need to be able to survive an attack (solo or in a group), so being physically and mentally prepared is mandatory.
I've also trained in depth, very carefully from the fairbairn sykes methods.
Since we don't have the luxury of training together it is up to each individual to have discipline and prepare to protect himself and his people.
Honestly though Artair you're welcome up here in Eugene, my Dad would gladly teach us both anything about knife fighting
