Martial Arts Topics / Barbados version: sticklicking
« on: February 12, 2005, 01:25:21 PM »
They call it sticklicking in Barbados. They would use sticks made from Guava branches. My mother(who hates stickfighting and the fact that I train  :lol: ), said men used to stickfight when she was young. My guess is that it's barely practiced now...

I think the trains are a lot better than they were in the 1980s and early 1990s. People got jumped/robbed a lot more back then.

a pair of ironwood sticks that are absolutely beautiful and great for training because they are considerably heavier than normal sticks
and the stick bag for some free advertising for him  :lol:


hmmm, i may try out the ironwood then. thx.

i wonder if i could get the stickbag for advertising also :-), they look great


I ordered one years ago, but never used it. I figured it would probably draw the wrong type of attention while traveling on trains and buses.  :lol:

I just finished watching Walking Tall, and did a websearch on the real sheriff. It seems they are selling his stick. I would hate to get hit by this sucker! :D

Martial Arts Topics / dog brothers on dvd
« on: August 14, 2004, 09:13:13 AM »
I can't wait until the DVDs are available! I've had the tapes for some years now. I let a friend borrow #1. He left it laying around somewhere at work. OF course it disappeared. I then bought a replacement, which I kept for a while. I ended up giving it away to another friend so he could learn some of the basics. I don't know why people have such a hard time returning stuff that isn't theirs.  :evil: I am very wary about lending out training, or any other type of, videos & DVDs. Anyway, when the DVDs are available, I'll purchase Vol. 1 to make my set complete again.

Martial Arts Topics / FMA gloves
« on: July 18, 2004, 07:29:01 AM »
For sparring, most people use hockey or lacrosse gloves. For training, I've seen some people use baseball batting gloves or fingerless bicycle/weightlifter gloves. I prefer no gloves at all for training. The blisters eventually callous over...

Martial Arts Topics / purchase a knife
« on: June 03, 2004, 11:18:43 PM »
Guro Crafty,

I've watched your videos. I think the average guy with a knife wouldn't have a chance against you if you had a length of pipe.  :D Now if he's also trained in the FMA/IMA, then I could see where you'd probably want to have the knife, cause if you miss the first pipe strike, he's gonna close real fast with the knife.

Martial Arts Topics / Re: Spyderco Persian & Serrations
« on: June 03, 2004, 11:14:05 PM »
The Spyderco Persian has a blade length of 3.5". That's an error on the NewGraham website.

Serrations(and regular plain edges) are easy to sharpen if you have a Sharpmaker sharpener...

Martial Arts Topics / purchase a knife
« on: June 03, 2004, 11:02:30 PM »
"Which one would I have in my possesion?" Most likely a pocket knife. Unless I happened to be doing some sort of plumbing job. :D Or if a situation was so bad that I'd carry an ASP baton.

I personally haven't held a length of pipe that was lighter than a rattan stickof the same length & diameter. They(iron, brass, & lead pipes) usually weigh as much as a kamagong stick or heavier. One solid hit to the head, knee, or weapon hand...or any combination of the above, should end a fight...hopefully.

As for legal size, you can check your state/city laws in the library, or go to http://www.akti.org , or post the question on Bladeforums.com.

Woof,

I carry a Benchmade Mini-AFCK.  Sometimes in my pocket, mostly in bag with a bunch of other stuff.  I'm pretty sure the blade is slightly longer than the legal limit in CA.

-Dog Milt


Isn't the legal blade size in California 5"? I think I remember reading that somewhere. Or is that Texas? The Mini-AFCK's blade is 3.25" long. In NY, we have to stay under 4".

Martial Arts Topics / Brand new pup needs equpment advice......
« on: May 27, 2004, 04:57:05 PM »
The "standard" diameter of rattan sticks is about 1". If you have large hands like me, you'll probably want 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" diameter sticks. I have a pair of 1 3/8" sticks from KIL that I had to retire from class use. My Guro called them tree trunks. They were destroying everyone's sticks. They are the densest pair of rattan sticks I own. You can barely see the pores in the end of the stick.

Martial Arts Topics / Surfboard Wax for stick grip?
« on: May 26, 2004, 07:10:46 AM »
I just received a Top Dog stick, and was reading your suggestions for grip retention. Using surf wax is one I've never heard of. Which wax do you all use? I checked out Mr. Zogs website, and there are probably 20 different waxes. I'm considering the Hockey wax that they sell...
