Billl, Just curious, are you proficient with those swords, I mean as in trained well, or are you just a swing and hack guy?

I have several years of Chinese Kung Fu training (haven't really kept up with 95% of it), including some basic weapons training (staff, singlehanded longsword, aka 'tai chi' sword) that i have largely kept up with over the years. I also have infantry bayonet training, which is directly applicable to my spear or a staff.

Of course i'm getting up in the years now, so i'm not as fast as i once was, i reckon.

If i had to actually pick one of my melee weapons to fight with, i would pick the spear (far right),



...in a heartbeat.

I want you to fall from the sky and do a monkey roll in front of that white couch...with spear in hand.

If you do that, then you will be a Pelican god.

Ok, fair enough, you know more than a street thug. BTW, I had hand-to-hand in the USMC incluidng bayonet work albiet almost 40 y/o, and I can tell you that even in the USMC, I didn't think it was any where near enough to be called anything close to "proficient". I hope we do a show in Philly again (last was a little bit of National Treasure), I'll buy you the first round.

Would love to hang with you and offer you a ride in the 928 my friend.

Army bayonet training was very basic, just a handful of moves. But if you actually practiced those moves until you could do them fluidly and automatically, they were also extremely lethal.

Butt stroke, slash, thrust (or any combination thereof) is an extremely devastating sequence if it's done with enthusiasm and skill. Replace the rifle with a spear, and it's even more viscous.

If you think thats a woman with that scruff on her face than I think you need to upgrade the chicks your seeing, no offence snipe but you'd make an ugly chick and I'd wear that shirt almost anywhere I go.
