Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread
First let me say throughout my 65 years (come this May)... of being involved with Martial Arts I have had many instructors/teachers and I can honestly say there was not a single teacher that I didn’t learn something from. Even if it were to learn how not to teach something or someone. As a teacher I...

Re: I finally met Bloke the other day

Re: First Wharncliffe ... been thinking about these for a while
Wharncliffe blade designs are very good for general edc tasks and utility. It is one of the more effective blades for Self Defense as they are very effective for slices, where most small knives are only good for stabbing..I have done meat cutting tests for many years and something like a yojimbo,or ...

Re: Anybody here wrestle in High school?
I wrestled in high school 3/4’s of one season. As a seasoned Martial Artist by the time I reached high school I went to watch our school team wrestle out of curiosity and fascination. Two days before our first match the student who wrestled the 99lb-101lb weight class died in a car accident, and as ...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread
I too am small, 5’6 118lbs soaking wet...the most difficult fighters to fight is someone your own size, weight, and arm length... so you are so right about studying with an instructor whose size is similar to yours... not a absolute but true nonetheless..
