Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

Why Sparring is Dead During my years coming up in martial arts, sparring was always an important part of training, and was one of my favorites. However, looking back now, I can see the many instances where the sparring was too hard. That was back in the day, where almost everything was done "th...

I have many Spyderco knives, more than some here, but far fewer than probably most around here. I ...
