My live Gunting use,first time

#1

Post by whosyour »

hi



I got a few minutes before I go back to work,but anyway here's what happened.

Saturday the 5th I'm at the bar it's about 1:00 am and I put down the glass for the night and walked to the back door.About 8 guys and gals standing around in front of the door.Nothing out of the ordinary until I hear What punk you want some?I think well aint this great and they're all fighting a skinnier 21 year old 6'1 and some hillbilly fool who had to much.Kids mostly.Anyway a shove later it was on.I observed for a moment and saw a little guy grab ole country boy and it just wasn't stopping so I stepped in this little area in the back not to fight but i knew most these kids.I restrained the guy but he squirmed through mad at the other guy and he hit him and some girl,I thought thats it prick.I drew and not wanting to injure him or anyone else or make a seen.I delivered two blasts to the outer elbow pressure point with the butt and then a press strike into the back of his hand with the ramp as I grabbed his fingers and showed them where the ceiling was and them put himon the wall.It took maybe 3 seconds and that was it.I spread my arms wall to wall and said that was it and well everybody agreed.Being 6'5 and 240+ i was by far bigger than the other guys and with what i know.i could have easily hurt one of them,But a few arms strikes and a sore hand is all that that dude felt besides his hangover.

Yeah I wanted to thank you Bram.I've had my gunting since they first hit the market.You even autographed the boxes for fourcycle(Terry)I did however double edge mine for a more personal feel.So the idea of opening a blade like that is a decision point.Hope noone ever has to do that.i liked the tape series.Is the book and tapes set coming through.Thank you for the gold star award.I'll be sure to put mine on the sharpmaker.

As I said you did great..Maybe you deserve a break today..
Email me and I'll think of something..there might be a CRMIPT in your future...

I have a personal set that includes a full super serrated edge and I also have a very nasty double edge...
and a few variations just so I could check them out..ROFL..
THe book is underwheigh..the pictures are all shot..
we're doing a few more in a couple of weeks and shooting the Curriculumn series videoes for the Gunting & Drone & CRMIPT..
Impact, escape from grabs, counter for counter, knife to knife,...removal-extraction
from confined spaces.i,e. cars, cells etc..

Of course theres the regular Gunting tape series still out and I'm working on a mini Gunting..the TUSOK...
