4,000 Post Contest

#1

Post by Dr. Snubnose »

As some of you already know I have spent many years studying and mastering many various forms of Martial Arts. My passion has always been the bladed weapons of those arts. So for my 4,000 post contest I gonna make the winner really work for this one...(maybe)....List the 8 countries from around the world, whose bladed arts I have studied that have had the most influence on the way I use bladed weapons for defense today. One guess per person...If no one gets it by next friday I'll give you another week to guess again, at which point if there exists no winner I will choose the closest guess as our winner....The Prize: a very nice NIB Spyderco (to be announced) I want to keep you in suspense!....Good Luck to all.....Doc :D

Bugger, bladed weapons only...

Philippines
The USA
China
Indonesia
England
Scotland*
Argentina
Spain?

*Can I lump both England and Scotland under "UK"? (apologies to all Scots who might be offended by this!) If so, my extra would be Italy.

Edit: As Doc said England and Scotland can be lumped under UK, Italy is now my 8th choice.

After more than two honest to god hours of in-depth research, I conclude with these eight countries. :) It will probably turn out to be the most time I have ever wasted in research on lottery-like chances.

- China
- Phillipines
- India
- Japan
- Argentine
- Israel
- United States of America
- Thailand

In the high chance that I do not win, I suggest that everyone else use these listed countries as a basis for your answer/guesses.

Good luck to everyone! :o

It might sound intimidating, but 4,000 really isn't that much. Yes, I did.

Edit: Yes, all 4,006. :D

Hey Doc, so can England and Scotland be classed together under "UK", or separately?
