delta1 Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I have a full beard most Winters, since I'm outside a lot. It's a very practical thing to have in the cold. But... As you can immagine, it can be a real problem in the martial arts. Besides giving an opponent something to hang on to for leverage (and pain compliance, the rotters!), I often have the embarassing tendency of grabing the thing myself when doing things like clearing/escaping headlocks or chokes. Last year I shaved my head but kept my beard. I realy don't want to part with the beard 'till Spring. Any of you have a similar problem? Freedom isn't free!
Pacificshore Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Hey delta, you can conceal your weapons in it as well Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
Guy_Mendiola Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Hey you could hide some ninja stars in the beard.
monkeygirl Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Try gelling your beard, so when people grab it, they get sticky and go "Eww!" and let go. It's the ultimate self-defense for bearded men, I call it Sti-ki-do. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.

Guy_Mendiola Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Hey if you put gel on your beard then you could make it spikey and I mean make the tip pointy and then you could use that as a weapon.

It's the ultimate self-defense for bearded men, I call it Sti-ki-do. LOL Never thought of that! Axle grease might work too. Or maybe lard- after a while, the smell might reppel them! (2nd thought, not these clowns.) But the slippery trick is a good idea. I'll letcha kno. Freedom isn't free!
delta1 Posted January 20, 2004 Author Posted January 20, 2004 Hey delta, you can conceal your weapons in it as well Hey you could hide some ninja stars in the beard. Actually, if it gets just a little longer, I think I'll jsut tie some stars in it and use it as a whip- sort of an organic cat o' nine tails. Freedom isn't free!
Drunken Monkey Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 you have no idea the kinda image i now have in my head of you.... or the crazy assed moves i can imagine with a beard like that! post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
