SaiFightsMS Posted November 8, 2001 Posted November 8, 2001 I see throwing knives and archery in here now. One of my lesser known weapons I have experimented with is the blowgun. Actually I got my first blowgun at a time when I was having a lot of trouble breathing. I did it then as a respiratory exercise. One of my home health nurses helped me get one. Later I found it to be a fun and effective anger management tool. It is very satisfying to take down a picture of someone and find a nice little hole right between the eyes. I should cut out a picture of Osama and put him up on by target board.
SBN Doug Posted November 8, 2001 Posted November 8, 2001 So you're saying you just picked it up on your own? No formal instruction? Cool. Isn't that typically a Japanese weapon? Or does someone know of another country that has used it? Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.

kicker Posted November 8, 2001 Posted November 8, 2001 i was wondering if a blowgun is the same as a airgun?? if so then i could say something! when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
thaiboxerken Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 The Philipinno martial arts also teach blowgun, darts, throwing knives and archery. Learning to use a blowgun is fairly easy, as far as accuracy, but there is a whole array of poisons that are used which would be part of the training. Breathing exercises are helpful also, breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Never breath in through your mouth with a blowgun on your lips. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.
KUGB_Chris1985 Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 all annoying little kids in lower school use the outides of Biros as blowdarts and use chewed up paper as the dart! sad little kids! It'd be kewl to learn proper blowdarting (is that correct? Blowdarting???)!!! "In combat know the enemys rhythm, use a rhythm he cannot anticipate, upset his rhythm, and win."

SaiFightsMS Posted November 10, 2001 Author Posted November 10, 2001 No Kicker blowgun and airgun are not the same. Actually I picked up blowgun several years before I developed an interest in the martial arts. Poison darts hmmmmm. Might be interesting to go after a few local crows with some. Might cause a problem with the local police though. I have recently started seeing paintballs for blowguns. Wonder if I could start a new art style?
