glow Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 A guy and I were talking and he was telling me how a friend of his was taking this martial art. I forget the name of it but it sounded very intense. I believe he said it was korean but the way it sounds, it sounds like a highly effective way to add insult to injury. Basically a guy comes at you with a rifle and bayonette and you end up dissableing him and being able to kill him with his own weapon brutally as possible. If this rings a bell please let me know I really am kicking myself for loosing the sheet with the name of this on it.

Rich67 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Rifle? Bayonet? If someone comes at you with a rifle and bayonet and you are empty-handed, my suggestion is to run real fast in the other direction or prepare to get hurt...bad. I know that the armed forced teach techniques for defense against various weapons, and most of the techniques are based loosely on various MA's. But I know of no specific art (Korean, that is) that deals specifically with disarming and disembowling. Normally, someone with a rifle will not shoot you point blank; you're talking at least 7-20 feet out which is more than enough time for him to pull the trigger as you approach and wax you. As for the bayonet, well.... not too many people out there are walking the mean streets of the US carrying a rifle with a bayonet. Maybe in the middle east or Somalia... but even then the soldiers have M16's...if you want to go toe to toe with a guy wielding a rifle, be my guest. What do you want on your tombstone? BTW, Kung Fu San Soo is probably one of the most "brutal" arts out there and teaches you to seriously injure your opponent by whatever means necessary. But I never heard of the rifle/bayonet technique. It sounds like this person is either in the armed forces or he is simply blowing smoke up your keester. Mixed Martial Artist
battousai16 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 well, i hate to toot my own horn ( ), but hwarang do can be fairly brutal, and although i haven't gotten to any gun disarming techniques yet, i really wouldn't be surprised to see any later on; that seems like just the thing we would. i've mostly only learned knife disarming techniques, though.

DLopez Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 if you want to go toe to toe with a guy wielding a rifle, be my guest. What do you want on your tombstone? Rich67, you made my day with that one! I don't think I've heard of any martial art that can realistically claim to be able to teach you how to do that unless your name is Neo!
