Just a quick comment on the swing log you practice on for a moving target. It swings at a steady, predictable and easy to follow and anticipatable rate. A human being doesn't and can move at trandon, including forward or backwards, side to side.

 

*waiting for him to tell me he has somebody standing by it and changing the rate now*

 

And if you don't carry your throwing knives with you on a regular, if ever, basis..what good are they to you in a fight?

Cant say i have someone 'changing the pace' of the log, but, it requires more skill to hit than a still tree or what-not.

 

As for the need to carry something regularly to use it effectively..........................uuuuuummmmmmmm.............i could have sworn you were having a sperl about the adaptability of weapons earlier...........i may be wrong. (Pubs have darts, Cafes/resteraunts have butter-knives, Offices have fountain-pens, the list goes on............but meh,)

 

Just one more thing, how many fights do you all actually get into (not in the dojo i mean,) i can say proudly, not many.

 

Why the flick would i want to carry throwing knives to the supermarket? I wouldnt. Its just common sense, and not everyone in Australia is a bowie-knife weilding crocodile dundee, so the use of weapons in street altercations usually only occur in muggings and similar crimes.

 

Carrying a weapon, especially if you train with that weapon, is quite un-intelligent, but that is a different conversation.

 

Osu.
