delta1 Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 "Spoon? ..no...Nail file?...Maybe....bottle opener?...Nope..." It's early and I need more coffee...sorry. Swiss Army defense for a right front kick- drop to sitting stance, hold foot, administer pedicure! What can I say, it's early here too- and I was up all night waiting for my kids to spot a streak in the sky. SS, meet me down at the Shell and I'll buy the coffee! Then later in the day (at least 9:30 or 9:00 AM) we'll see if we can find an application for that bottle opener! Freedom isn't free!
steveb Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 You could say the same thing about people who carry guns and we all know how well that is working out. Not sure what your point is, and I'm not going to get into a debate about whether an inanimate object is good or evil. But I will say that, for a lot of infirm or weaker people, a firearm is an excellent self defense tool- IF the person who carries it trains with it!!! Just buying one and thinking it will protect you is as foolish as assigning intentions to it (good or bad)! That was just my sarcasm coming out. Sometimes my sense of humor doesn't translate well online. Res firma, mitescere nescit
delta1 Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Sometimes my sense of humor doesn't translate well online. No problem! Mine doesn't allways translate well in person! But, at least we've got one! Freedom isn't free!
Shorinryu Sensei Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Swiss Army defense for a right front kick- drop to sitting stance, hold foot, administer pedicure! ACK! I darn near spit my coffee out all over my screen at that one! What can I say, it's early here too- and I was up all night waiting for my kids to spot a streak in the sky. Meteor shower last night? Dang..and I missed it because I was dancing with two beautiful ladies instead! SS, meet me down at the Shell and I'll buy the coffee! Only if they have Canation Irish Cream Creamer! I'm so used to that, I'll hardly drink coffee without it any more. You did say you were buying? Then later in the day (at least 9:30 or 9:00 AM) we'll see if we can find an application for that bottle opener! At 9-9:30am??? Uh huh bud...WAY to early for this guy. I don't pop tops until at least noon as a rule. Wait a second...it's gotta be noon someplace in the world...right? By the way delta1...what city is close to you in central WA? Ever get over to Kalispell, MT? My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
delta1 Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Meteor shower last night? Dang..and I missed it because I was dancing with two beautiful ladies instead! Well, call them up and invite them for coffee! Only if they have Canation Irish Cream Creamer! I'm so used to that, I'll hardly drink coffee without it any more. You did say you were buying? Sure do! That's why I go there myself. Hope our tastes in women are similar as well. Come to think of it, as long as they are female, they pretty much meet my criteria! Bring 'em with! Wait a second...it's gotta be noon someplace in the world...right? Pretty sure it is! By the way delta1...what city is close to you in central WA? Ever get over to Kalispell, MT? I used to get over around Kalispel, but havn't in a long time. Moses Lake is the only sizeable city around here- and I only call it that to you because you are from Montana! I'm north, up SR17. Wenatchee is farther West. Way to the East is Spokane, and the largest thing to the North is..., Canada! Edit: for the record, I have never cheated on my wife. Just so everyone knows I'm kidding here (especially my wife!). Is drinking coffee cheating? Freedom isn't free!
Shorinryu Sensei Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Well, I don't know if these gals are your type really. Both around 5'7" or so...slim...cute...GREAT personalities..can't dance worth crap, but I'll fix that given time. One has hair down to her rear...other has hair about 1" long. Share? With you? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OK, I know about where you're at. I should have thought about this when I went to Tacoma 2 months ago. Should have stopped by and said "Hi" or something. It's always nice to put a face to go along with letters on the screen. Especially when they're Member of the Month! I'd love to see that rainbow belt in person! I promise not to rub it in that I was Member of the YEAR last year! lol Got a whole 7 votes! My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"

Guess you aren't in th' Big Sky country to look at stars after all! Share? With you? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Scared, huh? OK, I know about where you're at. I should have thought about this when I went to Tacoma 2 months ago. Should have stopped by and said "Hi" or something. It's always nice to put a face to go along with letters on the screen. True. But if I remember right, that was about the time I was in California. PM me before your next trip. Maybe by then I'll have my training room project finished. It's getting useable, but you know how those projects go. Especially when they're Member of the Month! I'd love to see that rainbow belt in person! I promise not to rub it in that I was Member of the YEAR last year! lol Got a whole 7 votes! Yeah, yeah. But YOU didn't get a rainbow belt! (neener neener!) Freedom isn't free!
Ted T. Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 The outside or high on the inside of the shoulder and the outside of the thigh are very safe as is a full thrust to the butt. Everywhere else and you take your chances of nicking something vital. The knife is no worse a s-d tool than any other articfact in our possession and much more common to our lifestyles than some others. Learning how to use one will help us learn how to defend from one and may come in useful in a dark time. imho Ted TruscottThe Raising Canes Club
JerryLove Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 The inside of the shoulder will hit the brachial artery (or is it the subclavian) and is a relatively quick bleed-out to death. The "Butt" contines a great deal that will not respond well to a knife thrust. There's all of the nerves controlling the legs and hips for example (good way to paralize someone) https://www.clearsilat.com
delta1 Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Agree with Jerry Love. The butt contains a lot of nerves, and the entire area is very vascular at different places. And both the brachial and subclavian arteries are in the vicinity of the shoulder. I suspect that Ted T was talking about trying to hit large muscle groups. But even if you manage to only hit a large muscle area, think of where that leaves you. You may not incapacitate him enough to stop the assault. He may not even feel it 'till later. You may save his life at the expense of your own! If the situation is seriouse enought o pull a knife, it is seriouse enough to use it seriousely! Freedom isn't free!
