bushido_man96 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Anyone around here ever done a stick and knife fighting combination? It sounds like it would be very cool. Knife fighters are so fast, I would love to learn some. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbows_and_knees Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 in my jkd days, I trained kali. we worked stick and knife all the time. You say you train medieval combat - what specifically? they trained stick and knife too, or had variants - espada y daga, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 For the most part, my medieval combat consists of sword and shield. I am hoping to add quarterstaff to the mix. The only people I have to work with are some SCA affiliates, so there are some limitations. I have some friends who are willing to experiment, however, and I think we will start experimenting shortly with other weapons, and adding grips and such.I know this isn't the proper way to learn, but I have been reading my eyes out on Medieval combat books, to try to learn new things. No instructors in my area, and the nearest seminars are always in Texas or something like that. So, I am doing what I can with what I got. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseoForce Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I'd be doing the same as you if I had people willing to practice with me. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotokanKid Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I'm planning on doing some. The person who's teaching me Kali mentioned it, but I haven't trained in it yet.

Jiffy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I've done a little bit of Kali, but not much. Kali is by far the best at this method of fighting, although they refer to it as Stick and Dagger.If you can, get hold of one of Dan Inosanto's videos, he does a lot on stick and Dagger.Remi Prissas and Cacoy Connete (sp?) are both great instructors with good videos to watch. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockmeister Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I train with the stick and knife with my JKD instructor. I think it definately helps you with body mechanics as well.

alsey Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 i'd love to learn some knife fighting, it looks absolutely awesome. finding someone who teaches it is a mission though. i was at this kendo/kenjutsu/iaijutsu seminar thing once, and there were these japanese guys doing some tanto (samurai knife) stuff, it was SO FAST. seriously i've never seen anything like it.there's also that scene in under seige where seagal has a knife fight with someone. again, rediculously fast. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
