August 30, 200619 yr Thought the straightsword was the scholar's weapon...me too and Buhhidist monks use Bo's cause its easier to hold back killing someoneI think the monks used the bo because it was a cheaper weapon, not because it wasn't as hard to maim/kill with it. https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
August 31, 200619 yr I like all the flashy bladed weapons as much as anyone, but they're not very practical today like they used to be. I feel that the Bo and the Escrima are two of the most practical weapons, because just about anywhere you go, you can find a couple of sticks or long pole or pipe of some sort (pool stick for instance) that you could use if need be.

August 31, 200619 yr Author Kind of like being a gentlemanly fighter.....is there such a thing?Here's a phrase I heard once: "The only guy that says he got hit by a 'cheap shot' is the guy who lost."No, not like a gentlemanly fighter - because there is no such thing. Like a scholar. As lordtariel pointed out. A gentleman and a scholar, eh?and Buhhidist monks use Bo's cause its easier to hold back killing someoneNot seeing the relevance, but, yes.I like all the flashy bladed weapons as much as anyone, but they're not very practical today like they used to be. I feel that the Bo and the Escrima are two of the most practical weapons, because just about anywhere you go, you can find a couple of sticks or long pole or pipe of some sort (pool stick for instance) that you could use if need be.Agreed, but that wan't my point.

August 31, 200619 yr That's what I think too, parkerlineage. No such thing as a gentlemanly fighter. No such thing as a fair fight either. https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
August 31, 200619 yr I guess I stand corrected.... The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
August 31, 200619 yr No such thing as a gentlemanly fighter. No such thing as a fair fight either.No, just an honorable fighter There's no place like 127.0.0.1
September 1, 200619 yr Even that is rare in today's society. Fighting is no longer seen as an honerable thing by most. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
September 1, 200619 yr Author I'd actually love to know how to say "The Art of Being a Dirtbag" in Japanese or Chinese, because I know a lot of people who are very high rank in that art. American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker
