Fall of the Broken - OOC

[OnlytheStrong]

Oh I do have a katana, but it's not very good for carrying in public. lol

lol yeah, Lee had to punch at around half speed (it's said) because the camera's couldn't pick up his punches otherwise. That's crazy fast. I'm not built very well for that kind of combat. I played college football, so I'm kinda a big, bulky guy lol

Heh, half speed? I doubt it... though, on the other hand...

If you want to see the Dai-Sifu I train under, try searching for "Dai-Sifu Allan Jensen" on YouTube... he's so awesome, I can hardly believe it. I honestly can't see half of his movements he does when he shows us openings in our defenses.

Heh, I'm a tall, thin, underweight guy... who lives in the area of Denmark that's most famous for being a "bad area." If I ever get assaulted on the street (again, anyway) them blokes will be sorry indeed.
The idea of Wing Tsun appeals quite a bit to me... hit the opponent fast, hit him in the vulnerable spots and keep hitting him... and do it long enough to ensure he doesn't just get up and knife you.

At our training center we also have Weapons Combat Escrima, Historical Weapon Training, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and weight-training though Wing Tsun is the main attraction.

Escrima training is nasty lol. I broke a finger with one of those. It was padded too lol.

Back on topic p): I hope Finn isn't pushing the boundaries of knowing Meredith ir'Bana or Hashkavak's powers. I kinda got put in the spotlight there and tried to keep it to general knowledge, stuff he heard you guys talking about, and things he might know through his information broker business.

 

[Need_A_Life]

Heh, it'd be unusual to know about the nature of the Adar vs. Riedra situation, but not too much.

Hehe...

Zurai, you are too curious for your own good...
Keep that sword handy

Escrima training is nasty lol. I broke a finger with one of those. It was padded too lol.

heh, stayed away from it thus far... it's exclusively the same time as WT-training with the current schedule, and as one of our Sifu's said:

"People who want to learn how to fight go to room 2; people who want to play with sticks, room 1."

That day I managed to kick hard enough to send a person flying backwards into the wall
xD

'Sides, I'm more likely to have my fists handy than a pair of sticks if I'm assaulted...

 

[OnlytheStrong]

The older style of weapons fighting is for show. I don't know anyone who has a sword, kama, etc in their pocket. I am sort of interested in learning cane fighting. I saw a guy on tv demonstrate it, looks fun. The only fights I have ever gotten into have been in a bar. So far, (cross my fingers) I haven't been whooped yet. Course, I'm 6'2'' 255lbs and pretty muscular so I have the intimidation factor going I guess.



Zurai, make friends with Olot quick!! lol

 

[Voda Vosa]

Yeah, otherwise you'll end like that elven guard Muehehe. JK =D

 

[Need_A_Life]

Heh, in WT training we actually practice the bar-fight scenario.

We assume that he comes over either with his fist raised (unlikely) or comes over to push us.

First, we use pak sao (deflect the punch and hit him at the same time) or simply chain punching (if his defenses are down for some reason), chain punch him for a few seconds and then use our powerful push to send them back several METERS (not kidding here!) and enter our stance while saying: "I don't want to fight you."

Two scenarios come after this. First is that he backs down (because he just got punched several times w/o hitting you) and the second is that he comes back.

If he backs down, then great. Enjoy your beer. If he doesn't, we use our "Universal Solution," which is a combined kick and punch. Once the kick hits him (in the nuts) he bends forward into your incoming fist, which adds to the power of your punch (and then, of course you enter chain punch).

Never been in a bar-brawl, though. Almost want to try it, almost.

EDIT: Remember, you can't be sure that the guard doesn't return to haunt you (whether he's alive or not)!

Bar fights are cake as long as you see them. Its the guy you didn't see that hurts. I have a scar from my knee to my shin from a guy I got lucky enough to dodge. He was on the ground and a knife came out. The fight was over after that though, the whole place turned on him lol. Ruined a pair of my jeans though.
