25 years of martial arts training 🤷🏻‍♀️ , or my bow (and arrow)
@TexChik you are a weapon. I’m not supposed to have guns but I can still put a hatchet in a target at at least ten paces.

@JustGoneNow Hatchets can get ugly .
@TexChik yup. 😊

@tallpowerhouseblonde I prefer my Glock but without it I could probably get away relatively unscathed. We are hitting defending against edged weapons and clubs really hard lately .

@TexChik try mixing your training with Kali. It’s great fun with sticks, knives and empty hand.

It definitely good to have a healthy appreciation for knives. It’s totally different than regular martial arts. 👍🏻

@Adogslife yep . Anyone with a knife that’s closer than 20 ft from me gets shot . One of my attorneys carries throwing knives in the neck of his jacket . He is so fast and accurate. It’s scary what he can do

@TexChik wow, throwing knives in the neck of his jacket. Does he have a reason to carry those ?

@cherokeepatti he doesn’t like Guns

@TexChik Does he fear revenge by someone due to his occupation? I have heard of lawyers being attacked and the lawyers were armed and shot in self-defense…don’t know how common it is for such things to happen

@cherokeepatti I carry and he works for me . Lots of attorneys carry , most conservative judges carry . In Texas lots of people carry . He likes concealed carry but chose the knife as his weapon.

@TexChik well hopefully he can outdraw someone with a gun
TexChik · F
@cherokeepatti he’s damn fast . He put a book on the counter and we stood side by side . He told me to draw and point my ( unloaded) gun at the book . Before I could clear it from my carry purse his knife was sticking out of the book .

@TexChik I think seeing that would have given me chills
TexChik · F
@cherokeepatti and he’s stuck it where he said he would

@TexChik Probably smart to shoot. I just got into knives because my trainer trained with Dan Inosanto. We just morphed from JKD naturally into Kali then after a bit we moved to the knives. There are times I’ve almost been sick to my stomach with the training, but you definitely know where to and where not to put your arms and hands when a knife is involved. Blades are just different though…

Enjoy you’re training. Try some Kali sticks. That’s a ton of fun.
@TexChik What martial art did you study>
