Yeah, with my girlfriend as the camera-man, I'll be putting up some videos pretty soon of me and a buddy sparring. So I got to thinking, I might as well do a few instructional video's while I'm at it, show you guys the in's and out's of combat with a blade, and how things generally end up resolving themselves. Feel free to yea or nay this message.

Hmmm... Could be interesting, though I myself don't use bladed weapons/anything with much reach.

I can easily expand into other things. Most sword forms are based off stick and staff anyways. And stick and staff or the basis for most other weapons as well. Including mace, halberd, and obviously spear. Tonfa are also based on stick. Though I know you tend to fight mostly with dagger sized objects. I can get into some knife fighting to.

I like blades and swords and whatnot. Although personally, I prefer dual wielding two swords (although I've never done anything with a sword in real life), that does sound very interesting. I say go for it, Prime!

My roommate has a wooden sword, nunchucks, and a staff. I've tried my hand at nunchucks, and I always seem to fail miserably. There's not enough space to practice with a staff or sword.
Me personally? I'm more of a gun guy. The things are just so freaking beautiful. And why waste all the energy?
For hand to hand combat? I have knife. Damn, this thing is lovely.
Oh yeah, and when are you posting the videos?

As soon as the maddening midterms are over. I need at least three buddies over here to do it. One to smack the crap out of, one to hold the camera while the other dude has a bad day. Lol.

That's 2 guys, Prime, unless you're counting yourself as your own buddy, which would be strange and amazing.
Hmmm, strangemazing.

Eh, well its has to be 2 vs me to make it fair. If its 1 on 1, its hardly fair for them. I don't mean to be arrogant, I'm just stating the facts. As it is, I have to hold back far to much, even against two of them.
Also Pohatu, in the future I'd prefer that you notified me when you move a topic. It wasn't an issue this time, because people found it and posted in it frequently, which certainly made it easy to find. But in the future, keep in mind it can get hidden by other, more popular topics.
And since that would make it extremely hard for the topic creator, to find specifically, it's not to much to ask for a PM.
...
Sorry for lecturing you, I seem to be doing that a little to often lately.
But yeah, just tell me when you move shit so I know where it is.

I understand. Sorry. Normally I count on the 30 most recent posts to keep people aware of the location of recent topics (because you can follow a link straight to the topic from the 30 posts page), but since this one didn't get any posts for like a week after Bub@'s on the 4th, I can see why you thought it hard to finPr

You could always just leave the placeholder in the original forum for a week or so before deleting it.

I'm not sure which it is, stupidity or pride, but the thought of being instructed in blade tactics is somn that I'm just not fond of.

Give me a chance to carve you like a pumpkin and you'll find out which.

I'd rather learn by fighting you anyway. Even if most likely I'll be wearing some wrappings afterwords.
