Re: [TheBladeThrower] Re: Clay pidgeon throwing

if your near houston or anywhere else that offers weeping style jujutsu try it i think you'll probably like it . i also like that you've got both feet on the ground as far as kicking lol. but remember the oponnent that acts dazed may actually not be manys the time i've acted dazed or such in order to setup a knockout. in my style of back hand throw theres hardly no appearance ofit coming . i also like underhand throws . seldom do i throw as a combative tactic to me now it's for fun. look up skeeter vaughan he was a great thrower altho seldom mentioned in many venues. in weeping the use of joint locks etc is pretty serious i have found you can cause plenty of pain without looking like your doing much at all. the yamada family was the originators of the system. altho little of the history of the family is allowed to be gotten out so to speak they were members of the ruling classes retainers. i have known & respected the guy thats now head of the ryu. since the 70's . he's had personal problems which led me to respectfully remove myself from being in his life but  thats his decision by continuing the path he's leading. man the intensity he had on the mat was superb. oh well old history. lol  like i said mike echanis was great with a blade. i'm unsure if randy wahner is still alive or not. theres a style of hwarangdo thats not of the lee family that is useing a spyderco knife in it's defensive work. not too bad an idea. i like the police model. also keep in mind when going for a combat knife the best one is at least 6 inch blade. i like the gerber mkII . they don't make them any more. wish they did . but i even like the trubalance bowie axe for most of my throwing. it just fits me . lol  tom

True, backhand throws have a lot of power - I like them too -, but
the windup is predicable. They are more of an close-up throw - for me
anyway -, so I would be afraid that somebody fast enough might block
my arm as I would raise it for the throw. That's why I like
underhands and sidehands - with underhand, the knife can be hidden
behind your thigh until the actual throw, with sidehand you can throw
from a more or less fighting stance without too much shifting.
TKD doesn't mean that I kick above waist; that's only for very,very
dazed opponents - and if they are in such state, you can probably run
away. Nor I use spinning or jumping kicks(I can do them, but I don't
like unusual suicide methods). By training style that favors kicking
you develop strong, fast kicks regardless of where you target them. I
quit TKD because I felt it is a bit sterile and not enough street-
wise, but I retained the kicking ability pretty well.
