He claimed there was no such thing as a prison-style knife art. <br /><br />Might mean something, might mean nothing. <br /><br />WimWebmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248994833521462361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-90942749439254742322009-08-19T14:58:20.609-07:002009-08-19T14:58:20.609-07:00Ouch...damn, point taken.

It is nasty, and it is based on stuff that works. (I don't know all the other inputs, but there is some silat in there, because some of what they do looks like some of what we do. Of course, any art that works is going to wind up doing some things similar, or the same, because that's the nature of the physiology. Some will be shaped by other factors -- cultural, for instance -- but as I like to say a punch is a punch. There are only so many ways to throw it efficiently. ) <br /><br />We tend to use a little more foot work than Bobbe is demonstrating at the beginning levels -- get out of the way if you can; go in if you need to, and sweeps or besets after you control an attacking kinfe -- but you'll notice he's not leaving his knife arm out there to be blocked or grabbed, he's using his backup hand to clear and check all the time.<br /><br />This is a blade-against-blade demo. Imagine that the guy trying Bobbe is empty-handed, and how well that might work. <br /><br />That constant motion is part of our pukulan stuff, too -- you can do it bare or with a blade -- and real old-style.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.com
