Getting a stick swung at ya!

[Louise]

You'll never guess what I did today.

I had a stick swung at my head by a guy at least twice as big as me! AND I blocked it effectively, AND did a nice little twist-and-flick thingie that ... very nearly worked. But didn't. So the poor guy had to show me all over again.

I had my first ever Ju Jitsu lesson!  B) We were learning about all the different things you can do if someone attacks you with a stick - although apparently the same principle applies to a baseball bat or glass bottle. The guy I was working with was absolutely huge though, (and I'm actually quite small,) so with some of the moves we had to figure out adjustents so they would still work. But I still managed to incapacitate the poor bloke, and apparently nearly broke his wrist.  X_X

Yikes! I hope never to meet you in a dark alley!

Personally I prefer the "full-force-kick-where-it-hurts" technique, but yours sounds way cooler and probably far more effective, Louise

[Andi]

And it doesn't make so much noise like a gun. But maybe with a silencer?

[Conway]

Ha-ha! It's true, and I'll be attending the sessions with her. Anyone know any good techniques?

  Andi, I don't think we'll be using guns! O_o

[Andi]

I didn't said that. I simply mean your Ju Jitso is less noisy than defending with a gun.

[Timballisto]

I practice grabbing sticks and rods of all kinds from people threatening me (namely my brother and friends), so I'm quite good at it, and can always turn the tables in a fight.  Same thing with when someone grabs my arms.  I just do a quick little twisty move, twist their arm off, and grip mine around theirs!  

[Liebatron]

in fencing, as long as the other opponet is dumb enough to not grab my sword, i'm ok.(or in otherwords, i know only a few parries, dodges,ect...i can do intimidating twirly stuff though,!)

[Lemeri]

I never have seen the point of defined and planned out moves in sword combat. They often don't fit whatever situation you need, and your opponent my know the same ones and thus be able to anticipate it and destroy you.

[Andi]

This is why you have to be better than you opponent, or at least as good as you opponent. Then you two will collaps at the same time and no one wins or loses. But sword combat must be cool.

[Conway]

Not if you get your head cut off! =8O

[Andi]

Yeah. That's a problem.

[Ice_Eagle91]

Don't cut her head off!!!! :x

[Andi]

Sorry, but you gave me the idea Icey.

Of course I'm just kidding.
