Sneaky is the way to go.
Of co...Yes, this is true. Sneaky is the way to go.<br /><br />Of course, it's a long-running argument. If a meteor falls out of the night sky and smacks you in the head, what are you gonna do?<br /><br />If somebody lines up on you from half a mile away with his sniper rifle and cooks you, what's your defense against that? <br /><br />You might be paying enough attention to notice somebody heading your way in a manner that makes you nervous. If you train in our stuff, you assume he has a weapon, even if you can't see it. If you are wrong, it doesn't cost you anything. <br /><br />So, you make the best of the situation with what you've got. And that might be only a second before the knife comes in, but better to have that than not.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-61927389179604555982009-11-13T13:06:48.586-08:002009-11-13T13:06:48.586-08:00Isn't the usual issue that if they are good wi...Isn't the usual issue that if they are good with the blade they are even less likely to let you see it and that...most people never see it anyway?<br /><br />http://www.lwcbooks.com/articles/edgedweapons.htmlMaster Planhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699687565908188376noreply@blogger.com
