[xredxthornsx]

@buddhastrike No problem, I have recently decided i have wanted to learn the use of yawara and kubotan as well as other less then lethal means. As well i am also looking into learning knife offense and defense. I dont have a conceal handgun permit yet . but that is in the works. to. This way i will have 3 means of defense. allowing me to decide what is needed at the time. (though in many instances i may now have the time to decide. i will just have to act on instinct)

[incarnadinelifestyle]

Nice vid. Can't figure out your forms. I practice Xing-Yi, so it looks familiar but different.

[darktard]

You are a black buddha. awesome lol

[buddhastrike]

@darktard Thx U 4 the comment !!!! Osu !!!

[missourioregon]

the stick is great for training, but for those in an LEO or security position, a surefire style flashlight may be an option. as well as a flashlight of that size is slightly heavier due to batteries.

[SuperDESTROYER71]

Very nice video!

[CombatMindset]

Very smooth flow David! Like always ;) Cheers !

[buddhastrike]

@CombatMindset Thx U 4 the comment !!!! I hope U R having a fantastic New Year !!!! Osu !!!

[buddhastrike]

[iq201]

I have a couple sticks from Alpha Innovations (6" and 5"). I just ordered some sticks from Cold Steel (7.5" and 6.5"). I'm new to this, but this way of defensive fighting is fascinating. Compliance and submission techniques are important to know because sometimes a person just needs an attitude adjustment, not a fatal injury. I don't have any formal training. I'm just picking up tips from Youtube and other places.

[buddhastrike]

@iq201 I sent U a message 2 Ur inbox. Ck it out !!! B well, Train safe !!! Osu !!!!

[iq201]

I'll bet you can make an attacker look silly in a split second.

[buddhastrike]

@iq201 Thx 4 the comment !!! I will stop the "crazies" if they try 2 attack me, Brother !!!! Osu !!!!

[YababaVideo]

[buddhastrike]

Thank U,  ohshogunate !!!! Osu !!!!

[BRP1968]

Pocket sticks are the best. I have an SD2 koga from Cold Steel that I carry everywhere. It's polymer

, so it weights virtually nothing and is nearly indestructable.

I love it for striking, scraping and hooking.

Absolutely THE best self defense investment I have ever made...for about $10.00.

LOL

[buddhastrike]

I totally agree BRP1968 !!! Cold Steel has some superb products that more than "fit the bill" for pocket stick self defense !!! Osu !!!!

[vishakha17]

ur very good with your hands! i can really c what moves you are doing and how they are used. i love how ur movement is like snake moves aswell! well done ;)

[buddhastrike]

Thx U very much 4 the compliments Vishakha !!!! I hope that you will have a very prosperous and wonderful New Year !!! I also hope you'll put up more videos of your excellent work !!!!! Osu !!!!

[tyroneturner]

Buddha-san, the way you're working this yawara is a looooonnnggg way from what I've seen of kubotan and other pocket stick work. You've made a very innocent, harlmess looking peg a formidable weapon. Bravo!

[buddhastrike]

U know how we do in "Da' Boogie Down Bronx", Man !!!! LOL !!! Thx U 4 the compliments, Senpai !!!

[buddhastrike]

Thank U Izzy 4 the comments !!!! I'm trying to get it "Poppin" !!!! LOL !!! :D

[izzyamar]

2 words for you - HOLY SHIT!

Tyrone showed me these videos, and you are freaking amazing! Can't wait to see more of your work!!!
