@sithpowner The samurai had a weapon (forgoten the name) that was based on a European style felling axe but was made ith a short handle wraped in a bandage. If you get technical any bladed weapon can be a sword : /
@sithpowner well if you think about it a sword is just an oversized knife. A spear has a kunai shaped head which is a type of eastern knife which is a small sword, and a switchblade is a type of knife again. An axe has a similar shape to the first types of swords ever invented so you can kind of see what im getting at?
@vealicle1 when I re-read that I suppose it was not so clear, not likely this will be either...when I first began martial arts it was with a battle ax, not swords or karate, just me and i practiced (what i now know are kata's) my moves as if i were under attack by 3 opponents.
To this day, when I practice I start with "kata" against 3 opponents, then I "fight" against 4 enemy for a moment, then I try to imagine 5 antagonists, until I sweat. then I go to work on my punching bag.
@joji64theninja =) "mybackyarddojodo" (= , when I began with my ax-work i had no training in martial arts at all, merely playing basketball, raquetball, & archery afterschool sports. So I made it up, the basketball i'm sure is what prompted me to practice being triple teamed. later on i got a solid 12 lessons in karate which help me practice the ax with a more "martial" facet.
i wonder if any of the kung fu kwoons has specific lessons for the battle ax... be well
@FlyingAxblade oh I see. I don't know if you can call that a martial art but that certainly is something. and how did karate integrate into your axe skills? karate is not exactly a weapons martial art. it's actually the exact opposite, being a style that advocates the use of no weapons.
@joji64theninja right! but it is a "martial/combat art" & that's what "open-hand" taught me--that it (combat) is not about self-preservation it is about opponent-losing. At first, since I was young, i felt that it would be non-compulsory to kill, it was innate. then after karate, i found that merely taking the fight out of the enemy was enough. kinda like .223 vs 7.62 mm the american concept is tie up the enemies resources with healing, while the 7.62 process is to reduce
@FlyingAxblade while the 7.62 process is to eliminate the combatant. so karate taught my ax skills should not necessarily be focused on disarming yet it was a philosophy that increased my effectiveness! also, karate taught me to fight vs. individuals not teams...to defeat a basketball team relying on my teammates in "specific skill-sets" (center, guard, forward)... so that each opponent is WORTHY of my attention, assisted by training. difficult to articulate shortly.
Less jigeiko and more suburi... the fumikomi was all gone and the ashi sabaki was so not instinctive . Maneuvers and zanshin were also a bit slow ... the do hit at 1:27 was truthfully pathetic. Suburi time and ashi sabaki looks like it needs a bit of an an extension. The rest of it like rei-gi and striking was pretty solid though....Happy Birthday!!
@ICreepHouse I agree, ive been on the reciving end of a style of Kenjustu that used stabbs to force their enemy back and then they would take you by suprise with a swing from the side. I couldnt even take one swing at him before i was hit.
No martial arts practice with an ax. And btw kung fu doesnt. it was made by looking at animals attack each other. so hardly any weapons were involved

@jimyjamyninjas I wouldn't say that any bladed weapon can be a sword. Would you call a steak knife a sword? Or a spear? Or a switch blade?
