With all due respect, I'm 10 and I could slaughter the family of everyone involved in the production of this video implement.

@Catobleppa my friend - best would be to slaughter yourself.

Enjoy !

LOL unskilled ppl sparing, now you know why some martial professionals from past become legends.

Well thats far from a halbert or a sparring session, but thats the spirit.

[leifdin]

@dbspaceoditty Yes, it is thing you can't see let's say in computer games. Just picking up stone and throwing it may be simple way to defeat opponent without troubles.

[dbspaceoditty]

@leifdin in sparring sessions we would normally start with a two handed weapon, then two one handed weapons and technical weapon like tethered projectiles or nets. (we made training/sparring fun) kinda like gladiator battles. it teaches you the worth of your weapons and what risks are worth taking. in a real fight a couple sticks some rocks a brick even a length of wire can be turned into effective weapons. 

[leifdin]

@dbspaceoditty Yes, I can imagine that. it can be pretty dangerous. I, on the contrary prefer two-handed weapons or weapon and shield. Dual wielding is not for me at all. If I ever was to dual wield anything, it would be dagger in left hand and sword in right one.

[dbspaceoditty]

@leifdin a si is what the red ninja turtle uses and a tonfa is pretty much a police baton with a side handle........the si is meant to catch/deflect/break weapons. a tonfa is also made for defense but has very powerful strikes when given the chance.

@zukuru im not going to lie... those two kids were fucking terrible

[leifdin]

@leifdin But yes, they need awful lot of training.

[leifdin]

@dbspaceoditty Would you please explain what si and tonfa is? I I assume it comes from Asia. Sorry for my unfamiliarity, but I mostly know only European weapons.

[dbspaceoditty]

@leifdin gotta love youtube. i trained with weapons a lot. my favorite thing to do is take a si and tonfa against a sword.i would reverse grab the si to deflect the sword and use the tonfa to swing over the weapon lock and hit them on top of the head( it was my signature move)

[leifdin]

@dbspaceoditty Ah, now it's clear.
