➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

I would never be able to fight anyone :lau I, too, am extremely out of shape and also quite clumsy and uncoordinated. I would definitely get my ass kicked 😂🤣🙈

Not to mention probably pull a muscle or two 😂🤣

I would like to learn how to turn stuff into weapons though. 🤔🧐

Can you turn a spoon into a weapon? A piece of paper? A pen? 🤔🧐
You don't need a weapon to be heavy to be effective. You just need to know where to put it. I could disable someone with a spoon or a pen. A piece of paper can be a good distraction while you kick or hit something.

The day I got my shodan was interesting. I went to a taikai and was the only person from my training group to go to this one. My teacher's teacher was there, as well as Jack Hoban. I spent two hours on my 250cc motorcycle to get there, and when I got there, my instructor's teacher came up to me and said, "You're testing for shodan today, right?"

My intelligent response was, "Uh... okay?"

I went through my forms, and was standing watching some other people who were testing when I heard a yell from behind me. To this day I'm not sure what I did, but I moved, rolled, and the shinai went full speed down and across, but I didn't get hit. Jack had snuck up behind me and told me I passed as soon as I was back up and facing him.

I was just reading the full site that I linked, and Mark Hodell is mentioned. He was my instructor's teacher.

That makes sense!! That’s actually one reason why I don’t really like my new keys because it’s just the fob/push start, no actual key. I liked carrying the actual key between my fingers so I could stab somebody if need be 😂🤣

I heard you (general you, although maybe you can 😂) could put a pen in someone’s eyes but idk if that’s true or not.

And true!! I wonder if you could make a paper airplane and throw it in their eyes? Or give them a paper cut? 😂🤣

Just noticed the edit but oh wow that sounds really interesting for sure!!! They use a real sword!? :eek:
 
You can use anything as a weapon. You don't need to do anything fancy with it, just learn to use what's around you.
I need to look into this. 😂🤣 I’ll probably never need to use it but could be fun. I should really also probably learn some self defense or something haha I kinda wanna get a punching bag too. Not really related, I know, but I think it’d be good for me 😂🤣🙈

Burn off some anger lol

I try to be positive and patient and everything and am most of the time but I do get angry really easily sometimes. :oops:

In training it's a shinai or boken. Practice weapons. I have wooden swords, knives, spear, naginata, staff, stick. I still have my kusari gama, kusari fundo and blow gun as well.

I almost always carry a kubaton. That is a short cylinder about 6" long. Legal to carry. An awaru stick which is about 12-18" long is a felony to carry. A gun is a misdemeanor. Go figure.
