I carry a knife on me at all times. I have trained many dagger forms in various arts. I have to say from the pics Aq posted, that I don't want to find out if I know what the heck I am doing! I tell you what, punching and kicking, throwing and grappling, I feel OK, but, that knife stuff is nasty business. Where are you located Aqira? Is FLFL Florida? If so, I will be doing some work in Orlando and Miami next year, maybe you can teach me a thing or three?

Maybe aqira can do a seminar on knife fighting at the next meet up he is able to attend..

That would be awesome! I'll be the big bearded guy with the knife sticking through my jaw...

The student with the knife got what he deserved sad to say. Horseplay with a real blade is going to result in getting cut. Sounds like he was lucky though. Now my sifu would have slaped some duct tape on him and made him cleanup the blood.

Come on Larry Sifu would send us to the Hospital, when we were gone he would explain to the class how stupid it was. But the whole duct tape and clean up the blood is true though

SpearHead79,
Actualy I was refering to sifu Spaulding. He was conserned with the carpets in the school. Yes sifu Dufresne would have been conserned with the cut but probably would have stiched it up him self.
By the way, when I said sifu I should have associated a name with it. I have many teachers including yourself.

No, I learn from you Larry. You have showed & taught me way more than I will ever think of showing you.

My instructor was much like aqira, learn to deal with live weapons in class. If you get stabbed or cut your friends will take care of you. He only allowed senior people to train with live blades though. I am sure that incident helped everyone in class learn a new respect for the seriousness involved in defending against knife attacks.

Willow knows all about stabbing accidents in class. He was once practicing a kenpo form after class while our arnis instructor was standing nearby, holding a knife at his side point downward. A misplaced kick put the knife in Willow's foot. Good times.

! That's nice. Good times, indeed. Says on your profile, Rizzo, you do Kenpo. Is that where you learn the knife stuff, too?

training for real, using live blades, etc is one thing. Having a student playing,waving it and taunting another student,etc should never happen. Idiots like that don't belong in a school where grownups are training with sharp things.

Aqira, Where in Florida do you teach? I saw something about Orlando but that can be a broad term for some. I am orignally from Cocoa (brevard County). Wish I know about DL back when I lived there I might have actually been able to get into a style more of my liking.

i wouldn't say they don't belong in the school, but i would recommend he not have a part in this type of training until he learns control and responsibility.
and the guy is a cop, u'd think he knows the value and seriousness of dangerous weapons.
interesting...

Bull****. The guy will never learn the amount of "control and responsibility" to learn Martial Arts. He's a head case. Oh, and btw, being a cop doesn't qualify him as being responsible, or senseble. Many cops are ego-driven, immature, head-cases as well. Remember, not every cop became a cop because he felt a duty to help his fellow man. Many simply want a gun and a badge. Most should have neither.

i may have missed it (didn't read every post), but do u know this cop personally?
if not then i prefer to give ppl the benefit of the doubt.
excluding someone from the school/class doesn't help.
many ppl come to martial arts to take control of their lives.

maybe this guy is a late bloomer to the maturity game...
