Art of defense

[Patchouli]

@Amish Heart I wasn't sure where to put this. You mentioned having a teenage mutant ninja turtle backpack with scabbards for swords.
Guess what I found? Of course!

Now those would look so good on you, Patchouli.
I'll put on my ninja outfit, complete with my pack and stealth ninja two toed footwear
And we'll take down the bad guys.

I'd probably put my eye out or cut my ear off the first time trying.
You'd have to be my trainer; after all, it seems like you've got this down already.

 

[Amish Heart]

No problem.
You'll keep your eyes and your ears.

Thats cool! Those are serrated, I guess you have to saw things in half instead of slicing them.

 

[Cascadian]

I think that is a finish on the blades and not serrated.

 

[Patchouli]

Serrated might be okay if I were fighting goblins and pigs, but I think Cascadian is correct about the finish.

 

[Amish Heart]

You could earn a badge being a goblin and pig fighter with serrated knives! Now, you need some split toe ninja boots like mine, so we can sneak around.

I looked those up too, AVAILABLE, of course. Jika tabi boots.

I'm concerned. When people are doing their martial arts and kicking in the jaw, etc., they're barefoot.
There's more...so towards TEOTWAWKI, in any circumstances, there needs to be more than guns.
Some friends have their teen kids doing this kind of martial arts.

I've done judo, jiu Jitsu and ninjitsu. Only lasted as a ninja for a year. The ninja turtles on the alter freaked me out. When I got someone on the ground, I was always waiting for someone to yell, "Point!". Instead it was, "how you gonna finish him off?"
And I have those shoes.
Get them for yourself, and we'll be twins.
I love throwing and I love grappling. Fun times.
Now I'm old and guns are just easier.

I guess they are. For some reason my brain saw the edge as a case or cover. Maybe because I'm craving a steak and its still frozen.

I'm sure you would take me down in 2 seconds, @Amish Heart . We should find out.
You're wanting to carve as you crave, @Terri9630 .
