(JAMBIAS) authentic weapon

I am often asked what knife I carry and what the best knife for tactical use is. I also see a lot of FMA practitioners show extreme loyalty to one or more of their precious, decorated $50 sticks. There is a saying in our dialect of Italian that loosely translates as “the pasta I am eating right now is the best I ever had”. In my family, we often quote this phrase when we want to say that we are happy with what we have and grateful for it. I have practiced with old Wiffle Bats, broom…

We have all seen the movies and the videos of high flying, acrobatic athletes performing martial maneuvers that defy physics.

ContinuePassed down from generation to generation, hundreds of styles of martial arts exist today and are practiced by hundreds of thousands worldwide.
Each style has it's own strengths and individuality created by its founder and each style means something slightly different to each of its practitioners. Over time the style is shaped by infamous metaphorical river of time and the passage from one practitioner to the next. Styles ebb and flow and take on…
