First, id like to thank Jedi again for doing this for us. I know everyone really appreciates it, and as I said before, it really speaks for the good folks on here and how an item can be passed around in good faith.
Thanks again Bro, we all appreciate you:thumbup::thumbup:
Ok, The DVD.
The main instructor is straight from 80s porn, and has the moustache to prove it. Also, the all black 5.11 pants tucked INTO white socks, with tennis shoes was priceless. I think it would have been a smart move to incoperate some "byoww chica bow wow" background music.
--Instructor: "I seem to have chopped my pants off with my tomahawk"
--Female assistant:"Thats nooo problem"
Anyhow,The video starts off showing very basic movements that will be used later in the film as technique progresses. I really like how he stressed how a Hawk is used on 2 different planes as opposed to a knife, and the advantages this possesses.
I really didnt like the idea of the Vietnam style hawk. Seems like there is a lot of potential for cutting yourself open with the rear spike. Id pick a trail hawk, or norse style. If you did contact yourself, you would get a bruise, not a huge gash.
As for the movements, they seemed very effective to me. Basic, and quite lethal. Seems like a lot of them could be mastered in a short time with some devoted practice.
I really liked the section he did on how to defend against a Hawk. Lord knows you would be up shit creek if someone was to seperate you from your Hawk.
Lastly, I wish they would have spent more time showing some throwing techniques.
I really never have liked the idea of throwing my only weapon at the enemy, but nontheless, id like to know how.
Overall, its an entertaining video, and with as low profile as our sport is, its nice to see someone take the time to put some instructions together.
Thanks again FSC!!!
