Most of what you are saying, I understand.
I can do no right, & that's fine.
Problem, I have is some things that I have said ,are taken out of context.

Yet, you make valid points in your argument,I salut you.

One day I hope to be as wise & as you.

Perhaps one day, you will honor us, & come to Canada.

I can't promise that my kalderitas will compare, but our beer is far better than the products of the USA.

As for FishMonger, all you are is a follower, I would feed you Balut.

Kobun , I am not a Sayoc Kali student , the Sayocs are friends to our system and ours to them , So when a ignorant person such as yourself starts writting about things they dont know anything about I tried to correct you and be polite whilst doing it , You unfortunately cannot take a hint , as for being a follower I will only say that you will have to explain to me how that works :confused: I have been very clear in saying I am not part of the Sayoc Kali organisation . Anyone who reads this thread will clearly see it was you who decided to start calling names and being insulting to those who have tried to help you out of the sea of jumbled logic you are drowning in , so to answer your question I think 2 knives is plenty but it has nothing to do with my morals or any other reason like that , its because I only have 2 hands . All the other topics you raised have been answered and as such I think we can put this topic to bed , and as for a feed of Balut I am ready whenever you like , I prefer duck over chicken . The only thing I will add to this is this , do your homework next time , its better to be silent and thought a fool , than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Jim ;)
 
This guys posts seem all to familiar in their tone... and the whole second language alibi... hmmm... probably not...

This whole thing reminds me of something... ahh... Matthew 7:6...

Yet is so hard to resist the banter...

1 Peter 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Titus 1:9-11 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, ...Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

When Jesus was confronted with the Devil he didn't converse with him... he said, "It Is Written" (heck even the Devil used that tactic in reply :) .

It's a late night and I am sorry if I went "Biblical"... I wish you a knowledge of the truth Kobun... As it pertains to your questions and a maturity in how to interact with others... especially those of other cultures since that seems to be your stated difficulty. I visited your board "The Defensive Edge"... pretty well layed out and your grasp of English seems perfectly fluent as most.

But more than anything realize that further communication is probably just from morbid curiosity and passing amusement from most of the people here I would guess. You obviosly have spent some time studying the Martial Arts so some of this stuff that has occured in this thread is actually a bit surprising.

And your actually a Chef? I remember learning how each knife has a specific purpose... That could also be used as a reason for carrying multiple blades for a Blade Specialist. Utility, Throwing, Backup... It is pretty clear what some good reasons are for carrying multiple blades when you see some of the stuff in action or really examine why you might need more than one and what benefits come from multiple blades.

Bahalana... Kobun
 
Ya know, I was digging a hole one day and after a long while I found I couldn't get out, ya know what I decided to do?




STOP DIGGING!




And good insight Long Shot, he does seem like Dem Pud.
 
Kamusta Ka....LMAO I about spit my cheerios on this one. Ahhh the mornings are never the same without some good witty banter from bladeforums. Take care all and have a great day!

I have stopped digging. I could have a million excuses on why the typos occured. One no one whould care, & ultimatelt, they were my fault. One of the actual reasons I like forums, is I get to write what I am thinking.

Often, due to the French in me, the reply's get shambled...

As I said, I understand the meaning of carrying multiple blades, some are used to feed the primary hand. Other blades meant to draw the target, into a different path. Two hands available, thus let's use them.

Biological responses of the body, once assaulted by a blade initiates the student to the grave circumstances of deploying the blade.

I was only asking how many blades are enough, out of curiousity (Sp).

Leaving the topic I promised to be more carefull, & thant's all I can due.

You visited my site, that's great. Thanks

As for being a Chef: I am an instructor, Red Seal Level.
You are correct, most knives are used for specific reasons, boning knife for deboning. Certain parts of the Chef knife are used for specific reasons, the tip for soft produce such as mushrooms. The heel for produce that has a bit more density, such as carrotts.

Yet on catering events, in which one of our contracts exceeded sixty thousand people, I have come to realise that bringing to much equipment become inpractical. Thus why I carry a small case with few multi purpose knives.

I guess thats how I should of phrased the whole thread. The praticality of carrying multiple blades on the street.

As for the tone, like I said...

Excellent and well said,

Being a Chef and a Knife enthusiast is cool as heck.

From many of your posts and looking at your forum "The Defensive Edge", it is clear that you hold a traditional view of Martial Arts in regards to Self-Defense. Having looked at those things I have a better understanding of where you are coming from and some of your views.

If you haven't already, you should read through some of the articles and the public forums regarding The Sayoc Fighting Method. Most questions you may have are answered there and it makes the "Mentality" behind the training crystal clear. You still may not agree with it... but at least you'll know the details.

Here is a good start:

Thanks for the links,
& kind words !
 
Funny...but i actually understood what Kobun was talking about.
"how much is too much blade to carry?"

i'm glad things turn out good. :D
 
one is enough i live in uk and it is jail if you are carrying a knife as it is classed as a concealed offensive weapon,if you only have one its the one you draw without thinking repetition until reflex its the pause that kills the grasshopper. ;)

Topic this morning: How many knives does one require to be safe? As a professor who trains Chefs, we carry a small briefcase which holds about three knives. I train various soldiers who in their jobs carry two knives. A bodyguard that I talk to on various occasions carries three.

I was re reading some sayoc kali history & saw a picture of guys carying four knives ontheir belt. One I have great respect for this style & of course these people would modify their carry tactics on the street. But how many knives are these guys carrying,& is it realistic in our modern society to carry such a great number of blades.

1) Every blade could carry a conceled weapon charge.
2)How practical would it be to carry more then two.
3)All blade all the time means that a less agressive response is almost impossible.Thus all responses are fatal,unless the style has some empty handed responses. But of what I have seen & read not many empty handed tecniques are present. Bladed at all times...

Not knocking it purpose--sayoc is meant for warfare--period. As I also train police officers in the fine arts, I warn them about styles such as Sayoc.I t just scares me that soo many people know this very effective art.

Sub question: How selective are the instructors in selecting students. It again scares the pantsof me that a 21 year old puff up ego is carrying five blades, armed with vital templates downloaded off the internet.

I carry one blade, I find that moraly,it is enough to protect myself.

I would see the need to carry more in warfare--but fortunatly for me in live in a place where the need is non existant.

One is enough where I live. And it's a utility knife for doing day-to-day things like opening packages and whatnot. Definitely need to check with local laws and attitudes of local LE on the subject.

I guesss one can justify carrying more if one is planning for war. ;)

Good idea...check if it is against the law to carry MORE than one legal spec knife at one time.

Attitudes of individual officers shouldn't dictate how you protect yourself.
Just as long as you are following the law. LEO's attitudes will always vary on a person to person basis.

If your life or your loved one's life depends on it,... "war" may be the only option. ;)
