  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

My 25" Sirupati.

Vampire D, what's your MA background again? Hung Gar?

Uncle Bill, I just saw the Inside KF bando article, interesting.
 
Now I remember.

One source says the greek ( and before that macedonian* ) kopis was predated by the egyptian kopesh.

*Whooee is that spooky! Gurkas with khukuris in Kosovo, protecting ethnic albanian kosovars whose families have lived and fought in the same region since Phillip of Macedon, whose son Alexander's army used the kopis to maybe run some families up into Nepal to get away from the slaughter there. What is that about what goes around comes around, and with crooked knives yet!
 

Yeah, hung gar/ sothern shaolin. I know some will disagree but it's basically the same thing. As well as Kenpo, Ju Jitsu, Kendo(very, very little), boxing, and an old family sword style that a friend taught me. I usaully just condense this to kung fu and tai chi, those are what I've studied the most. It's getting to where I can't even remember what I've done anymore!

That's not such a bad thing. I don't even call myself an XYZ stylist or anything.
