empty hand, blade and stick would be wonderful. If I was a younger man would love to get involved with the dog brothers, but this old guy just hurts looking at those guys. I want to train for real situations but don't want my rear kicked more in class than what it would be exposed to on the street. Americans are funny. Many talk about realistic training but most don't want to bleed to train either.Where do you live and what do want to study? Open hand, sticks, knives, swords, all of the above?
