I've been using something to practive with,and i was just wondering if anybody has thought of this before.
When I first started practicing my aerials I just use to put tape on the blade,but I always hated taking it anywhere cause it looked like crap when i pulled it out.
So after i thought about it i came up with a good idea.Instead of taping the blade up for protectiom against accidental cuts I thought why not just protect my hands.
So I looked around my house and I found a baseball glove.I put it on and did a few twirls to see if I could still have the same control as without it,it worked like a charm.
As a matter of fact it even helps a little because it's made of a leather/suade so it grips the handles and prevents slippage.
I don't use it anymore because I feel confident enough in my skills that I don't need it,but whenever i'm trying out a new move or flip I throw it on.
BTW I cut the last two fingers off,the pinky and ring fingers,so I can still have a few fingers on the bali in case I do some moves with those last two fingers.
This part may sound a little silly but I wonder why nobody has come out with a bali glove,or maybe they have and i've never seen it.I mean anybody who practices with a bali is gonna get cut at one time or another,i'm surprised that one of the companies who manufacture bali's hasn't come up with the idea to put out a pratice glove.They used to make practice bali's,why not just make a bali glove,that way your actually practicing with the knife that you carry/use.Plus i'm sure it's alot cheaper then having to buy a practice knife.
OK i'm rambling now,but I still think it's a cool idea,anybody else think so?....peace
