[QUOTE="Sigma, post: 874150, member: 9649"] Don't know if Oz is joking but I've got a story about a buddy that did kendo for years. So back in high school I had a buddy that was about 5'8, maybe 150lbs, so not a big guy by any means, and a really nice guy overall. Every time we would do some garage boxing (as young males are prone to do), he would get demolished by guys smaller than him. We never really gave him shit for it because he was a genuinely nice guy and we figured it was the pacifist in him. Anyway one weekend four of us, including Mr. Nice guy, all go out to a house party of a friend from a different school. After a few hours of drinking and partying some of the guys from the other school, realized that they outnumbered us and one of our guys insulted his honor or some nonsense. We were outnumbered 10 to 4 so I pretty much accepted the fact that we were getting an ass kicking. At that point I was just plotting revenge because I already knew how this was going to turn out. The beginning started out, pretty much what I expected; with the other guys talking shit and pushing us. The middle was mass chaos with everybody swinging and the back of my head getting heavily assaulted because I double legged a guy. The end was a surprise because Mr Nice Guy came in with a pool stick (there was a pool table in the house) and single handedly took out 5 guys. It was actually very impressive, the strikes were small and compact but his footwork kept everybody at a distance. Afterwards he told us that he would never have attacked people but did it because he was worried about the safety of the back of my head, or us, whatever. Anyway he said he would be very surprised if he couldn't take on a few guys, as long as he had some sort of stick on hand. From what I remember, his style wasn't big knockout swings like a samurai movie but more jabbing the pool cue towards the face and neck when someone moved in and whacking them on the side of the head as he moved away. It seemed to wear people out and frustrate them, which led to more rushing, which he would stop with a quick thrust to the face then rinse and repeat. I am by no means an expert but it was effective in that one experience I've had so, maybe there is something to it, maybe not. Just thought I'd share. [/QUOTE]
