How much does it weigh? And the other important question. Do you know how to yield it properly? Do you go to fencing classes?

 

No I don't know how much it weighs exactaly. Hard to tell. I'm not about to be getting any awards for getting the most excercise. It is only the tiniest bit heavy for me right now. Inspiration to work out.

 

As yet I don't have a great deal of skill in weilding a blade of any sort. I've held off any serious practice previously because the cheap things I've bought before were all too blade heavy to really do anything with. Especially that really ornamental one. (I was going to post pictures of that at some point wasnt I? Have to remember that later. )

 

Algonquin College only picked up the General Intrests course "Chivalrous Sword Handling" after I stopped going there. ( Mother-*#C&^#VB^^V%5v37vn57_%^^%@#^$ )

Oh man! I remember that thing! I was so amazed it didn't fall over and kill the poor guy.

Not for medieval fencing!

I fight with swords like that every thursday!

 

That's pretty awesome! I never trained with a sword unfortunatly. When I used to take martial arts, I wielded a bo staff. But I used to use my staff to spar against others with shinais. Good times back in the day.

I do staff on tuesdays.

Geez Mad. Staff on Tuesdays, sword on Thursdays...when do you ever get the time in to visit the ol' shootin' range?

 

I also used to do a little work with the arnis canes. Those were fun. For some reason I preferred the blunt sticks to the sharp objects.

Quarterstaff on Tuesdays; Rapier on Wednesdays and Bastard Sword. I used to go to do rifle shooting but gave it up. Now i don't have the time. Once I have finished mastering swords i have to learn a hand-to-hand martial art. Maybe Krav-Maga. Then i shall be ready... (don't ask for what)

Then i shall be ready... (don't ask for what)

 

World War III?

No no no, if you want to learn a martial art, Wing Chun is the one for you!

Been studying it for a while now, is amazing.

 

I study under Master Anton Van Thomas.

No no no, if you want to learn a martial art, Wing Chun is the one for you!

I prefer "Wang Chung"

 

I think Mad is preparing for Thunder Dome

I'd think you people would find a way to Combine everything into one portable, easy-to-carry item.

 

I air soft... That doesn't really count as martial arts, does it?

A much needed update on news!

 

 

Say it ain't so!

hehe.. i was wondering the exact same thing Def.. i just never looked it up... crawfish are so delicious! (thats what we call 'em here in the south)... some people think they are nasty.. but they are pretty good.. except i dont "suck the head" the way some people do 'round here... Tex???... you dont... do you?...

Never got to try Caryfish. Is it like prawn?

 

Talking of prawn; here is a good old aussie saying:

Nothing gives you a technicolor yawn like a bad prawn.

.. except i dont "suck the head" the way some people do 'round here... Tex???... you dont... do you?...

Sorry JH, there's only one thing that I suck; but I don't want to get into the subject of a woman's body on a SW fan site

 

I didn't know what a Yabbie was, but from the context of the story and Krytos remarks, I inferred correctly

Sorry JH, there's only one thing that I suck; but I don't want to get into the subject of a woman's body on a SW fan site

 

Tex... you old codger... anyways... Tex... Do you eat crawfish?.. at all?...

And I thought you meant a Yowie

But Yowie's are primates If you find that in a lake lowered by drought, I bet it's not a pretty sight. And if you "throw it on the barbie" ... [insert barfing icon here] ...

What? It tastes like chicken.

hehehehehehehe... i found this video on myspace... hehe.. i love robot chicken..
