Fiore anyone?

Post by JJ Shred »

From the HACA site:

<I>Given the tragic events of the past week, I think no one today can
again argue that martial arts or dagger fighting skills are
irrelevant in the "modern" age of firearms and push button war. Every
American, indeed, every civilized person in the free world must now
consider they can no longer be uninterested in the Art of War. We are
all now combatants. In the words of Nicholaes Petter in 1674, "Most
people do not seriously consider how they could secure themselves
against all manner of abuse or assault, as might be leveled against
them by evilhearted villains, eager for violence."</I>

True, indeed!

I've been having that recurring dream where I'm on a plane being hijacked and I save the day with various Fiore arm locks while stabbing my assailants with a salad fork Image

Okay, I'll wake up now.

Of course none of this would be necessary if the pilots of the plane had known what they were facing.

I read an article on CNN where they were talking about the various things that you can do with a commercial airplane. Basically, if you dont have your seat belt on the pilot can throw you all over the crew cabin.

Normally they try NOT to do this, of course, but in the future you might want to have your seat belt on...

Knives only worked THIS time, next time it'll be something different.
