He told me that the movements to avoid getting cut by a sword are very applicable to modern street fighting if somebody is coming at you with a blunt weapon. Many of the movements for shorter weapons are very much the same as for longer ones, and therefore defense against them is very similar.<br /><br />I heard it said that Musashi, considered Japan's greatest swordsman, got bored of duels with swords and instead went up against swords with sticks. He bashed in quite a few skulls before he died of old age.Broken Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562569871940946226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540162652707616108.post-82013498456556410052011-11-10T15:26:14.227-05:002011-11-10T15:26:14.227-05:00i always thought the koga was a really cool concea...i always thought the koga was a really cool concealable ninja like tool for self defense. i have one of the S&W self defense pens which function about the same way. when all else fails the rear naked choke hold is always a good standby.Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540162652707616108.post-81944444949053895322011-11-10T12:41:37.610-05:002011-11-10T12:41:37.610-05:00I've thought about a collapsible baton as well...I've thought about a collapsible baton as well.

They claim that learning the stick will transfer to the knife very easily.<br /><br />That may or may not be true but a lot of folks think so.<br /><br />I got some experience in both (I'm no master) and I can see the commonalities but I don't think it's the same. Then again I carry a small collapsible baton (it carries my keys and I can use it as a flail) along with my gun and folding knives.<br /><br />As to the cane, it doesn't work at all like the smaller sticks but whenever I'm in an airport, I think that it would be really nice to have a big stick when on a plane.<br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
