Close, but not quite on the mark, I've actually never seen FFU and my screen name is unrelated to that character. "Aka" is Japanese for "red", and as you've pointed out with that quote from the wiki, "madoushi" is Japanese for "magician". Akamadoushi is the Japanese name for a character class...
I put on my robe and wizard hat!
Good eye, I've been looking for a better sword belt for a long time but haven't managed to find one.
The belt loop is situated too high to make it easy to draw and sheath while on a belt, the clip puts it in a more comfortable position but isn't nearly as...
The mayans were pretty good at identifying weather patterns. They also liked to drink until they were too drunk to drink anymore and then consume more alcohol in enema form, so it's important to take their predictions with a grain of salt. As for mass-suicides, I don't really see a problem in...
I have more pics on my Photobucket Album, I decided to do a picture with each of my weapons (excluding knives and daggers) and there are 16 pics total. Sorry it took so long guys, I tried 3 separate times to upload them to Facebook and it never worked so I gave up and stuck them on Photobucket...
Pictures coming later today if I remember, something big came up after I promised pics and it slipped my mind, situation resolved and I'll make a note for tomorrow. Also, there's no standard of ownership for a katana...seriously, it's a freaking sword, you can buy those now. High carbon foded...
I did a google search for "Kentucky knife law" and a thread on this forum was high on the listing, the responses didn't answer all of my questions though. I read a couple of articles about knife laws before I decided to register, my only other impulse was to ask on Gaia but those people are...
The same could be said about a handgun; if the intention was to draw and use a weapon before your enemy who already has a weapon drawn could use it, there would be no such thing as a self defense weapon. It is primarily a deterrent, secondarily a means of disarming or eliminating a threat...
I have something of a natural talent, and I practice frequently to hone it into a precise skill. Stark contrast to my disability with ranged weaponry.
What I have always believed is that awareness is more useful in defense than any weapon, because to lack awareness makes a weapon useless...
Simple, the two party system. Democrats make money off of corn the way Republicans make money off of oil, to keep the raw materials usage in their favor they have to have some real power so they can intimidate the corporations into using their respective raw materials. It's all about money...
My knife handling has never been in question, and tactics I try to practice tactics frequently. Mindset, I'm not sure. What is the proper mindset when someone is prepared to take your life because they want to take something that's yours?
Neither. Right now I'm cycling between Diablo 2...
So it's fine if it's in plain sight, then?
It would certainly be an uphill battle in court, but the thought simply crossed my mind I'm still mulling over whether or not it's a good idea. Not so long ago I practiced for three hours a day every day for two years with various firearms; handguns...
For no lack of practice I've never been very capable with a firearm and in a life or death situation a gun wouldn't make me feel much safer. Instead, I carry a folding pocket knife for self-defense and general utility. I also own a katana, but it's a bit too big to be feasibly useful in most...
