Guest Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Fuck the bat though. What I really want is a 7 iron. Again though, this conversation seems odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Why would you prefer a 7 iron? I'm thinking you have to be a lot more accurate with a 7 iron than a bat. You've got to hit the other guy with the blade of the club or it's not doing any damage. If you hit him with the shaft, there's potential the shaft bends and you've broken your weapon.

There was some traffic and a red light so he had to stop. 3-4 four of us get about 50 yards from his car, he leaps out reaches in his truck and takes out a baseball bat. He smiles and takes some taunting practice swings. We stop immediately and sort of put our hands in our pockets, whistle and shuffle away. One of our friends kept running to confront the dude like the dumbest person you can imagine and caught one of those swings. It grazed the side of his head. Split his head open. I took him to Centennial after a blaze session and he received 22 staples for his trouble. We give that guy shit about that to this day. If only he had a knife! is that the guy you shot with a shotgun blank? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 The knife counter attack strategy depends on an over-confident batter making a mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reo Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Don't know if this has been mentioned but I was talking to a friend of mine who use to train Army guys' self defense courses. He made a good point in that he said they straight up told their guys that in a knife fight, you're going to get stabbed. So they train them how to manipulate the weapon so that you get stabbed somewhere that's not vital. So if it's a bat vs knife fight. You get stabbed and he loses his hold on the knife b/c of it. Then you shake him off and it's a bat vs unarmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. I'm thinking having a knife in my shoulder is going to affect my ability to swing the bat. Stranger 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I think most watch too many movies, etc. and believe that's how this fight would go down. I'll just catch the bat under my arm or just stab me in the shoulder and then i'll beat you is pure nonsense for the 99.9% of people who aren't trained specialized fighters with lots of combat experience. This fight is a one hit fight. The first one to connect with their weapon wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's all sorts of maneuvers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You MIGHT still have the bat if you haven't dropped in pain or after the guy punched you after sticking the knife into your arm. Even then, how effective are you going to be swinging it at the guy when he's probably tackling you or throwing punches at a close distance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
