Knife Practice in the Park VI

AUG/29/12 | ModernAgonistics
SuperJim wanted it, so he gets it: knife vs stick. Keep in mind, the stick-bearer can realistically only win by KO'ing his opponent with a strike to the head, or destroying/disarming the weapon hand. Not an easy feat, especially if the knifer wants blood and rushes.
