You'll Wish I Never Cut You

Recently eaten: more glutinous rice, sweet red bean cakes
Recent annoyance: individuals who do not enjoy the full glory of fall weather

I always like to keep up on my hand-to-hand combat knowledge in case I venture back to Columbie Heights or accidentally find myself in a daycare center. Back in ye olde days of chivalry and big metal suits, a slap in the face warranted a duel or at least some strongly worded illuminated manuscript to be sent to the offender's castle. These days we toss around insults like terms of endearment and an all-out rumble at the local bar is an everyday occurrence. In this post, just for today, you be a man, and I'll be a woman and we'll be co-people hearkening back to the days of stick-beatings and rapscallions.

Self-defence with a walking sick

Some techniques of note:
No. 2. An Effective Way to Defend Oneself with a Hooked Stick when Attacked by a Man Armed with an Ordinary Straight Stick.

No. 3. -- The Best Way to Disable a Man who Tries to Rush You, and get under your Guard, in order to Prevent You Hitting him with a Hooked Stick.

No. 8. -- One of the Best Ways to Meet a Direct Attack upon the Head with a very Heavy Stick when Armed with an Ordinary Stick.

No. 10. -- Example of a very Pretty Guard and Counter-blow when an Assailant Directs a Blow at your Head with a Stick.

There is no defense against Tony danza. You can only omentarily distract by asking, "Who's the Boss?"
