Blarg, Based on that, you want epee. Trust me. Aren't you on the slight side anyway? Epee favors the tall, thin and breadstick-shaped. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm basically on the slight side. I am almost 6'2" and people used to constantly ask me if I'm a marathon runner. Now I'm much thicker through the waist because I haven't been working out lately (the biz I'm in works the sh*t out of me and all I do is eat and sleep). But at my fighting weight and in somewhat decent condition I'm basically a somewhat loose ectomorph of over 200 pounds but whose bones are so small and thin he looks weaker than he is, and much, much lighter. People seriously guess my weight often as 20 pounds or more lighter -- built like a dang bird, wrists like a friggin chick despite exercising like a madman since I was 8 years old. Does epee allow one to attack the wrist and hand, then? I love the idea of closest weapon(in unarmed combat, the lead hand/leg) to nearest target(the outstretched hand/leg of the opponent). And do you get any points for attacking the knee or shin? Honestly they seem to me some of the smartest targets. Crippling someone or letting them bleed to death seems like an awesome way to fight, to me. I don't see any particular honor in killing them in one awesome, holy heart stab. I just want the mother dead, and like the idea of making getting anywhere in my space a dangerous and terrifying thing. |
