I still want my nunchaku legalized! There’s variation in Asian American communities when it comes to gun ownership, says L.A. Times journalist Jeong Park. “After Monterey Park: The Impact of Gun Violence on our Communities” is an hourlong special that originally aired on “L.A. Times Today” on Spectrum News 1.

Guro Doug Marcaida demonstrates the uses of the karambit blade. The karambit is an exotic curved blade used in both Indonesian and Filipino martial arts. With "Asian Hate" just increasing (thanks Donald Trump), I highly recommend each person in the family having a karambit on hand for self defense. I had misplaced the karambit I bought from Walmart years ago. It had cost me $30 in 2017. I bought the Snake Eye black karambit off Amazon when I was in Los Angeles a few months ago since I was driving around at night all over LA. It only cost $14.99 and arrived the next day via Amazon Prime. With my recommendation, my nephew who attends UC Berkeley got the same Snake Eye karambit, but a blue one . It's totally legal, as Doug Marcaida mentions in the video below. Years ago, I was flagged by a security guard because the karambit was on my belt, hung by the belt clip. Today, I usually carry it in my pocket or backpack. But when I get out of the car at night, whether home or awa...

Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 10,000 incidents of physical violence or verbal harassment against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have been reported. Most of those incidents have taken place in public spaces such as city streets and businesses. That's led one man to help seniors in his community learn to defend themselves. Elaine Quijano reports.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two men and wounded another, was found not guilty of intentional homicide and four other felony charges in a deeply divisive case that fed a national debate over vigilantism, gun rights and the definition of self-defense. https://t.co/5MDh8OyguO pic.twitter.com/8kz9duMhyQ — The New York Times (@nytimes) November 19, 2021 The jury weighing Kyle Rittenhouse’s fate acquitted Rittenhouse on all counts after deliberating for nearly three and a half days. . @TheReidOut Blog: The jury’s decision in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was a dangerous endorsement of a violent vision. https://t.co/1dnswp4Nll — MSNBC (@MSNBC) November 19, 2021 Judge Schroeder blocked lawyers using "victim" in front of the jury to describe the people Kyle Rittenhouse killed or wounded. He approved describing them as "looters" and "rioters" and said a defense lawyer could "demonize them if he wants," according to @chicagotribune . pic.twitt...

Jay recommended the 599 FOX Karambit to me I've misplaced the karambit I bought a few years ago from Walmart. It's likely in one of my bags.  It only cost me around $30 back then. Nica's friend Jay studied Filipino Martial Arts for eight years so he's proficient in sticks and knives.  He saw my sticks a couple of weeks ago and we found a common ground.  I'd been meaning to get a new karambit, and he had a couple.  Bingo! So Jay recommended the Fox 599 EVO Black G10 Folding Karambit - LAWKS which has a different grip from his.  It's currently on sale from $229.99 to $199.99 .   Then there's the training karambit -  Fox 599 Orange G10 Training Karambit - Emerson Wave .  It's currently on sale, down from $149.99 to $119.99 . I checked YouTube for a review of the 599 Karambit and found the Doug Marcaida below.  If Marcaida uses it, it's good enough for me!

The Knife Life If you carry a knife for self defense, your choice of knife is extremely important. But if you don't know how to use that knife, it will be of little use to you. Martial Blade Concepts, or MBC, is a self defense system that teaches effective and legally defensible use of the knife. What is Martial Blade Concepts exactly? In this video I sit down with founder and head instructor Michael Janich to discuss what Martial Blade Concepts is, and why you should learn it.

Liu Xuliang sways menacingly as if spoiling for a fight after one too many drinks. But he is stone-cold sober and an expert in the Chinese martial art of drunken boxing. From Wikipedia: Drunken boxing  ( Chinese :  醉拳 ;  pinyin :  zuì quán ) is a general name for all  styles of Chinese martial arts  that imitate the movements of a  drunk  person.  It is an ancient style and its origins are mainly traced back to the  Buddhist  and  Daoist  sects. The Buddhist style is related to the  Shaolin temple  while the Daoist style is based on the Daoist tale of the drunken  Eight Immortals . Zui quan has the most unusual body movements among all  styles of Chinese martial arts . Hitting, grappling, locking, dodging,  feinting , ground and aerial fighting and all other sophisticated methods of combat are incorporated. I always loved watching this style Liu Xuliangan, an expert in several diffe...
