So, you fancy yourself a blade fighter?

Well, as ive previously posted im carrying a knife now. so i though, well i might as well try to learn to use it. so now im trying to learn blade fighting

i was originally going to learn it from my first sifu but he had to quit teaching. my dojo does not teach blade fighting. so now im trying to learn it solo which is not easy but its coming along. the way im doing it is taking my fma stick fighting stuff and transerfing it to blade. ive got a dull metal blade i use. as of now im doing drills and every now and then sparring with expo markers. to be honest i do feel alot more comfortable using the knife as a weapon after this small amount of training. the fma helped alot but what i have come up with now is a good regimine to keep getting better. i still feel though that i would only try to use this on someone if they were attacking someone else, if it were me id rather get my ass kicked and my money stolen and try to fight with my fist then pull my blade. i think there should be a veto on shoes.
