Interesting site! The links I posted have the full (strange) details though. ;)

Yeah, it is an incredible work, perhaps on par with www.x-entertainment.com in some respects, only that it hasn't been updated in well over a year. Bummer, really...

I like how the picture shows two respectable-looking gentlemen in hats and suits duking it out with sticks. :tlol:

Maybe I'm just weird, but I was amused. Cool links though. I wonder if it's Splinte-sanctioned? :trazz:

hmmm...I never saw anyone use an umbrella, but I guess it would work too...

Anyway, there was a guy that taught martial arts caning in my taekwondo dojang after hours. it's a legitimate weapon with actual hojandos and techniques.

think.....jo staff.

That looks like a mix from karate and modern fencing. I would rather compare it to hanbo, if I'm right the system of hanbo is more like infight and grappling.

Fencing with an umbrella is fun.

Too bad no one else in my closest environment understands that.

That's pretty cool. It reminds of the Stick dude who trained Matt Murdock as a kid.

*laughs* Oh god...when I first saw the title of this thread, my mind instantly screamed "MASTER SPLINTER!" But watching two respectible looking gentlemen duke it out with a walking stick is just as good. It sort of reminds me of Ju-Jitsu, when you can use your apponent's weapons against them. But back to this...I don't know where, but I've seen this before. I need to remember...
