You're right, the footage of that segment of the show was quite short. I believe the author showed more footage on the Hell's Angels and some private citizen with an automatic firearm shooting at an abandoned car frame. Can't really see how that type of blade fighting relates to our methods here. If you are not allowed to disarm, then you end up dodging and playing tag. That doesn't make sense.....unless its a sport, and not an "art". Kinda like Muay Thai where they inflict an ungodly amount of punishment on each other....but they don't stomp on the kneecap and try to end the fight. Thatıs a sport. I'm wondering if I said too much....:-) _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It can't be done from the program to date. Hope this helps Ray.
