Reddit mentions of Street Sword: Practical Use of the Long Blade for Self-Defense

Haha, I recognize one of these guys. Phil Elmore. He actually wrote a loltastic book about carrying a katana for self defence.

This isn't worth a whole post, but since you guys are combat sports enthusiasts I wanted to introduce you to the greatest martial artist alive today. His name is Phil Elmore, who I learned about from r/mallninjashit.

He has written several books on self defence, including classics such as Shorthand Empty Hand Expedient Stylized Fighting, another one about using every day carrying a Katana for self defense called Street Sword: Practical Use of the Long Blade for Self-Defense available on Amazon for 86 dollars. A third notable publication is one for a problem I'm sure we all faced before, How to use physical violence to defend yourself from homeless people.

his "shorthand empty hand" book is worth a gander because it reads like he made it up as he went along and has clearly never fought another human being, but he's thought about it a lot and he's undefeated in his own mind. It also has some hilarious picture references of his fighting styles.

He has a section on Ground Fighting that boils down to "don't do it ever because you can't fight multiple people at once." Which is a recurring theme with this guy, everywhere he go he seems to run into hordes of attackers (all armed, of course).

Another thing that grabbed my attention was the section of the book titled "I'll Make an Exception: Guidelines for Challenging Me To a Fight." For the low low price of $9,999 he will give you the honor of fighting him. Here's the catch:

>Once the fee has been accepted, I (as the challenged party) set any and all conditions. I may bring whatever weapons I wish. I may drive my car and use it as a weapon, if it suits me to do so. I may place on the opponent any restrictions I choose.

He also has an article on his website about how MMA isn't real self defense.

Phil Elmore is a martial arts savant and I think everyone here could learn a lot from him. I only learned about him today but I feel smarter and more enlightened about the martial arts than I was yesterday.
