Haitian Machete Fencing

The machete is alright as an agricultural tool but as bladed weapons go, it is seriously limited. The problem is range of motion: a machete needs to be travelling in a wide arch with force to deliver a meaningful cut, and it’s virtually fucking useless for thrusting. Having said that, it can be used as a weapon. The storta (or falchion), the military version, has been used as a weapon in Europe since at least the 11th Century, and the machete is still used for hacking up and intimidating people in conflicts in Africa and Asia.

But most people, who claim to be experts in machete fighting, like this idiot don’t have a clue. If you tried doing that in a real machete fight and you would get hacked to bits. I’ve got a lot of respect for the Latin American art of esgrima criolla, but as for the Colombian machete fighting art of grima – well, it looks pretty fucking pathetic to me.

I know nothing about Haitian machete fencing as a style but this looks like it would work!

Threesomes

I love Dolche&Gabbana, particularly this season, but I hate there Time commercial.

Ménage à trois are nothing new but over the last ten years the mainstream media has been doing its level best to convince us they’re normal and that every girl is a little bisexual slut, who wants nothing more than to eat out another girl while being screwed by her boyfriend. It seems to be growing in social acceptability too. I’ve been sexually propositioned by girls, who want to have sex with me while their boyfriends watch or join in, or for me to screw their boyfriend while they watch or join in… Ewwh!

But now, there seems to be a growing trend in the media towards trying to normalising threesomes involving two men and one girl. Sony obviously think there is nothing remotely inappropriate with Britney Spears, whose target audience is prepubescent girls, howling about double penetration. But since when has being roasted or double penetrated been anything but extremely whorish?

Tamunangue

The Tamunangue dance uses techniques from the Venezuelan stick and knife fighting art known as garrote or juego de palos. It’s not just practised by men it’s also practised by women.
