E-Jutsu
'Snatch the Palm out of my palm.' | |
This idea was inspired by one of my annotations to cellph defense. In the ever-advancing wired world, the problem of how to defend oneself becomes more complicated. The martial arts teach self-defense both with and without all sorts of ancient and oftentimes illegal weaponry. Trouble is, when you
really need to defend yourself, are you usually sporting a robe, a cloth belt, some throwing stars, and a set of nunchuku?
Probably not.
Chances are, you'll be walking around with a cell-phone, laptop, PDA, Wii, body-computer, etc. Therefore I propose a new variant of martial art that teaches defensive strategies using your electronic gizmos as offensive and defensive weapons, as well as pressure points and throwing techniques.
Boom-a-rang your flip-phone to knock the gun out of his hand!
Mash that PDA into your attacker's neck!
Utilize the mass and thin profile of your laptop to avoid his defenses and bash 'im where the sun doesn't shine!
The mental component of E-jutsu would pursue maintaining inner harmony inside our web-enabled and over-informed world.

I might actually find a use for that palm pilot... :) |

E-Jitsu... I like it... Sounds trendy and hip... new age sorts
of stuff... |

Don't forget about one of the other schools of technological self-defense: Kung-Fujitsu. |

Note: jitsu vs. jutsu. Ju-jitsu minimizes weaponry, whereas ninjutsu is what ninjas study. |

Thinking about it, I just figured out that if I insert the stylus for my Sony Clié NX60 backwards into the holder, the pointy end sticks out about four inches. Firmly grasping the body of the device, I could use it to stab somebody. Pulling the device away, the stylus would pull free of the PDA, and remain embedded about four inches deep in my adversary's abdomen, neck, or eye. |

Croissant, for giving me a good reason why they always sell PDA styli in packs of three... |

ROTFL What a bunch of nonsense. This is definitely worth a bun. |

I'm a martial arts instructor (Kempo-Ryu, Wales). My instructor has devised many sinister applications for mobile phones (especially with protruding aerials), pens, keys, and so on. That is not to say your idea has already been baked, as it is a specific system in itself, wheras these techniques have been integrated into our system. (+) |

Currently, the city of Edinburgh is shitting its collective tweed breeks, in advance of Sir Bob of Geldof's million man march on the capital, for the G8 protest/right-on musical-backslapping event planned for around 6th July. Small businesses are going to close and staff at large companies and firms are being advised either not to come in, or come in dressed down, so as not to mistaken for the black-hearted, tiny-african-baby-murdering capitalist scum they truly are. There is a very real fear that grubby dole bludging communists will attempt to storm the sandstone bastilles of unbridled commerce. |

Consequently, what is needed is a rigorous office block seige training programme, teaching besuited desk jockeys how to best use photocopiers, stationery, desks, chairs and all the mysterious chemicals of the office, to fight off the assaults. Obviosuly, this would have to involve training in the rudiments of E-Jutsu, but with an expanded repetoire of moves, to also include Cunninglinguist's Kempo-Ryu adaptations, along with some new heavy-appliance tactics. |

As you spend years conditioning your reflexes with your mobile-phone-weapon, it becomes obsolete. |

Retro idea to use flip phones as boomerang weapons among other things. [+] |

[doctorremulac3] I see you've bumped a dozen old ideas. May I suggest you curtail this activity to one or two per day and make up the difference in activity you wish to generate with interesting comments on original ideas and your own original ideas? |

It's Ray's birthday today. Just trying to gin up a little camaraderie here. |
|

Anyway, happy birthday Ray, going to a nice restaurant in Pebble Beach today to celebrate. Cheers! |

Thx doc. I'm now at the age where I have to go take a special drink and see one about the lower plumbing. Woohoo! |
