It's an explanation of the weaknesses of reverse grip with shortblades, done completely in poetic form.Wow, I honestly don't know how to interpret that video. Are you agreeing, being funny, sarcastic, or did you honestly not understand what I said.
The easiest way I can probably simplify what I was saying, without coming across as rude is this; there is a reason they say don't run with scissors.
I get what the video is, and what it's trying to say. I was just asking why the poster posted it; were they being sarcastic or were they trying to "prove me wrong".
The guy in the video shows you a lot of ways a reverse grip is bad and a proper grip good, but why doesn't he mention the negatives of a proper grip and the positives of a reverse grip. Throughout the video he is demonstrating THE major negetive a proper grip has and probably doesnt even realise it. Just to note, he specifically is talking about fighting. I never said fighting outright, I just said based on our anatomy a reverse grip is more ideal and practical.
Like I said, the easiest way I could probably say it without coming off as rude is, there is a reason they say don't run with scissors.

I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.
You said this specifically in response to a quote of mine where I stated:
...but then again, reverse grip is wholly unpractical for actual fighting >.>
I never stated "Reverse grip is bad" in the general sense. I stated specifically for fighting.
Now your stance is that you weren't talking about fighting...
Then why did you even post in the first place to try and dispute my point about reverse grip being unpractical for fighting?
Reverse grip and dual wielding are very poor techniques in actual combat, not because they cannot work, but because they're vastly inferior options that heavily limit your capabilities and most importantly, your own safety.
There are times when they are useful though, such as during grappling situations, a reverse grip is a lot easier to utilize than any of the standard grips (Such as Hammer or Handshake).
I can't. I'm sorry if it was misunderstood, but I wasn't trying to dispute your point. Just trying to show a "positive" about a reverse grip most don't realize.I never stated "Reverse grip is bad" in the general sense. I stated specifically for fighting.
