[Moo] Next Asian Night: Asian Weaponry 2/9/2004, 06:30 PM

[pjdarby at comcast.net]

I will be there.  I can bring Sai, Nunchuks and escrima sticks if you like.  I can also bring edged knives that show the difference between slicing, stabing and hacking and how blade edges lend themselves or not to those processes.
