OK so let's start with the staff. If you got a staff, use it like a staff. But these days, we don't wear our daggers in handy sheathes these days, so you might want to have a hand on your blade if TSHTF.
Now here is where it changes. In traditional pugilism, first of all the knife or dirk was like 10" long. And second, you were using it as inside-low-block because you had your sword on high-outside or low-inside block so not only did you want to present the thing, it was part of your defensive perimeter. Today in close-quarters, you have no defensive perimeter. What I recommend is stealth. If you think you can ward an opponent off by brandishing a knife, ok, try and play it but make the blade dissipate after that, make him wonder where it's at.
I would prefer, if I know CQ is about to go down, that they now know I have a blade atall, I'm going to wait until they close and make as many cuts as I can as fast as I can, I'll make them debilitating as I can but objective numero uno is always ESCAPE.
If a guy like me gets into a situation like that you know I am either in trouble or totally fucking up. The wise warrior sees conflict and avoids it before it happens.
So young racists, having told you all this, would you like a crack at a real-live mud person? And if we schedule correctly, his whole extended tribe? Because I can PM you my address and you can just surprise us any time! I think that would be fun and I talked to the people and they are down for some excitement.
Now we did briefly consider giving you a colour-coded map so that upon your entry into the camp you could figure out who the white people were or were not but we quickly decided that if you push a full-frontal, we will all be firing upon you so you will have to take us by stealth and man, that ain't gonna be easy either because we're pretty protective about each other and among ourselves so I'll leave it up to you how you want to try to ethnically cleanse this part of Arizona.
