Cut off the metal bits and replace them with paracord pulls.

Works a treat for me. If you can't get your hands on paracord, shoelaces will do just fine.

Re: House break ins

Houses are just like any other target, though typically smaller and often occupied. Depending on your area security measures may vary, from alarms to dogs to firearms. All infiltration & stealth measures come into effect, from lockpicking to light & sound discipline. Always assume a house is occupie...

We specialise mostly in stealth here, but there are many overlapping disciplines that inevitably lead people here. I'm sure you'll find plenty to learn.

Re: Kcikboxing!

The thing with kickboxing is that it's a sporterised discipline, meaning you're gonna be playing by certain rules (illegal moves, no hits below the belt, etc). This can develop some nasty training scars if you're only ever going up against opponents playing by the same rules as you. Kickboxing defin...

Re: Literally a shadow

I think it's too dark to make a full set out of. However I think it would be great for breaking up the outline of the individual by going for a tigerstripe pattern of sorts using strips of that material. Or carrying a sash of it so you can turn into an amorphous blob whenever you like.

Letter openers aren't typically strong enough to use for anything other than opening letters.
