Potential Upcoming European Vampire Hunt?
Share
So as we announced a little while ago Axis Martial Arts 軸武道 is going to do a European Tour in 2026 bringing what we do to a town near you!
Now my concept of Europe is big chapels, castles and mountains and more mountains and that got me thinking, Should we be packing garlic and crosses rather than Bokken?
Alexandra is half Romanian and if we have to go to Transylvania I don't want to get caught unprepared, that's not very Ninja like! They say there are Vampires in New Orleans and Europe is the home of the original Vampires so............
While I have never seen a Vampire and they are not a common foe of the Ninja historically, there is always the possibility and maybe we need a counter fang defence? Maybe a pepper spray style garlic bottle? Weaponised holy water in a Super Soaker? My training in the Bansenshukai never covered this we only did a one day course on countering Tengu and Kappa, I feel thoroughly unprepared for Vampires! And god don't even talk to me about Werewolves! I don't want to go there at all! Where do they even come from?! Who created Werewolves?! You have some morally ambiguous questions to answer buddy!
I think the 6 P's still apply here - Piss Poor Preparation Provides Poor Performance so a healthy cache of stakes, garlic and crosses may be needed, where do you even find you local cross specialist? Morrisons?
What has Alex got me into here?! I'm not sure even after 30 years of training in martial arts I am prepared for this!
Is there a Surviving A Vampire Attack Seminar (SAVA) I can book with Tom Edison Peña to be better prepared here?
I guess if I come back looking like Marilyn Manson you know what happened while I was away and I just became the newest character addition of Bloodlines 2. I guess being Blade wouldn't be all that bad, I could potentially be persuaded with the right weaponry.
I only saw a demon once and it scared the living shit out of me, to the point where I passed out from fear and woke up stunned! 🤣 I'm joking obviously for those of you dense enough to believe me, or am I. I heard trust in the one and only Tenacious D they will save us all! 🤣
Overall looking forward to exploring Europe and not getting bitten by any vampires just putting it out there beforehand. No immortals allowed at any of my seminars age limit is 16-65 years old, at 350 years old you are too old to train!
