Biblical Sources and Martial Arts

In addition to the previous Source from the Chumash pertaining to Shevet Gad I would like to mention a few more which are very interesting .THey show that Am Yisroel was Practicing a Martial Arts of their own. ****In Sefer SHOFTEM, Perek Gimel from Pasukim (tet-vuv to chuf- vuv). The BIBLICAL EVENT is about Ahud who plans to assasinate Aglon king of Moav.Ahud makes his own design of a sword inorder to do the work a short sword around 45-48 centemeters long.The sword was made Double Bladed (sharp on both sides)and the Blade seems to be wider then the handle.He was a lefty and kept his sword on the right hip under his cloths.The enemy was not aware of his left handed capabilities and searched for any weapons on his left side. Aglon the king also looked for any BULDGE coming from his cloths for any weapons and did not see any. With out going into detail here -all the details can be found in the source mentioned above explaining how he got into the enemy camp how he succeded in his mission with exact mention of how the sword was used and to what part of tne Anatomy. Also how he escaped.SEE THE MAFURSHIM -MATSUDAS DAVID,RASHI ,RALBAG *****Another interesting source is pertaining to the use of Sword Matches between warriors to see who was the Better swordsman This can be found in the following source.This talks about how Avner asked two youths soldiers to PLAY (match skills)in a match using REAL SWORDS.Both were killed and how this happened is also in the Mafurshim.(SHMUEL BET,PEREK BET..) FROM PASUKIM (YUD -DALID untill CHUF-DALID)This story is also pertaining to the fight between AVNER AND YOAV.It also talks about the use of the SPEAR and the exact part of the Anatomy which it was used in a FATAL blow MADE TO ASOEL A FRIEND OF YOAV.The details about the use of the spear can be found in the following MAFURSHIM-RADAK, MATSUDAS DAVIV RASHI. This historical fight is also reported in the TALMUD- MASECHET SANHEDRIN ,PEREK SIX (DAF MEM-TET) AMUD ALEF on the top of the page.The talmud discusses the Fatal blow into detail the Anatomy etc. The Gamorah in SANHEDRIN ,PEREK NINE -DAF PEY BET AMUD ALEF (BOTTOM) and AMUD BET (top)discusses how Pinchus when he went to assasinate Zimrie with a Spear, how he took the spear apart and hid the metal tip in his cloths and used the wooden part as a walking cane to be able to walk into the camp of ZIMRIE with out being noticible.He then put the spear together and the Talmud explains which part of the Anatomy was attacked fatally. **** Another interesting Talmud source is a MISHNA in SANHEDRIN perek nine DAF AYIN -VUV (amud bet).The Mishna talks about the use of simple material to cause fatal Blows to the Anatomy .see Rashi and Tosfos on the Mishna. Remember !! The History of the Jewish people and experiances are recorded for us to see. All we have to do is LEARN. Science as understood by Chazal at their time as well as TRUTHS about Nature given to us by our undercovering them in the Torah as well as the ancient knowledge of the Ancient world.Psychology medicine Sociology Philosophy War and Diplomacy.. EVERYTHING. SHIMON
