1. Assume the guy with the knife isn't proficient in martial arts (why else does he have a knife?).
2. Assume the guy isn't trained in the proper use of the knife (otherwise, you are just screwed anyway).
3. Find a makeshift parrying/entangling device, like a jacket, for quick protection/distraction, go for his knee, and get out as fast as you can. His focus will be on the knife, he thinks your focus will be on the knife. Hopefully you will only get one or two slashes.
4. ???
5. Profit!

The Rapier has only come back into use as a weapon in about the last ten years.
Gentlemen,

or
scenerio #2
The priate comes at the ninja with a cutlass and the ninja uses martial arts to fend him off!
Actually, I saw scenerio #2 in a movie once with Michael Keane in it, can't remember what it was called though. I think it was Michael Keane...

Under further consideration, I would seem that my attempt at wit has failed...*cutting belly with knife*
Pirates ftw. They say YARRR all the time and they work towards the procurement and enjoyment of booty.
Pirate wins, with his gold he can hire 10 ninja's
Conservation Of Ninjutsu wrecks that plan :chucks:Quote:
