Earlier, we wrote about an American martial art focused on emulating the gunplay and hand-to-hand grappling that was common during the era of the Wild West and the American frontier. This includes using weapons that would have been accurate to the time period for competition and well as self-defense. One of those weapons is the Winchester Model 1887 shotgun. According to the book America's Premier Gunmakers: Winchester by K. D. Kirkland, this particular gun was produced from eighteen eighty-seven to eighteen ninety-nine while a future upgraded version of the shotgun (called the Model 1901) was produced from the year nineteen o' one to nineteen twenty.

In the year 1912, an American named Andrew Chase Cunningham created a book. This book described an interesting martial art that had the same name as the book: The Cane as a Weapon. This martial art is a concise system of self-defense all about fighting off attackers by using a walking stick or umbrella as a weapon. Cunningham was a civil engineer with the United States Navy throughout the later part of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century, so he was not someone who knew nothing about martial arts or combat before he created his own.

I already wrote an article about how the state of Nevada and Las Vegas are turning slap fighting into an officially regulated sport that people can enjoy the same way they enjoy basketball, boxing, golf, and a bunch of other activities that are considered sports. Now, I get to write about another sport that is being recognized on the other side of America: pillow fighting! Pro pillow-fighting is now an officially organized sport in South Florida which allows people to swing pillows at each other as fiercely as possible while inside a regulation octagon.

There is a particular sport and martial art that goes by many names and is very popular in the United States of America. It is called cowboy action shooting, or CAS for short. Another acronym it is known by is SASS because the highest governing body of the sport is known as the Single Action Shooting Society. As described by The Gun Digest Book of Cowboy Action Shooting: Guns · Gear · Tactics. by John Taffin, CAS has people practicing it use firearms that would have been seen as typical of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. This includes weapons like single-action revolvers, lever-action rifles, double-barreled shotguns (also known as coach guns or messenger's guns during cowboy times), and pump-action shotguns with external hammers like the Winchester 1897.

Combat pistol shooting is a modern martial art that focuses on the use of a handgun as a defensive weapon. Like a lot of modern martial arts, it is practiced for self-defense, but it is also practiced in various different places as a sport in the form of practical shooting: a set of shoot sports that are governed in the United States by the United States Practical Shooting Association. British Commandos were some of the first to publish information on combat pistol shooting through a book called Shooting To Live With The One-Hand Gun. The book was published back in 1942 during the Second World War with the book being given out among combatants and to members of the civilian population. These techniques ended up getting adopted for training by the American Office of Strategic Services troops, helping US troops learn how to use their pistols in various different ways for self-defense.

There is now a new sport that is becoming official in a certain part of the United States of America called slap fighting. Yes, it is exactly like you would imagine the sport to be: an event where opponents smack each other back and forth until one of the opponents is knocked down or finally yields when they wish not to be slapped anymore. In the Silver State - ie. Nevada - and in the "Entertainment Capital of the World" Las Vegas, slap fighting is about to become a popular regulated sport. The Nevada State Atheltic Commission unanimously approved slap-fighting last Tuesday & because of this decision, the state has vetted slap-fighting to make sure it will have oversight, safety measures, and some proper rules to ensure this sport is being properly practiced in the first place - including medical personnel being on site just in case things get too furious.

Crossbows have an extensive history that takes up a decent chunk of humanity's archaeological history and spans various different continents around the world. I only mention this because crossbows, like the slingshot I talked about earlier, are one of the earliest ranged weapons humanity has used. It is even impressive that even after we invented weapons like guns and missiles and grenades, crossbows are still being used to this day. Some people use crossbows for hunting food. However, there are still some limited military operations that crossbows have even in our modern world. In Brazil, soldiers in certain jungle units are trained to use crossbows and some Chinese military units/police forces use crossbows with the Chinese government justifying its usage by saying a crossbow helps to stop people carrying explosives while reducing the risk of detonation.

There is a form of self-defense that formed as a form of fighting that was around back in the rural portions of the United States, mostly being popular during the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century. However, this form of fighting has been around since the 1730s in the southern colonies of what was then the British Empire. While it was never practiced as an organized sport - since it was designed more as a rough form of self-defense or street fighting instead of focusing on having safe moves for sporting events - there would be some scheduled fights or 'duels' that would happen between people practicing this particular fighting style.
