Don’t be mugged down a dark Kronos alley by an unscrupulous Romulan!

You need a way to defend yourself against shady characters, and those who wouldn’t fight you in a face to face battle. There are 4 keys to this:

#1. Walk with confidence
When a would be attacker sees you walking around like a man, they will not wish to engage, since they are not one themselves. If they were as confident in themselves as you are, they wouldn’t need to attack you in such a way.

#2. Be prepared to defend yourself
Get some training, learn your favorite Klingon fighting style. Also a small weapon that can be carried on yourself is a must in case your attackers are armed.

#3. Go with someone else

Shown here is Phoenix Blade (similar to Daqtagh)

It is hard for attackers to contain more then one person. Especially if they are Klingon warriors. So it can be a good idea to get another Klingon to go with, when you go down shady alleys.

#4. If you are attacked…
Make sure they regret it.

The solution goes like this…

#1. Walk with confidence solution:
This results from a couple things. Feeling good about yourself is the big one. If you walk down a dark alley and see that shady character, and you have a way to defend yourself, you may also project a confidence that they won’t want to mess with. So feel good about yourself and have a way to defend yourself.

#2. Be prepared to defend yourself solution:
If you decide to learn a Klingon martial arts…great! There are also weapons available, a good choice may be the Daqtagh, it is the traditional small Klingon blade you have seen before. Used for close in battles, easily concealable. The most standout feature is the two small blades that pop-out from the sides of the Daqtagh. If that shady person sees this blade, they will remember it for a long time. Don’t be jumped by dishonorable Romulans without one.

#3. Go with someone else solution:
Make some Klingon friends, join some social clubs. Facebook is a great way for Klingons to connect as well.

#4. If you are attacked…solution
Yeah, the Daqtagh does a good job of making sure the shady person regrets it.

What we have learned…
Learn some Klingon martial arts, get some Klingon friends or get a Daqtagh! There are several Klingon weapons available online, if you decide to buy a Klingon weapon, make sure to read this article first:

Worf showing Gowron who the better warrior is

Klingon weapons are used by the humanoid race called Klingons who feature in the popular Star Trek series. Klingons were first introduced into the Star Trek universe during the episode Errand of Mercy. A
humanoid race, they are the main antagonists in Star Trek: The Original Series, later to become the allies of the United Federation of Planets.
Klingon battles are sacred affairs and much ceremony is involved. As such, their Klingon weapons are held in high regard and their weaponry has evolved over time to more complicated forms.

The most traditional and one of the oldest forms of Klingon weapons without a doubt is the Bat’leth. A two handed sword, this weapon is an iconic item to the Klingon Empire, recognized throughout the world as a traditional Klingon weapon. The Klingon Bat’leth is made of a crescent shape with four pointed ends. Although it is not used in battle as much as it used to be, it is still ever present in ceremonies and rituals performed by the Klingon race.
The Mek’leth is another Klingon weapon and is very similar in appearance to the Bat’leth, however it represents more of a fighting knife than a sword. Usually a foot in length, this weapon is very intimidating indeed and is a regular weapon of choice in Klingon battles.
The D’k tahg is another very popular Klingon weapon, used as a concealed weapon as it is much smaller in comparison to the size of the formidable Mek’leth and Bat’leth. Aside from being a great weapon for
concealment, it is also a deadly throwing weapon. At the touch of a button, two additional blades pop out from the sides to accompany the main blade.
Another less well known Klingon weapons is the Jejtaj. It could be compared to modern day brass knuckles. Another ancient Klingon weapon is the Chonnaq although this weapon is archaic and pre-dates
most of the Klingon history books.
Klingon weapons make up a very important part of the Klingon tradition and culture. Seeing that battle is such a ceremonious event, you must choose your Klingon weapons carefully. See more articles Klingon Weapons Blog

Why honor is important for a Klingon

The Klingon culture is very traditional, with ties being formed by families and bloodlines. The Klingon society runs on rules built on honor. When you fight, you use honorable weapons such as the Bat’leth and Daqtagh. You challenge your opponent in an honorable way such as hitting slapping them with the back of your hand, you fight them face to face (not sneaking up to stab one in the back). A Klingon warrior doesn’t refuse a challenge, it would mean dishonor.

Tradition
The trials and ceromonies one goes through becoming a man, joining the elite warriors, even getting married. They are all done in a traditional honorable way. Bloodlines are important because they determine which ‘house’ a Klingon is with. Smaller houses join larger houses, but they must be careful to pick the right side. The houses that joined Duras in the Klingon civil war, ended up dying on the wrong side of honor.

How does one gain honor?
Winning glorious battles, beating great odds, killing more enemies. There are many ways to gain more honor. Worf gained and lost his honor many times through his life. One event he purposely lost his honor for the wealfare of the Empire, a very honorable deed indeed. A great way to go out in a blaze of glory and honor is to die in an honorable battle.

The dishonorable
Sneaky, plotting, planning, whispering in dark corners. Hiding their true intentions. Those that don’t keep their word are not honorable. Using financial means or trickery to dishonor another Klingon is also very unhonorable. A real warrior faces his opponent, states his claim and battles it out. Using an indirect method is much less honorable.

What we have learned from this
Be direct and face your opponent
If you are going to do, do it honorably
Win battles to increase your honor
Don’t side with Romulans (ok, so that is another article altogether)

The Death of A Klingon Warrior

There is much debate as to what happens to a Klingon when they die. The three biggest theories are:

Nothing – Dissapears into nothing

Stovokor/Underworld – A place sought by most honorable Klingons.

Heaven/Hell – The same locations humans are well aware of.

Let’s have a detailed look at each location and see how reasonable each one is.

Nothing – Fairly boring which isn’t suprising

If a Klingon dies and nothing happens to them, then that would be the end of it. All their acts, beliefs, faith would be for not – whether good or bad. Those that died in honorable ways did so for nothing. There was no point for them to go the extra Klingon mile to become non-existant.

Stovokor (Sto-Vo-Kor) / Gre’thor

If a Klingon dies, then they had better hope they were a warrior, the price of a dishonorable death would mean going to meet a beast called the Fek’ihr. He was shown as a hologram in an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation. No dishonorable Klingon would want to meet him, especially since most dishonorable Klingons are cowards to begin with. Stovokor is a much nicer sounding place with Kahless waiting to greet the warrior. A Klingon fights most of his life to be worthy of Stovokor. The real dilemma is whether it really exists or not.

Let’s take a look at Stovokor to see what we know about it. It is said that Kahless guards the halls of Stovokor, that to get in a Klingon warrior must die in battle, allow themselves to be killed by another Klingon or a relative can perform a deed to help get them in, such as Worf with Jadzia.

Heaven / Hell

The Klingons are a humanoid life form, in the same image as humans. It is logical that the same thing that created humans, also created Klingons. In The Next Generation, an alien species said they planted life all over the quadrant, including Klingons and humans. If that is really the case, then Stovokor is either a location ran by these beings, or it is a mythical place made up by Klingons. On the other hand, if these aliens did not plant life in the quadrant and it was created by God from human culture’s Bible. Then that would mean that Stovokor is also a place made up, and that the only way for Klingons to enter heaven is by believing in Jesus just like humans. There is a lot more data and proof as to the existance of all the events in the Bible, including Jesus, even outside sources who were not followers recorded these events.

Summary

You should look at all the facts and decide for yourself. I personally believe in the Heaven/Hell, there is so much evidence in the creation of the world to suggest that is the only logical sequence of events. A string of random events to shape such a spectacular universe that meets all our needs on a planet like earth for example, is uncomprehensibly amazing.
