Thanks for the bump....so let me know then when you successfully krav maga Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel to death. Mexico needs your groin-kneeing skillz!
Sam can you explain how you can both show that self defense is BS (which I agree with) and be against guns? Literally I promise not to argue, I just want to know how that works in your mind. Is it all an act to keep the toys for yourself?
I didn't say self-defense was BS, I said it was BS to think that you could teach yourself to become a virtual Chuck Norris to the point where you would trust your life with it over other superior, more efficient options (not fighting/avoiding the situation, mace, gun etc) that don't take years of practice and training and are not as costly. At the risk of repeating myself, when a guy who is a professional fighter and who trains professional fighters at the highest level tells me that the best option in a fight is to not fight, I'm inclined to agree with him. In a gun-free world I guess you could argue that self-defense would be more useful? In a gun-using world, let's just say I wouldn't trust my life with my left low roundhouse to the thigh (which is actually not bad, really truly honestly seriously).
I think for females, some self defense techniques can hold off an attacker long enough to where help arrives or attacker feels that its not worth it. My brother's ex girlfriend was push into a car by an attacker and she struggled and held him off and had one of those personal self alarms that she turned on. The attacker gave up about 10 seconds into it and ran.
muy thai, just elbow the first guy, break his face, then take care of the others with some knees to the face, etc... if that doesn't work, wear really comfortable running shoes.
