[QUOTE="Moma, post: 634842, member: 815"] Has this happened to you for you to know for certain? Have you been in any encounters as a trained individual where you found the untrained individual who was trying to 'really hurt you' getting the better of you? Or are you speculating based on something you read from an article? Learning this skills are merely preparation. No rational individual really goes around seeking fights but it doesn't mean that anyone who gets into a physical altercation is a dumb ass. You cannot always run from a situation and your character really takes a hit if you KNOW that you cannot defend yourself. . Also, once you know how to take care of yourself, there is generally an aura that you give off that actually deters problems and filters out so that only the crazies want to tackle you. If your security detail only knows how to use a gun and doesn't bother with physical self defense tactics, he/she are useless. You get 8 rounds in a gun. It takes time to draw the weapon, time to fire etc. Will you always have your gun on you? In the bedroom? In the pool? Do you travel? Can you take the gun where you travel? Such thoughts are lazy and rather fearmongerish. Yes, there is always someone who will get into martial arts to be a 'badass' and think they can take on the world but that doesn't negate that the skillset is not a valuable one to have. [/QUOTE]
