Self Defense

It was just a thought, peeps. No interest = the world keeps on spinning.

Someone is going home. Someone isn't. That is the conclusion.

Never quoted a price and you could pay me cash.

Plus I'm not LE, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Most ladies have weapons stashed around their incalls. Bug zappers, knives, bats, brass knuckles, etc. Just enough pop to allow them to escape.

Nothing promotes "False sense of security" like taking a self defense class and then not following up with continued training.

It's like getting a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do


I prefer women go this route:

Disagree with not being able to defend against a gun.

There are situations involving firearms where not having one is a no-win, but just because someone brings a gun to a fight does not guarantee victory.

Like Lexus said, if you must use a gun, no one wins but someone can dramatically improve the odds of living.

If you choose to pack a firearm, get qualified training and practice. The learning curve is much shorter than martial arts training. You may want to take some self defense training but you must train to be confidant.

Get some good Mace or pepper spray. Buy a few. One for target practice. Hide the others in easy to access places. Spray and run. Remember, some drugs will negate the effect of pepper spray so screen, screen, screen.

IMO

The same with CHL "training" ... It's the same as taking driver's ed, passing the licensing test (including driving), and then pulling out onto a NASCAR track.

LOL nice word play. But I'm with you. As Lil Wayne said "I got Army Gunz" and I know how to use them for the most part.

I suspect many of them also have hidden cameras and voice recording devices. I know I've seen a few.

Yeah, I told a mexican to offer me 4 grand or I'd shoot him.
He did,
I didn't.
I told him that wasn't enough...

Never leave money in their pockets.

I am currently a 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and am working on getting my instructor certification in Krav Maga. If there's a desire, I'd be more than happy to offer lessons and, uh, "creative financing"

If not, I'd be more than happy to direct anyone to reputable establishments that could offer the same service with less creative financing.

To the OP,

Sorry this thread has gone sideways. If you really earned your belt, then you must be an honest man. I too was a student of many masters and I'll never forget the tenants of the dojang. Honor being so high. Here in Eccie, there is no such honor. It is a well of untamed desire that real world experiences don't exist, except in a drunk's imagination. It's essentially a boys locker room. The women here come and go like the wind. The ones who stay, might be able to kick your ass. Don't be fooled - you're in a world of smut. Tread lightly and carry a big bar of soap.

Shouldn't one's skills in the martial arts be like a concealed gun?

I started training with my when I was twelve. I was a brown belt when I was16. My school, at that time, wouldn't allow you to test for black until you were 18. The reason was because although children could attain the necessary skill, the lacked power. My Master said he didn't want his black belts getting their asses kicked by 22 year old blue belts that would just over power the young guys.

Now, apply that logic to a spinner with a black belt against a large male. Martial arts can make you a better fighter, but size and strength have their advantages. Now, you see why rudementary training in martial arts will more likely result in your ass kicking than you kicking ass.
