Self Defence
Is weapon defences any good for self defence or are they just dodgy?
Is weapon defences any good for self defence or are they just dodgy? I have been told that they are not any good and the best thing to do is not try to defend but run!
Of course the best thing to do is get away if you can. You should never listen to anybody if they tell you to stay and try and fight somebody with a weapon. It could cost you your life, and no possession is worth that.
However, if you must fight for your life and the person has a weapon, some tactics are very good and some are very bad. The only way to know if the instructor knows what they are doing is to observe more than one. (Hint – if the technique takes a long time to execute or has awkward movements its bad.)
EDIT – To offer two situations that are different and showing when and where to do what I’ll say this…
When I was younger, I was at a friend’s house getting ready for a party when somebody came to the door. We were expecting company so I answered and was promptly yanked out onto the front porch held against the wall by my neck and had a gun to my chin. I COMPLIED with everything the gunman wanted, and am still here to talk about it.
Not too many years ago I was at a favorite pool hall, when a visiting thug (some real gang-banger) was in town. His sister was hit on by a moronic drunk who couldn’t tell if he was talking to a tree or a person. The thug from the ’305′ began beating the snot out of this person, who never fought back… not once. The entire time he kept apologizing. I tried verbally ending the attack, but that was not successful. So I grabbed the guy from smashing the other person’s head between the truck door and the door jam. He immediately turned around “N**** I’m from the 305, I’ll kill you” He then encroached repeating his line saying he was going to stab me. He reached his hand and I took him out. When he woke up he had no memory of what happened. His sister was all over the place, and explained what happened to him. He asked me why I hit him, and then started the same nonsense all over again. I got in my car and left as he was still dizzy from being unconscious.
