Just what the Internet needs, another blog!
Well in looking at what is going on in the “self defense” world I figured it was time to at least try to improve the signal to noise ratio a little bit.
What brought this on you ask?
I was looking at the photos from a “self defense” class that was held in central Florida. All I can say from looking at the posted pictures was “what a load of crap!” I can’t believe that someone would still be teaching such nonsense: “Escape from a front choke” , “Knife to the throat” and other such nonsense. Stuff sold at “traditional martial arts” dojos for the last three decades. Attackers are not one-handed idiots who will stand there and pose for you to try out your technique.
Just about everyone can fall to the ground in the fetal position and scream for help. It is possible to teach people worse techniques. This was the case here I am sure. People please don’t belive everyone with a web site and a long list of “credentials”!
