I wonder what their idea of self defense skills is. Most self defense training is a joke. Most martial arts are only effective in a controlled environment.

I guess i should watch the video.

Best self defense skill
1) running

2) shooting

True..

Don't let em get close enough to disarm you.

Only an absolute moron would do that

Like antifa

Well hey, most people are morons at best. Lol

Yeah I'm aware lol

Which is why I think it's probably going to happen but if you let it then you're too stupid to save

Also the whole disarming thing is a meme. It would take an extremely dumb, or hesitant person to do it to

Fair enough.

Whatever. I monologued

I shouldn't do that

Yeah bro, this isn't snl.. Lol

Nah, I'm just playing. You do you.

But goddamn some people make me cringe with the disarming thing

Most martial arts people I've met aren't that stupid. But some...

Okay, what do you mean? I'll admit my ignorance. I only know that "techniques" exist. I'm unaware of how effective they are in a real world scenario.

In the event where you need to use self defense, the vast majority of cases are not close enough to be able to disarm the person

You cannot close distance on someone with a gun in the vast majority of cases either

To effectively disarm someone in a self defense situation would be like winning the lottery

This ain't caveman days anymore.

Weaponry skills will be far more important

Yeah pretty much

Okay.

I don't mean to be the asshole

It's just true

I played Mario Kart Double Dash, I ain't scared.

I didn't think you were being an asshole.

Martial arts are still very useful though. Many robberies don't happen armed

I don't think you're an asshole, you're spot on.

But I'd still rather have a gun in every case

What's that meme about "Parry this", with the guy with the gun.

Lol

I will agree though that the truly effective martial arts lie in melee weapons training. Pugilism is effective but it's more for physical fitness.

Yeah I'd literally only take martial arts over a gun if I couldn't legally own a gun

I'm gonna boot up this Atari 2600 I found back here.

But at that point I'm just running
