Posted this last year, it is relevant to current discussions.
If you are like most American Patriots, you have never, ever faced a grown man who has trained to kill you. Make no mistake, there are men who mean to be Masters - YOUR Master - and they are sending forth their swarms RIGHT F'N NOW!
Can you not believe what your eyes show you every day in the headlines? Can you not believe what your ears transmit to your brain when you listen to abusive LEO or out-of-control Politicians when they speak?
THEY MEAN TO HAVE YOU BEND KNEE, GO TO PRISON, OR DIE.
So, you have no idea what it is like to take an elbow to your cheek? You have no idea what it is like to use your hip to nudge a Bad Person 3 inches from you so you can grab his throat and crush? You have never been slapped in your face as an adult by another male who intends to intimidate you? You've never taken a punch or kick that puts you on the ground, puking your guts out, and had to force yourself back to your feet and find a way to give it back?
LEARN!
I have been preaching for 3 years now: 6 months of serious Krav Maga will better prepare you for the coming Evil than any other martial art - and I know of what I speak. I am NOT a Krav guy. I have tangled with a serious Krav practitioner or two - and they are an f'n handful.
One thing you MUST understand - it is flesh and blood under that Kevlar coming at you, it is a MAN who probably is NOT ready for you to get close enough to grab his vest and sling him like a rag doll into a spin, he is probably not trained to stop your KA-BAR from opening his guts as you pass into his personal space. All of his training is designed to keep you OUT of his personal space - so fuck up his OODA loop and get close, get wet, until you are dead.
You and your Significant Other, if you are serious about living and dying as freemen and protecting whatever you have in life from Bad Men, you need to learn the Rifle, you need to learn the Pistol, You need to learn the Fighting Blade, and if possible, the 'hawk, and you need 6 months of hard Krav.
You may still die.
But it won't be on your knees.

Turn off the volume and watch.
When it's real, there are no rules.
6 months of serious Krav Maga work will prepare you better than 99% of the hordes who will come for your stuff. Other martial arts may be "better" - but none will make you a killer, faster.
Krav is woman friendly - it isn't about strength - it's about the will to live by breaking the other guy into pieces that no longer work according to UL design parameters.
Talk all you want. Blog until your fingers bleed. Daydream about your heroics.
When it is real, even the good guy gets bloody. Every time. Forget what you think you know about violence.
You'll be lucky to live through most encounters. Most often you'll have to settle for killing him and taking him with you...
Sorry if you aren't ready for that bit of reality.
