I trained for 2 years and quit because the studio was like a cult and it took over my life. Unfortunately left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't miss those people that ran the studio at all. They were supposed to teach integrity but had no idea what it meant.

My family is military and law enforcement so I've been taught self defense all my life. I've never had a professional class or any martial arts though.

My parents required self-defense training when I was a teenager, and I'm glad they did, I've used it a few times against stupid men who thought I looked helpless.
My wife has taken capoeira for several year, but not all that seriously.

Max- as for the military they are taught hand to hand combat and I think police as well and as the saying goes all is fair in war which makes no war honorable but truth be told it is at times a fire arm is necessary but the need to use it does not remove the punk label in my book.

So all the police and military are punks and what about my 80 pound wife against a 200 pound man or me with a broken back. That is the problem with comments like that. bad people don't pick on people bigger than themselves or seam to be able to defend themselves.

Gun training plenty of and time on the range. Most karate is bull breaking a board along the grain is week and gives people a false sense of security a good training is jujitsu if you want to learn self defense.

True but even if I had a gun it does not really defend me in that case but if I had a bullet proof vest that would be another story.

We had to take a self defense class in junior high school. Never used it until a few years ago when a man jumped me on a running trail. It worked and I got away. He said he had a knife but I didn't see when he had both hands on me trying to drag me into the bushes.

I completely agree with you but your gunna lose your balls if someone pulls a gun on you and has enough smarts not to put the gun in your reach

I'm a black belt. It's total BS, though, its worthless. I might do a super powerful jump kick. By that time you shot me.

Some time, look at some interviews with serial rapists and killers. The person that gets away or lives is the person that fights back the most. Keep improving!

Most important though. Make sure they have 4 key ingredients: structure, emotion, knowledge & legacy. You want your kids in a positive, responsible environment(structure) around enthusiastic(emotion) educated educators(knowledge) with plans & preparation for future obstacles/opportunities(legacy).

Yep and the only reason i stoped is because i refused to register as a weapon which is required for a higher degrees in black belt training. That is also why i grew up think hand to hand combat is honorable and the use of fire-arm are for punks who have no balls.

I agree w/ Jonny. When picking a school for your children, get to know the place & people. If the instructor isnt someone you want your kids to be, walk away. Watch some classes, try 1 or 2 if they will let you, make sure they learn & train instead of run & play. A good teacher can make anything fun
