Ahhh I gotcha Brunnen, and yeah I agree with you very much on that point too. Frankly, no it\'s not cool I know how to do all these things, it\'s sad, that this world has made it a necessity in my mind to learn how to defend myself with such prejudice. And I VERY much hope my knowledge goes unsed for good too, I really don\'t want to have to defend myself in that manner, or worse, get into CQB knife combat. With that, there is no real winner, one guy goes to the hospital for a very long time, and one guy goes to the morgue. If I had my qualms, I\'d very much like to stay out of either, but if pressed, I know I wouldn\'t be sent to the morgue.
I really do think you have a good point Brunnen, and one I preach all the time too. I\'ve had friends ask me to teach them techniques, I flat out refuse every time for that same reason. Because they\'re not ready to take it as deadly serious, they think it\'ll be \'neat\' to know how to do an 8 or 10 strike attack. Basically, I equate it to giving a kid a pack of matches, only a matter of time till something really bad happens.
