Presumably, this is a response to me, as only two people have brought up overseas crime statistics in this thread, and one of them was clearly on your side of the argument. Plus, you specifically...

I will repost my response to this argument from a thread I responded to earlier today.



In short, I used to be precisely the type of person that ignored the gun laws because they were...

SEAL (or any military) is probably a bad example, in any case. My argument applies more to those who train in Krav and other NHB styles.

The real question is how much does that 'sports' mindset...

In fact, if you think about it, a highly experienced MMA fighter almost goes into a street fight with a disadvantage. He has trained extensively to fight a certain way, under certain rules, to...

Hence my earlier point(s) - because I can relate.

...or is what I said so laughably implausible that it's not worthy of response?

Heh, reading this thread takes me back to my university days. While I'm not going to get sucked into the debate, I will throw this in for the consideration of the feeding pit. It's a side issue to...

End of the day, they're all fully capable in a wide variety of fields, and kick ass at all types of operations that SF units will be called upon to perform. Having said that, due to the...

The really key issue here isn't that she did it (although also kinda wig-inducing) but the way that she told you about it. Obviously designed to bother you as much as possible. Ergo, she is a bitch,...

If we're only talking about taking one style, presumably with street self-defence in mind rather than competition, I'm going to throw Krav Maga into the argument. I'll probably get shouted down by...
