[QUOTE="Thorgrim, post: 982496, member: 869"] I'm going to throw in my 2 cents. First off I think a few members here are a little misguided in what they feel is disparity of force. As far as my background goes, I spent some time at Mikey's gym boxing and wrestling. Mikey & Tom Jones being my main instructors. Later I started taking some shooting classes @ TDSA & w/ Tom Givens.... One of the best classes I took was a CQT class taught by Mike Brown & Brandon Bennett. That was an eye opener. After that I joined Mike's training group. I am not some billy bad-ass. Just a student & workout partner. I am probably bigger and stronger than 80% of the people here (not saying much); but I will tell you that even with some training, trying to fight two (or more) males that are committed in hurting you, it will be extremely likely that you get hurt badly or killed. I'd rather have more skill and a much higher level of conditioning to enhance my survival, than a little size. For the individuals that think a 2 on one isn't so bad, If you would like to get an idea of what you may encounter please take a CQT class. It will open your eyes; but it is only a start. You will find out how difficult weapons access & retention can be. I remember in my first CQT class. I was fighting against Eric Stacey and just when I had the upper hand his partner snatched my pistol from it's holster. Too bad for me. Most of the time in a CQT fight, you'll find going for your pistol is not good. I generally prefer my knife.....not a pocket folder. Try it you'll see. Another time I let Eric Stacey put a tight triangle on me. I asked him to. I was already a little winded. I tried to stack him, no luck. I was almost out within 5 seconds. A tight blood choke on an exhausted victim can put someone out fast. Space is your friend, get away if you can. I personally know 2 guys that have killed their victim with one punch, head trauma on pavement...and another that induced a coma. I'm not going to argue about the law or DA and I can't comment about the Brookside shooting. I don't know enough about the shooting. I carry a gun to protect my self/family. Shooting paper is easy. Handling violence is not. If you have physical limitation, work with what you've got. +1 for the comments from the guys that have done some of the work. They know what's up. Violent acts can take place anywhere. Be prepared....nuff said. [/QUOTE]
