I am wondering what is out there in terms of concealed carry and force on force training classes. Specifically as it relates to contact. I have done martial arts for a while and I am looking to improve my self defense now. I was focused on competitive BJJ (heavy emphasis on stand up judo/takedowns). But due to an injury, it is time for me to get out of the competitive side (injury was due lifting weights for heavyweight competition and not from an actual match).
So all that being said...I am curious if it is hard to find a school that wants full contact when they talk about force on force? If I were put in a scenario as a "bad guy" I would have no problems throwing someone down or throwing punches. I also wouldn't have an issue using my knowledge if I were the "good guy" and someone got in really tight with me and I felt I could put them down with my judo (bjj stand up is basically judo with wrestling mixed in if you have heavy emphasis on stand up). I am just wondering if anyone has trained in an environment that encourages the use of force on force and physical contact/sparring? I have seen a few videos of of some "scenarios," but the hands on part always seemed really tame. And if I am trying to get my gun out in a situation going south? I want my training to reflect as much violence as possible relating to that.
So? Are these common? Encouraged? Discouraged? Uncommon? Maybe some videos? And does anyone know of places in Florida that do this? Anywhere in North Central to Northwest Florida especially? Maybe even central? I would be happy to drive and take a seminar.
