Looking at the martial arts, it's easy to see that people have always adapted the most readily available items (even if it's only their hands and feet) to the purpose of self-defense. Bearing this idea in mind, consider the prevalence of guns in this society and the fascination we on this site have with training for various situations. If it weren't guns--Lord, forbid!--then we'd fall back on knives or swords, etc.
What about yourselves?
How many of you are currently training or have been trained as martial artists? I don't care if you're a student right now or an instructor--please post.
A collegue of mine turned me onto handguns and told me how he turned my tae kwon do instructor onto training with handguns. In a nutshell, the conversation ran thus: "Do you consider yourself a martial artist?" "Yes." "You're obsolete. Your training is useful, but incomplete. Until you train yourself with a handgun, you'll remain incomplete."
Interesting point, I'd say. And I agree. Let me know who's supplemented the handgun training with martial arts and vice versa.
