I read through the archives but didn't really find the answer to my question.
I read the following quote the other day "When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail." I realized this applies to me.
I have only recently got "serious" about self defense. I always kept a gun around the house but just recently got my CCW and started taking classes wherever I could find them. I am getting comfortable in this respect, but my unarmed skills are non-existant. Even a poorly trained street person could kick my butt if he got the jump on me.
I am a middle aged male in a little less than average shape. I have always been able to talk my way out of bad situations. But I realize that sooner or later my luck could run out.
What kind of training should I be looking for? Should I cross train in more than one skill at a time? If so what? I realize this late in life, my options are limited. No class is going to turn me into an "operator". I would just like to even the odds a little.
Your input is appreciated.
