.Pride is a dangerous thing.
So am I to some over confident martial art student BG that wants to take my gun. GG's have no reason to worry.
Nuff said.
BTW, arent these forums wonderful?

Those that carry folding knives on their weakside need to carry a fixed blade.
That’s kinda my point exactly. In most of the demonstrations I’ve seen, this is not the case. The “bad guy” will do something like lunge with a knife, arm extended, elbow locked, and then freeze once contact has been made. I would very much like to see some demonstrations where an attacker is violently slashing (at full speed) and trying to maintain his attack; even after making contact with the other party.While your hands are busy trying to break the BG's trachea or nose, his will be doing the same thing to yours.
I'm not one of these "my hands are deadly weapons" guys, but if I am in a struggle I am going to try to land the most severe blow I can in order to get the attacker off of me and draw or retain my weapon. I don’t have the formal training that you obviously do, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try to defend myself.If you're so confident in your ability to injure or kill someone with your hands, why carry a gun? Like I said earlier, it's better to train as best as possible, than to come on here and spout off about something you obviously know little about.
I would like to see what they have to offer. I would also like to practice trying to retain a weapon during an attack.I'm not saying there aren't good techniques, just that all the ones I've seen tend to be defending against someone who is basically a prop and does not really violently attack or attempt to disarm. I've not seen any that look like what a real life situation would look like.
On that note I have actually been thinking about looking into some local schools to see if they offer any training geared toward this.
If you want to make that analogy, obviously you can’t put on bullet proof vests and practice a real shootout. You could theoretically put on gear and practice weapon retention or disarming techniques against someone actively trying to maintain an attack – with real striking and grappling. I haven’t seen this done, which is why I don't like the demonstrations I've seen – maybe “in your dojo” you do train like this.I've never been to a range where someone let me shoot at them while they were shooting at me. Target practice and shooting drills all lack the element of danger that a real life street attack does.
You never let the BG close enough to touch you or your weapon if you do you shouldn't be carrying.. Carry mace or something that won't kill you when it is turned on you
is anyone gonna throw out a weapons retention tip for the uninitiated or should i stop reading this thread now?
