Hm.
I do think "street fighting" is something relatively insecure guys spend most of their time thinking about. Yeah.
But, as I stated several times, bro, I grew up with firearms, I support their ownership, and I'm aware that they exist.
I like to train. It's fun. I like the games. I like the struggle. Today I have a black eye, and I have an interview tomorrow. That's how I've been living - because I like the games. If you try to pick a fight with me, I'm going to tell you I can already see that I don't have much of a chance, and ask if I can buy you a drink. That's how I'm living it. And I'm a grinning dude as I walk around - Cause I'm loving it. Cause if I can somehow KEEP FROM hitting you in the face, when you're begging for it, I've scored a touchdown. The angels sing, the choirs dance, zeus shoots some lightning bolts up cupids ass.. It's a great old time.
And there is a question that has always existed in movies, in books, in bars and break rooms - can you have any chance if he has a gun?
For instance, we don't teach people knife techniques. We do teach some defensive options when you can't get away from someone with a knife, and you've already likely been stabbed at least once. A real life prison shanking, for the most part, where someone has hit you from behind at least once already, and you don't have a chance to run anymore.
But I don't really teach people to use knives. We'll do some stickfighting now and then. We do some boxing / clinch / groundfighting Etc. You've heard my ideas about how all this translates readily enough to knifing people, and no need to train it.. It's just not where we focus our energy. Call me naive and stupid or whatever - I'm fine with that. We have a good time.
But, all that said, I still have questions about whether I can knock a gun out of someone's hand - and when it's possible - and not at all possible - and maybe sometimes possible. I think that would be fun.
But I still don't sit around and think about street fights. That sounds like a fairly insecure thing to think about. That's all.
