Exactly. Whatev.
You let days go by in order for those who have had the most to say to make a point and not simply nay-say posts, and not the facts contained in them. Once that happens, everything gets quiet and you begin hearing crickets chirp.
Its amazing how much noise some are willing to make about a thing that they don't even know about but refuse to learn enough about it to discuss it with any degree of competence.
Being able to recite tenets like "awareness and avoidance" doesn't mean you understand a thing. Especially if you think that this topic had anything to do with
competing with muggers.
And just so you know Garland, "Osu" or "Oss" isn't just found in kyokushin.
Also Garland about your experience outside of playing tag ....

Thanks for the quote, Tant01.
And speaking of Tant01 ... just because I recognize when someone is bullsh!tting their way through a discussion and I call them on it doesn't make it a flame war. You challenged me to be more helpful, and that's exactly what I was doing by sharing this article. It looked like most of the 8 people who post here enjoyed discussing it, but only two came to show their ass.
Why not challenge those two to produce a recent article where someone tae-bo'd or wrestled three muggers with knives? Better yet, ask them to produce a story from a legitimate US newspaper where anyone from their system/school has ever been shown to actually defend themselves!
I've produced an article from a legitimate US paper that makes all the points that I have here. This story was broadcast nationwide as TTE and few others heard it in their states. There's no leap of faith here.
I'd love to see what they have to offer. I'm sure all eight of us would.
If not, then like Garland said "Whatev".
