Yeah, and they would be in the hospital after some of them had their faces married to the concrete a couple times.

You lost me on your reply......if you are saying that the physical aspect of self defense is always going to lead to injuries just because of how we train than you made a mistake. We teach children (character development, bullying, abduction safety, basic martial arts) things relevant to them and adults (personal protection, scenario based training, etc) the same. We work with many professional people and have the best safety equipment available and since I am the attacker, sparring partner and general overall punching bag for my students, I can control the contact and the results. If I missed the jist of your comments as sarcasm then I apologize in advance.

Brent,
That wasn't a reply to your post. I agree with and support what you do, and I do not question the professionalism of you or your staff. It was a reply to a troll's post that has since been deleted. This isn't one of the forums I moderate, so replying in opposition to his statement was the best I could do. He said something to the extent of 'the only way to train for self defense is to take everybody out back and have them go at it no rules and bareknuckle until someone wins. He's obviously wrong, and my post was in response to what he suggested. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

No problem....knowing that you had been to my aid on other post's I thought maybe I misunderstood. I think we talked about Richard Dimitri before or something like that. Thanks for watching out for me. Take care.
