Yes, the unarmed soldier overcame the larger armed wrestler who attacked him, he took the wrestlers weapon and used it to kill the wrestler. Just one more example of a sport mindset versus a reality mindset. As we so often see in the news the reality is that the sport mindset gets those who rely on it killed when sports and/or macho posturing/squabbling aren't involved.

That's very true, but there are high percentage and low percentage options. Wrestling, suplexing and pushing (all advocated by posters who claimed to have used them on this board as viable edged weapon defenses) or relying on the typical skills and reflexes honed in ring sports is about as low percentage as it gets in a knife encounter.

Yep, he had a history of being an aggressive jerk and picking on people smaller than him, he paid for it with his life, no charges were filed against the soldier due to the witnesses, cameras and the wrestlers history as a loudmouthed troublemaker.

Any time two people clash one will get the worst of it. Desperate and insecure theory-boys will try to read some universal truth into any anecdotes that support the ideas they are resting their fragile little egos upon and disregard any that do not.

At least you didn't reference poop in this post.


Here's your fine honed ring reaction. Is this what would happen if two guys jumped out with knives?

Does this:

Good Samaritan Tries To Stop Robbery / Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Southern Colorado, Breaking News, News, Weather, School Closings, Traffic from KKTV 11 News

mean that football is 'the answer' for self defense? Or does it mean that guy on that day in that situation acted and had the physical attributes necessary to throw the punk out of the store? Oh no, theory-boy will say he should have been killed, and would in fact prefer that he had so he could say, "See? Nothing works for self-defense but my glorious Program X."

A muay thai fighter gets himself killed so, "Seeeeeee? It doesn't 'work'!"
If a muay thai fighter happens to thwart a robbery or assault does that then prove that it works? Does the 'truth' go back and forth with each individual situation?

Wow you've had lots of time to concentrate on this thread huh? Must've been what you were working on so dilligently when asked some very straight forward questions elsewhere.

And you managed to not use a defecation adage again. Good you get a Jubisnack.

No more of these if you keep using that kind of language. And that's awfully close to your other fetish phrases.

Then you admit you haven't put a lot of effort or time into your responses here.

Thanks, and that's my wife's pet name for me sweetheart.

That is correct.

I believe that.

Btw, this:

Wrestler Saves The Day, Good Samaritan Aids Cop In Danger - CBS News

does not mean wrestling is the best way to handle an armed assailant, and that every other possible response would have been stupid and irresponsible. That would be an illogical thing to say (hint, hint).

Somebody had to alert him that there was a scuffle "Several feet away"?

Real observant there.

The assailant wasn't armed and had a cop hanging on him already.


Really doesn't compare to 2 guys coming out of the blue and stabbing you.

But you get points for trying.

There we go. Every anecdote that supports the theory-boy theory is irrefutable proof, and every anecdote that doesn't is a "yeah, but."

Utterly transparent.

And which arguments may those be, KOTF? Did I ever say anything WOULD work in a street situation? Or did I simply say that it was insanity to claim that:
"this article proves I can take a knife away from a mugger and fight off his friends after being stabbed because his instructor knows my instructor and we are OH-so-cool, and EVERYONE else is WRONG! And WRONG to DOUBT my WORD, because I am GOD! Stab me once, stab me twice, I have a manuever that makes me bulletproof!"...???



Really? really???

You know what the Alex Gong incident "proved"? Running after an armed carjacker is a bad idea. You know what Uke's article proved...? Sometimes the good guys get away. Same thing as what Jubaji's articles "prove".

But, whatever. Far be it from me to strip your delusions away.
