I posted this up in another forum as well, but would like your imput from here as well:
When i share self defense concepts with others, i always convey to them that a lot of men have been (or are presently) trained in some sort of physical conditioning and techniques that can be used against us... in particular, Wrestling and Football...
I assume that almost all high schools that has boys has a wrestling and football program where they learn how to take people down quick... so, these people are the most likely opponents to deal with in an empty hand situation...so, i guess, there are A LOT of people who have played Football and competed in Wrestling! and don't forget those YMCA and GOLDEN GLOVES BOXING GYMS!!!!!!
i also assume that in terms of weapons, the police, security and military personnel are the most likely "trained" people we'll face other than criminals of course... please check out this very interesting site to see the general outline of their stick work:
i'd like to ask everyone if you train "most likely" or "most common" situations in an integrated, or separated manner in relation to our beloved art
thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

p.s. i also heard/read (http://senshido.savi.ca/viewtopic.ph...48314dc77a0abe 56e12ff) that people in correctional facilities are watching UFC/PRIDE and are practicing those moves on each other... and the scary thing is, Criminals GET OUT!!!!!
