I just joined OGS and thus far, a great read and solid comments. I plan on being a regular here( if I don’t get chased off), as I have been living off-grid for the past 4 years in NV. I am a life long “tactical” trainer and given my age,I can finally say that. I am a passionate firearms instructor. I have always carried the mantra that continued training, good, real training will keep your situational awareness high and so too your expertise. Great comment “moman” and OGS!

In reply to B from CA.

Bruce lee was a paragon of his time, and learned from a paragon of a time before, as he was a pupil of Ip Man, ( there is a real life ip man BTW)

the real trick is situational awareness, this brings up your level on mental preparedness and has you in the right mindset from the get go.

you don’t NEED to be trained in HtH by someone, you do need to know basics of HtH combat, and sensitive spots, these fights are to live and survive, not win because of an ego. so there is no fair play, there is only taking out your agressor by any means necessary.

I like the video of the knife wielding attacker against the man with a gun. This is instructive in two ways. It shows how easily someone with a gun can be killed by an attacker wielding a knife.

A strong person could also attack a weaker person even without a knife, before the gun is fired.

Also, this video shows that it would be possible for someone who is fit, to use physical force against a potential perceived threat by a criminal or psycho with a gun, if you are very fast and well trained, with or without a knife.

Ideally, have a knife, or two, a gun, or two, and be trained like Bruce Lee. ahhhyaaak!!!!!
