Why I train

Yeah, I like to get in shape, but then something like this might happen, and you might want to be ready:

It's not what you do that matters, rather, it's how you do it that defines you.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Makes me wish all the good guys knew martial arts. :-)

The mission of my blog is to explore the connection between the skills learned in the dojo as a student of the martial arts and the skills that lead to a successful life. https://www.lifeskillsfromthedojo.com

He certainly did a number on his face! This is one of the many reasons as to why I chose to be a martial artist instead of a boy scout (to elaborate, I had a choice between the two).

Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.

Guns... very very very dangerous weapons to defend against. I only started getting gun techniques at 2nd kyu. Scary stuff because if you execute the move wrong, you can get yourself, or a bystander shot.

Forgive me, but what do gun techniques entail? I'd imagine that if the gun is drawn and they are close enough for you to do any technique, then you're already screwed unless you can talk them out of it. They'll be able to pull the trigger much faster than you'll ever be able to defend against it.

My gun technique is to hand over my phone, keys, purse.. whatever they want. I can always get another. Getting shot isn't worth it.

There is a few where you can turn the gun against them, but again... VERY DANGEROUS. Giving everything over is always the best bet. The only time I would try to defend against a gun is if I knew I was going to get shot no matter what.
