Re: Suprisingly decent article on self defence

because 99 times out of 100, they will. They are going to be hopped up on, if not actual narcotics, anticipation and nerves; swimming in soup of hormones and neurotransmitters all dedicated to minimizing pain and maximizing reactions. By the time your cut or bullet registers, assuming you can get the weapon out and used in time (which you probably can't), they are already on top of you and halfway through the deed (robbery, rape, or that horrify combi of the two), and your body will be pumping out terror hormones which will screw up your reactions as well as futzing your memory so chances are you'll have forgotten you even have a weapon.

Chances are, that your attacker will have done this before. If they are an adult they almost certainly have done this before, since most rape/robbers start learning this in their early teenage years, they'll know what to expect better than you do. They have muscle memory and higher pain tolerance on their side.

Wow. You're one of those sad critters that's one third informed, and two thirds defeatist.

By your reasoning, responsibly taught and meant-to-be-preventative self-defense methods are a total waste of time.

So how come they've saved so many lives? Mine included?

Also, anyone who knows that self-defense (both unarmed and armed) actually works, also knows that you can't just go on a 5-hour course and expect it to last the rest of your life. You keep at it.

Good self-defense courses (both unarmed and armed) deliberately focus on muscle memory; good self-defense instructors insist that you should come to class at least once a week *forever* (twice a week is better).

But the bottom line is, if everyone suddenly took on your mentality, the unnatural death-rate in just about every country would noticeably spike.
