Is it just me, or does it seem like those little scrawny b*stards would be easy to fight off and beat the piss out of? Ie, most of their victims are walking targets, honestly.

I think some people in life deserve to be preyed upon.

My martial arts trainer says that people have been telling him that open-hand combat is dead for his entire adult life. Why would anyone learn martial arts? Everyone has a gun, now, so you're never going to ever actually use those skills. Learning how to fight is a waste of time. It's obsolete.

The bodyguard business must be booming down there right now.

if you want to be trained for street level combat then you should take up muay thai/boxing/kickboxing and wrestling/grappling. leave that other stuff in the dojo

muay thai/boxing/kickboxing and wrestling/grappling

That's a pretty good summation of most fighters' training. "Street Level" just means taking the rules away.

There was one guy mugging people in broad daylight a couple days ago. The cops just rolled up and shot him. People think cops are trigger-happy in the US, go to Brazil, it's a whole new world down there. The cops have a reputation for shooting homeless people just to get rid of them.

This is why I am going to do Krav Maga.

Your best choice in any martial art is the highest quality instruction you can find, and all of that depends on where you happen to live.

Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is very similar to Krav Maga. It's the fighting style of the Samurais who defended Japan for 1,500 years, despite Japanese people being small in stature. Crotch-kicking, eye-gouging, and single digit manipulation was all part of it.
