From the Bondi attack yesterday to global war, fitness saves your life. When people ask what I'm training for, I say to be harder to kill.
Survival of the fittest. Probably one of the most apt phrases. Look after your health so you can survive the unexpected.
Used to spend hours thinking about this stuff. I practiced one disarming move ten thousand times and more lol. Rather than becoming an expert at fighting against weapons I just made sure my one move was fast and fluid.
Even then it does not work every time, still get hit or stuck....but it eventually allowed me to get control of the body through a limb.
Something is better than nothing. As Miyagi said, you are better off being good at a little bit of Karate than so so with a lot.
I feel sorry for these people that see an armed maniac and freeze, been there many times, the only way around that is to get more experience of that shit and to understand how your mind and body fight flight works. I am big on not trying to be brave or calm all the time, embrace the fear, just have a trigger word / some hypnotic suggestion (when I froze my mind says "MOVE") no plan, no fancy movie stuff, just move even a finger and reconnect the circuits then BOOM you find you are scared but fast, scared but strong, scared but going for it.
And Failing that, is the fuck it mechanism, you are going to die, die well, make your children hear a story of how their father died a fighter so they sleep better at night.
