i've never posted on this section of the site mainly because i had know reason too. but a thought occured in my head when i friend of mine asked me my opinion on this street fighting survival fighting guide he brought after i read i had to give my honest opinion and that was it was at 70% bullsh!t(excuse my language) and i could only speak from my experience growing up in the south bronx. that it is **** near impossible to right a guide on how to accurately defend one self on the street in this day age. there are way to many variables and factors i'm not saying a capable fighter couldn't do it certainly. but to right a guide about it come on. case in point i remember as a kid(and this is a true but funny as hell story, at least i was laughing anyway) these two guys are fighting onbe was really big and the other was little and the little guy was getting his ass kicked in front of his kids and girlfriend or wife. next thing you know the wife comes at the big guy with a butcher knife that she must have pulled out of thin air and stabbed the guy right in his side. now tell me can a guide prepare you for that would you even see that coming(i know above i said it was funny to me, he man i was 13 and the way i looked at it it was funny, cause who the hell carries a butcher knife in the street like that) another time i saw this guy chasing this other guy with a chain saw any defense techinques for that. anyway i'm just writing this cause i was a bit fustrated cause if people start following that advice and not developing there own self defense techinques then their doomed. anyway just speaking my mind. thank you and sorry that you had to read my rant.
