Kubotan and How To Use It

[kilogulf59]

Many variables on the infamous groin kick/knee...the eyes are a much better and preferred target...

[JUSTIFIED]

I get the whole "don't fight fair" thing but honestly, some of the most common stuff that people act like will end the fight DOESN'T.

I've been kicked in the nuts more than a few times, mostly by accident. It sucks but you keep fighting.
I've had beer bottles busted on and bounced off my nogging. It sucks but you keep fighting.
I've had limbs popped. It sucks but you can keep fighting.

Don't expect the person to go "OK I had enough" and quit right after the "terrible" roshambo (kick in the nuts) you give him. To be honest, any time that sort of thing happened, I just fought harder. Even in training when it's been " Oh shoot! Sorry man" you usually just hold the submission a little longer after that or hit just a little harder ;)

I want you as a bodyguard if you can take that kind of punishment!...chuckle...

I guess when we're out and about in public or work in a place where certain weapons are not allowed we have to be careful about what we use. "Fair" will be the last thing on my mind. That's for Hollywood. I'm going to try to permantly drop my attacker with my first move. I'm not 20 anymore and doubt I'd last long in an out and out fight. Having said this, I've not been in many fights, and in a couple of those I managed to stop the person without hurting anything more than his pride. I've managed to sidestep most altercations by reasoning with the other "adult".

If the shtf and all the sudden it's teotwawki then all bets are off. I'll use the most effective weapon to protect my family no matter what it is. Adding to Grand's thoughts, the average Joe isn't geared to react like a SEAL incountry and I'm sure one of the biggest problems, besides not being competant with your weapon, is freezing up at a critical moment. That's where practice is important, and I am one that needs it.
