So I'm watching a show that features a woman training in Judo for purposes of self defense as well as sport.
As depicted this is of no surprise to any ofher contemporaries and she even goes aboutman handling other men using her Judo knowledge to joint lock her BF's arm and such though in a playful sex way.
Anyway this got me to thinking why is it that people have no problem or second thoughts when you tell them you train or parctice self defense of some sort be it judo, boxing, tae-bo, whatever. But tell a person you train to shoot for sport or self defense and then it's all raised eyebrows (left) or talk of Mozambique (right). What is that all about? Why?
In OT threads of past folks will say that those of us who CCW are losers, retards, scared punks, etc. But then those same people in other threads will prattle on about UFC, BJJ, MMA,boxing, carrying of all manner of knives & design and even that infamously long thread about combat swords JDM vs. European and how either could be used today for self defense (?!). But again mention a gun or rifle and BOOM!!!, the tide turns.
To my mind I don't see much of an effective difference amongst them as they are all combatives and effective to one degree or another. The firearm, knife, hand, body, what have you.
So with all that said what do you all think or feel on the subject?
