Re: Vibram Five Fingers
I know someone who runs 5k with them on. He swears it’s like running barefoot…in a good way of course.
If it wasn’t unhygienic, I would have asked him if I can try it on. I can see myself wearing one when training.
Re: Third party (family, not VIP!) protection
quote Don:IMO, the best way is to involve your significant others/family members in the preparation for SHTF incidents. Like preparing for fires, earthquakes, floods, other natural disasters, etc except taking it to another level. IMO, it’s best to make your significant others/family members a part of the Solution – e.g. get them trained so they can kick ass and take names too. If not to that extreme, how can they help you help them? E.g. being extra eyes for you, feeding you weapons/ammunition, calling for help while you’re dealing with attackers, knowing how to stay out of your way, throwing sharp objects at BGs, etc.Try to post more later…
I agree. Remember that in SHTF incidents, untrained family members can be a liability. Let’s say that there are 5 of you walking to your car and somebody pulls a knife on you, it will be like one on one between you and your attacker but you have 4 other people to defend.
The second part makes more sense because they can be easily taught. Teaching them to recognize potential improvised weapons can go a long way.
Re: Left Hook Punch
I used to have difficulties with the left hook. What I did was train on a right straight and left hook combo. It creates a good flow and it helps a lot. Now I can do the left hook without any problems.
I know it won’t work with everyone, but it worked for me.
Re: Nose or jaw?
I agree that there are better targets depending on the situation. But this thread is about picking between nose or jaw. With that being said, I’ll go for the jaw. I always believe in ending fights quickly. Get in, get out.
Re: Credit card fraud. What to do?
Call the bank and ask to speak to the disputes or fraud dept. They should help you. Tell your friend to have all information about what happened available and be clear in submitting information so it can be properly investigated.
But if they’re not helping, that’s weird. Did they give reasons why?
Re: Why Krav?
Why KM? It’s because I believe it’s one of the most practical that you can train for. It’s also battle-tested so it’s comforting to know that it will pull through whenever you need it.
