So your saying you don't like the Glock:D......just kidding, thanks for the info:)

Now I'm off to PACK my lunch, and I can't forget my Trusty Tupperware on my ankle:D

Haha! Like I said they have their uses-you just won't see me packing one. I like the older SIGs, Walther and alot of 1911 platforms, just could never get around the milk jug feel of the Glocks. They seem to be really popular among RAT lovers for some reason...
 
Well, I don't care for Glocks at all. Sure, they popularized polymer, but they are also getting long in the tooth with their "one size fits few" approach to pistol ergonomics. We're probably going to have to wait for Gaston to pass on before something is done about the blind spots in his vision of perfection.

I find Glocks to be misshapen and weird. How Jeff is a fan and also co-designs comfortable in the hand knives is something of a contradiction to me.;)

I was just messing with ya concerning Glock VS 1911, etc......:)

Actually, I don't put my trust in any one thing except myself, and what is comfortable and effective for me. That goes for Martial Arts, guns, knives, wives, etc etc.......;)............:D

To each his/her own:)













But Glock still rules!!!!
 
I am amazed that we finally found a thread that went 5 pages with Boats actually sticking to the topic. He's just a little touchy when it comes to Glocks and fighting junk. :D

I respectfully disagree. BJJ is a ring discipline. Its emphasis on purposely taking a fight to the ground is a tremendously dangerous one in the real world where the opponent might have friends on the scene to help him out.

Make no mistake, once on the ground, you have to have an idea of what to do when you get there, but in a real fight the ground is the last place you want to spend any time, let alone on purpose.

BJJ, and judo, ju-jitsu, wraslin' etc., by themselves are not a complete answer to unarmed self defense. You need some sort of striking ability while on your feet because you can better make out the developing larger situation, even if poorly, or break contact while on your feet. You can do neither while trying to pretzel someone. The first indication that the bad guy has friends could very well be a boot to your ribs while you were "winning" on the ground.

What's amusing to me is that most of the KOs on crowdog's video rely upon Muay Thai techniques. However, even MT needs a ground compliment that the art mostly lacks.

lol, your talking to a T.K.D, M.T and boxing practitioner( primarily striking. ) Those are all great sources imo and being that I have always been very flexible they click with me, so I do agree. If you re-read my post I just stated "bjj is a very good methodology as well."
I never once came close to saying it is the end all. Not flaming you here just attempting to insure you understand my position.
However one is going to end a threatening situation is up to the individual, but as for me I do it as quick as possible and play the percentages to my favor as much as I can. I have ended up on the ground with people and it is no more pleasant than stand up just different approaches utilized within regards to ending it.
As fore mentioned I use MT practices ALOT so the video was just to show MR Coffee some of this stuff in application, Nothing more.

this is all you need...LOL

(lol)
for real this dude is very good.
 
These types of threads almost always end up with everyone giving all sorts of advice on what they they believe is the correct way to do something, and almost always they are wrong since it is dependent on the situation...jeez...

Yeah, and some how I always feel like I need to defend my choices... silly as hell, unless of course the guy I disagree with is going to come here and fight the fight for me... :D
 
You simply asked for a comparison of styles and you ended up getting "___________ is the best if you are __________" Sort of like some of the silly-ass knife threads that get going on what the best knife would be to do _______.

Screw all the advice. In anything in life, I say go with what suits you. There is no best thing, unless of course it's a Glock :D
 
Well, I am not even a practitioner of my MA choices, my kids are, so there.:p

I'm a dinosaur in the making. Back to what I know.

Martial arts.

Too much said already. . . but juusssst a few more:

1. All boils down to needs vs. wants and then to personal preference.

2. Whatever you choose, WORK HARD AT IT!

3. Priority Tasking (preferred in this order): Mindset, Tactics, Skill, Gear/Weapon/Tool/Technique. You don't survive the mean streets by merely relying on "X" or "Y" technique or tool/gadget/weapon! You survive by trusting your own personal survival platform, the foundation of which is to be AWARE and AVOID unnecessary conflict.

4. Most of all, have fun doing it! If you find yourself dragging your feet for training, l suggest leaving the course ASAP.

(from someone who's done a lot of them since childhood)
 
On the other hand, upon further inspection...................Hey Boats!...........I am fairly sure I see a Glock hanging from her.........................Ahhhh, never mind:D
