PROTECT YOURSELF - some tips & techniques when out and about

[Lord R]

I currently train in Martial Arts. I have studied Aikido, Kali, sambo and tae kwon do. My mother also has taught me some Krav Maga. If my training fails me I always have a back up. I carry a Cz-75BD Compact Model.

OH my god Lord R...I think I need a new pair of shorts cuz that is SEXY!

But I think an Colt Anaconda would be much better for self defense...I mean its hard to fight if you dont have a torso haha

If you live in Florida you can easily obtain a Concealed Carry permit. You need to contact Department of Agriculture for all the required forms. It costs about 70$

It would probably better for a woman . Anyways, you can still defend yourself even if you are not that strong. In Aikido we were taught how to use someones own force against them.

Definitely...my friend trains over at Kmoc...(krav maga facility in california) they teach you how to move with opponents to through them off balance, or disrupt a punch

It is pretty harsh stuff. I watched the Krav Maga fight quest the other day(it is on youtube now). I am hopefully going to go train in systema this summer at their Summer Camp event. http://www.russianmartialart.com/

Self defense tactics do not work well for women even with such courses of use of body force; my ex was a self defensive instructor for the Academy--what good does that do me??? Know how to "lock & load" and how to be an expert shooter for target practice--generally revolvers work better for women then semi's. Yes, assuming they have a permit. Also shot guns work well at home!!! One shot is all you need & better make it count; otherwise, you may become the victim.

Why not just use a semi-auto shotgun?

Don't like semi's...too easy to not unload properly for me! Rather work a revolver (.38) any day since I have seen some of the best marksmen accidentally shoot a foot or hand through cleaning and not properly unloading. Much is in banned in NY.
