Nothing disgusts me more than watching some idiot demonstrate a technique that they claim is self defense. It usually goes something like this.
"You look at someone's girlfriend or accidentally splash him with water and the guy comes after you and wants to kill you. You block the first punch, throw him to the ground, break his elbow and then stomp his face in and walk away."
They always create this fantasy that leaves you with no option but to use force and usually lethal force. The above example is lethal force and in most places this situation would be called murder.
Yes that's right, murder.
This isn't television people. It's not a game. It's real life with real consequences. For some reason people believe that if you aren't using a gun than you're not using lethal force. Not true.
You need to know the law, federal, state and local.
Once you know the law, you'll find that many martial arts techniques are more for combat and assassination than self defense.
