Do you genuinely believe that you need to be a top black belt to man handle the average person stupid enough to operate on “don’t make me see red” logic? Do you genuinely believe that every instance of a martial artist winning its because their in the top 1 percent???
Or maybe it’s the fact that the average crook has next to no idea wtf their doing?
I've already mentioned the fact that those who survive have the coincidence of being professional, also the coincidence of being very high level. You don't seem to be heeding this, and I stand corrected. You will deflect, demean, and do just about anything to detract from my very valid point that MMA is
not a street safe martial art.
So, as I have proven that point, I'll move on.
You ever been jumped?
Its an incredibly common method of robbery in most places I've lived.
It's also an incredibly common method of crime in the whole world.
You are MMA man yes?
Go grab three random people, hell, make one of them a woman with a bat, have then run at you.
Wear a mask, put on gears, post it up.
I want to see how well you do.
Yes and I can list just as many idiots who’ve gotten themselves shot, stabbed, jumped, knocked out, hospitalized or immediately arrested for being stupid enough to try the wrong person. And again, ITS 2025 almost every single fighter carries a weapon now. Why? Well cuz the average person doesn’t take too kindly to assault or robbery.

no it doesn’t. It’s called basic self preservation. You don’t need the insanity of a manga character to have that kill someone in self defense. It’s so common a response that they made it a fuckin law.
This is so out of touch, I won't even comment on it. I hope your life continues to be as peaceful as it currently is and that you remain safe for a long time.
The fact you think the average person carries a self defense tool in their backpack and not their back pocket in this day and age is cartoonishly laughable. We live in a world where conceal and carry is legal in parts of the world. Where the fuck have you been?
'Parts of the world'
is where I've been.
Where getting a gun is the privilege of the criminal, and to have one is abundantly illegal unless you are very, very rich.
Even when I toured US for a while, not many had guns. More often than not you'd get an attempted shanking. Few fools has guns. Fewer victims had guns.
I'm guessing you have a concealed carry gun and license, yes?
buddy I live in America. Almost everyone with common sense(or trigger happy tendencies)is either strapped or travel in packs at night. You really seem to have this foolish mentality that the average person doesn’t understand the fact that the crime rate is far from zero.
You claim to have common sense, yet you hold and almost reverent adherence to your own training while demeaning and insulting all aspects of others based, not on your experience, but on generalizations. Common sense says don't speak on something you don't know for a fact.
You do not speak from experience, you speak from a podium of privilege.
No, I speak of the fact that the average person who goes into the world with the mentality that this chick carries is more likely going to be shot on the spot, arrested, sent to the hospital, or to a psych ward after taking out at most a couple of people stupid enough to approach a walking red flag. Not come out on top. Enjoy your dumbass Mcdojo Delusions. I’m done listening to another one of you idiots rant
...you really don't have experience, do you? Its pitiful, honestly. The real world is crazier than you think. You think individuals cornering you with knives or bats adhere to your 'common sense'? If 'common sense' was common, we'd have a drop in both crime and victims. If common sense was common we'd have less drink spikings, less DV, less nights spent slowly extracting a lightbulb from someone's colon, and less to no deaths from some idiot mixing monster and viagra.
In that way, Stories are more inclined to be more grounded than reality, because stories have to make sense.
You have no concept of what you speak of. No real experience. And it shows, because
you have no nuance. You speak of others' experiences and your own opinion as if it is gospel. You speak with clear condescension. That tells me what i need to know, tells everyone all they need to know, really.
You are the equivalent of some 150lb 6ft tall bloke on his couch looking at a UFC match and saying 'Why don't they just hit the jaw, they're hitting everywhere but the jaw man, I could do that', blissfully unaware of the mental constraints, context and stress innoculation required to even function in such an environment, much less thrive in it.
I don't rant, never have, never needed to. I educate. Those with the humility to empty their cup will learn. Those caught up in their own preconceptions will scorn, because what i speak of is different than the delusion in their head.
They will have a most visceral response, because i am indirectly attacking their sense of safety, and that is needed for a calm mind in day to day life.
Good luck, I hope you remain as you are.
