Holy shit I believe this turns into the totally wrong way.
Thank you for your article mepatriot, I´ve been practicing martial arts for more than 10 years and still remember the words from my coach a famous Korean former Taekwondo vice-world champion who told all of his students (including all the 709ers from the MP´s here in my home region in Frankfurt/Hanau Germany) martial arts is a weapon but it´s not for fighting it´s for self defense and helping others who are in danger and not able to help them self’s. I learned a lot from this sensei and in first it was not to use any weapon because if you carry a weapon with you in most cases you will use it when your zone of comfort or your security will be affected, and that’s the point if you got a weapon you will use it somewhere somehow sometime, but you will use it.
If there is no weapon you can’t use one, sometimes it better to go away than to fight.
This is a real poor world where one human attacks another or various others for no special reason what is born in the possible victim, it’s a shame. And I guess the proud American nation has to start to think about their habits and their laws of self-defense because there is too much innocent children’s and other innocent people hurt, wounded or murdered with this firearms in the hands of silly people who had trouble with there own mind and seeks for attention.
