Maybe. That depends on the circumstances. He may be able to stop you from accessing the gun at all. He may be able to continue fighting after you wound him. It may be a situation that doesn't warrant lethal force.Best street fighter in the world cant stop a bullet as to dam old to fight here anymore.
I think you’re assuming you’ll see an attack coming. What if the person gets close before launching an attack?Best street fighter in the world cant stop a bullet as to dam old to fight here anymore.
Your spot on and agree.Maybe. That depends on the circumstances. He may be able to stop you from accessing the gun at all. He may be able to continue fighting after you wound him. It may be a situation that doesn't warrant lethal force.
There are any number of circumstances where going to guns isn't the best answer. In some situations trying to access the gun puts you at a disadvantage.
However, it is certainly the case that some people are not in a physical condition to train or to adequately defend themselves. Those people have fewer options. Unfortunately, having few options doesn't make the available options better.
I think there's a reason for that. Its probably not the reason you think.It’s 100 percent self defense, you’ll never see Krav in a mma cage.
I agree with the above. However, if you're making the choice, pick the one that will be practiced with real resistance.Becoming entangled was often a factor in citizens losing gun fights. Knowing enough grappling or striking to free yourself to access your weapon is a useful skill.
I would say worrying about what's best is roughly as pointless as worrying about which of the common duty calibers to carry. Especially in places that don't have a lot of options. If all you have access to is BJJ and BJJ is an 80% solution, does it matter if there's an 85% solution 50 miles away? No.
Teacher over art. However, I am a fan of BJJ and I recommend it without reservation.Becoming entangled was often a factor in citizens losing gun fights. Knowing enough grappling or striking to free yourself to access your weapon is a useful skill.

I would like to take Krav Maga but there isn't any that I know of around me. To mirror what someone up thread said; "if I had six months to prepare for a fight", I'd take up Krav Maga.Becoming entangled was often a factor in citizens losing gun fights.

We have some of that down here. I may have to look into it.Teacher over art. However, I am a fan of BJJ and I recommend it without reservation.
You are being nice. Krav Maga is usually talked about in the same manner as Systema. With Derision by those in the know. That being said, I am sure there is some that is beneficial.I think there's a reason for that. Its probably not the reason you think.
Some of the stuff is probably very useful and valid. Its only as useful as the ability to apply it with realistic resistance. Everything that is "too dangerous" to be included in competition is much more possible when the user has the base of positionsl awareness, timing, ability to deal with aggression, mindset, etc, etc that comes from live competition.
I have zero first-hand experience with Krav. Every video I’ve ever seen of it has been...questionable. I’d be open to hearing more from people who have actually trained in it.You are being nice.
