i just read a post about defending against a stab and it seems that those situations are rarely, if ever, brought up. I bought a book on krav maga(IDF hand to hand combat) after a few incidents that my girlfriend went through at work where the police told her they had more important things to worry about. I was pleasantly surprised with how simple it is to learn and its effectiveness and feel much more comfortable should she or i end up in a bad situation unarmed. i am wondering if anyone here has looked into or taken courses to defend themselves should they or their significant other be in a no carry zone, surprised by an armed assailant etc?
