Everyone is more or less at risk of experiencing violence during their life. This is especially true for minorities, and as leftists in today’s political climate. The risk of violence will undoubtedly increase as political climates change, so we must be ready to defend ourselves, our comrades, our family and friends, and our communities.

I practise Krav Maga (I know) and have a limited background in wrestling, Karate, and Judo. It would be great to hear everyone’s thoughts on strategies and tactics for self-defence so we can help each other become more prepared to face violent situations.

If there’s enough interest in the topic I think it would be a good idea to start a community for self-defence.

      That’s incredibly hard to read. Like, for real. I’m so sorry. Have you already asked for a generous discount from your sensei until you get back on your feet? Many teachers don’t want to lose a passionate student over money, and times are hard.

      That’s awesome, you definitely should get back into it! I trained karate for a couple semesters back in school. I didn’t really like doing the katas but it was a lot of fun otherwise.
