Hypothetically, there’s no immediate option to escape a person who has attacked you and is intent on causing you further harm. Do you think you would be able to fight back and create an opportunity to escape? Do you have a plan for if things go sideways and you end up on the ground with them raining blows down upon you? Can you fight to survive until your last breath?

    That’s good you’re honest with yourself about your abilities. Is that something you would like to be able to to do?

        Lmao I can relate! Have you considered taking any classes or teaching yourself? It’s possible to reach a relatively decent level of competancy with some consistent training.

            Awesome! Learning how to fight has been life-changing for me. I feel more confident in myself and my ability to handle stressful or threatening situations. Feel free to reach out if you need some direction!

              Do you think military training is good enough for learning self defense? Might do my 1 year in the people’s army of algeria and go back to being me.

                I’m not sure of their training program but as far as I’m aware soldiers are only taught basic hand-to-hand combat in most militaries, as most fighting occurs at a distance. I know some militaries have more training or clubs for those who want it though.

                I think it would definitely be beneficial, the only thing is it’s important to train consistently to keep your skills sharp. Muscle memory is lost over time. It has to be part of your system to be effective.
