Wadoki Aikido<\/a>.<\/p>\nHe’s had some commenters that have clearly gone down the path of “I don’t need no fancy Jui-Jitsu, I’ve got a gun!”\u00a0 This has always been something that has puzzled me in the gun community.\u00a0 So many of us on the pro-gun side have fought hard to dispel the “magic talisman of death” belief that some anti-gunners clearly have, that it’s frustrating to run into the “magic talisman of protection” that some on our side have.<\/p>\n
I’m not saying that a martial artist can deflect or dodge bullets.\u00a0 A deployed gun is a hell of an advantage.\u00a0 Especially if there’s some distance between you and your foe.\u00a0 Of course, for several reasons, wandering around with a gun in your hand at all times is neither practical or a good idea.\u00a0 Hell, there’s the always ongoing debate about whether simply having one strapped to your hip wear others can see it is a good idea or not.\u00a0 This isn’t even taking into consideration the fact that there are many places where you’re not allowed to go strapped.<\/p>\n
I think it’s important to ask the question “if you’re already up close in personal and\/or being physically attacked\/grabbed\/whatever, what do you do?”\u00a0 Sure, “draw and shoot” works if you can manage it, but I can think of a lot of scenarios where that would be a difficult option to pull off.<\/p>\n
Remember that a gun is a tool, and martial arts is a bag full of tools.\u00a0 Don’t be the guy that says “I’ve got a hammer, I don’t need anything else.”<\/p>\n
*EDIT* Bah, I did something that I know annoys the heck out of me and forgot to check to see who actually wrote the post.\u00a0 It was ASM826, not Borepatch that made 2nd degree.\u00a0 I’ve fixed the post to reflect that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
