Very impressive Grasshopper, you can move your feet up and down 10 times, to cover over 20’, and also strike a disabling blow, all before an attacker who has chosen to start the fight can move his arm down and up one time and pull his finger 3/4”.

I take everything back, you’re better than Chuck Norris. Are you sporting an “S” on your chest?

I’m curious why an attacker would have a holstered weapon though? The people shooting at me always pulled their unholstered weapons before they announced their intentions.

As for going to your dojo to collect my ass kicking, no thanks. I’ve got two torn up shoulders barely held together and a leg that is less than a full up round. I’ll just concede that someone in good physical condition will likely get the best of me, although I wouldn’t bet the farm on them getting away unscathed. That’s why I carry one in the chamber and never overestimate my capabilities, I can’t afford to assume physical superiority any more.

Can none of your dojo buddies side step your charge? Not even NFL tackles have a lot of luck with that side step. But I wish you the best, first that you won’t be attacked and second that you will be extremely successful if you are. That’s one instance where I’d hate to be proven right. Our difference of opinion aside, I’m sure you are a good man, and we need good men.

Shame ... you seem to be a pretty good guy. Why you want to have a verbal fight about a subject with someone who has over 40 years of experience in it. But insults aside ... Please research ... No offense but from your posts it is pretty obvious you have not the slightest idea of what you're talking about. My students practice by one holding a gun and saying "bang" when they see motion of the other student when they move to disarm. The average disarming student will have the gun pointed at the assailant before they can say "bang" using just basic techniques. Real bullets would strike the holder of the gun. Remember I said we only do this within arms length.

My point is and always was that I don't need one "in the pipe". By the time I would rack a round the knife guy would be close enough for me to "deal" with him lots quicker without my gun and his knife would be mine. Don't need to be Chuck Norris to do that ... any half way decent brown belt could do it. BTW my instructors were Bruce Lee's instructors (Wally Jay ... RIP) ... not Chuck Norris.
