Do you think his training and comments are wrong? Would you doubt it if it came out of Chuck Norris' mouth? The main points are in most situations you wont get your gun, and if you actually manage to, there's a very good chance it will be taken off you, and where will that leave you? Dead. All over a wallet (for example)? |
Aussie and his Jujitsu school do not lie. I have not practiced Jujitsu but I hear it is similar to taekwondo, which I can speak about.
There's a bubble around you where martial arts are just inherently better than a gun. The motions to disarm a person holding a knife or a pistol are fast and simple. I've practiced with BB guns and magic marker; I have about an 80% survival rate on an opponent who is already holding and pointing their weapon, and I know a lot of people who are better at it than I am. I'm probably not going to believed but its the truth; I hardly ever fail this drill. Got my brother to use the BB gun once and he got mad when he was unable to pull the trigger faster than I could redirect the weapon at him. You can achieve similar results by owning a gun...if you're Billy the Kid.
Teach everybody taekwondo or jujitsu in school. Pass out free tasers if you insist on something with a trigger. If you believe this silly armament causes peace idea that'll work great.
