[QUOTE=KungFuBiker;1152788]In my not terribly humble opinion; regardless of of whether we are talking hand to hand, bladed, or firearms it comes down to attitude, experience and training. Someone whos only firearms qual is a CCP vs one someone who is (for example) unarmed but has been trained and has had actual combat experience the CCP is going to end up with his pistol stuffed into a private orifice.
I dont think it really matters even if youre at a Black Belt level. If youve never been in an actual fight and youre facing someone with scars on their knuckles and a nose thats been broke half a dozen times. Youre likely to have your ass handed to you.[/QUOTE]
Wow, way to inspire the troops there. Fight back much?
Let me guess, your MMA right? Don’t bother if you’ve never done it before for real, So how do you get that first experience?
Seriously, where does the ASSumption come from that the guy carrying the gun or knife has never been in an actual fight? This comes up so often in these forums and usually spoken by a MMA guy that thinks the only fights that ever happen are at sanctioned sporting events. :rolleyes:

The guy with experience ALWAYS WINS right?[/QUOTE]
Wow did I step on your toes or what? Dont be so sensitive.
I am not MMA. Seriously what MMA guy would call himself KungFuBiker. I am a student of the Traditional Chinese Martial Arts.
The point I guess I was trying (poorly I suppose) to make is that having a CCP or studying martial arts does not automatically make one into some kind of bad ass. A good combination of training and experience are required. Someone with experience, whos not afraid to hit or be hit, is going to have the advantage over one who has done nothing but train. And yes the reverse also may hold true, someone with extensive training could quite probably win out over a street brawler who has had no training at all.
As I said previously A COMBINATION OF TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE are what will win the fight, and I believe this would hold true whether armed or unarmed.

i think we can all agree on this. i would add that heart/bravery can be a deciding element to factor in there.
I guess you haven’t been around here long enough to read some of the sillyness that passes for knowledge/experience. Most of it coming from the TMA haters (read MMA nutriders). And yeah, it bugs me.
Ideas like ‘You can’t do something unless you’ve done it for real’, are crap. Am I supposed to practice shooting by shooting at real people? Don’t bother wasting time at the gun range just go down to the hood and get experience by robbing the corner drug dealer.
Seriously, it sounded to me like why bother trying to defend yourself unless you’ve actually been in armed combat. Not very incouraging.
Sorry, but I got nothing constructive from your posts. We all know the better trained/conditioned/experienced/bigger/stronger fighter has the edge in a fight. This has been done to death. I’d be more concerned with how to deal with such attackers/opponents.
Something constructive to share would be welcome. Saying a non-fighter would get his a$$ handed to him in the street by an experienced fighter is an insult to the intelligence of everyone here.
So now, what kind of bike you ride? Can’t really make it out in your avatar. Mine is a Suzuki Intruder VS1400, Jardine forward controls, Mustang seat, Vance & Hines exhaust.
It sounds to me like you think I should not bother posting anything unless I have reason to believe that you would find them worthwhile. (How in the hell would I know what you might find worthy?)
I couldn’t care less if you find my posts un-informative. I am after all just putting forth my opinion and quite frankly my opinion is worth, same as yours, exactly what it costs.
The bike was assembled by Custom MotorCycles of California (CMC). It has an S&S 88 cubic inch engine (1340 CC) mated to an Andrews Gears High Tranny.
recently there were several 14 year old little girls who mercilessly beat this other 14 year old little girl at a local train stop. this is some pretty good evidence that people generally have what it takes to take someone out. even little girls.
when it comes right down to it, and you are a human being in the middle of a violent episode, most of us have what it takes to finish someone, simply by being a human being.
i dont believe we are as far removed from the primitive as we would like to tell ourselves.
Nice bike but I’m grouchy today. I just don’t see a defeatist attitude as appropriote for a fight mentality. Gee why fight back if the guy is better than me.
I’ve had a couple of old school choppers. Coincidentially they were the same year and both raked/extended springers. I rode the 1972 Honda CB750 chopper from late 1970’s to the late 80’s. The other was a 1972 Ironhead Sportster a few years ago. I need to get back into a newer custom bike.

Where; anywhere, in my posts do you see a “defeatist attitude”? All I was saying (clearly I thought) is that training absent experience or experience absent training is not as good as a well rounded combination of both.
And yes full contact sparing does count as experience. Because you have traded punches and kicks with an actual adversary…Enough. I will belabor the point no more.

HALF TRUTH. HUMAN BEINGS are not natural fighters from the get go. there is the fight or flight syndrome. you won’t be handling any violent situation if you run away from it.
Dude! I have it on underneath.
Couldn’t wear the cape that day so I didn’t have my shrapnel protection, hence the kevlar fat suit. What can a poor billionaire crime fighter do?
