LOL...

Painless so far. But I don't think he is very good at it.

GC,

You're in desperation for a way out of your predicament.

It wouldn't matter what I write. You've postured yourself in a defensive position in which you're defending videos of no tactical value except for armchair commandos.

You're obviously reluctant to email Larry Vickers, and I can see why. Show us your considerable skills. Contact Mr. Vickers and set him straight. You're a trained killer. It should be an easy dojo outing for you

Writing from a position of actual knowledge born of professional training and experience, martial artists are clueless. They're good within controlled contests. They're just another victim when they assume they're gonna intimidate an authentic bad guy. Just about every martial artist I've ever met loved to pick fights with people whom they felt they could whip. I've never seen a black belt pick a fight with an outlaw biker who had no clue of what a dojo was.

Bruce Lee was an actor. Every single one of his "fight" scenes was choreographed.

Here's a true story: while I was in college, there was a wannabe tough guy who probably used to watch grasshopper playing a flute while walking barefoot across the American West, trippin' on peyote. A starting linebacker for the SF '49'ers (Other NFL players used to work out at my college's weight room. Every single one was studly and polite.) used to work out at my college's weight room during the off season. He was a self-confident stud who knew he didn't have to prove a thing to anyone. He was extremely quiet, polite, and, when asked, helpful. Young grasshopper thought he'd make a name for himself by picking a fight with SF linebacker. After all, grasshopper was a trained killer, and the linebacker (I remember his name) was merely a professional football player. The LB gave the trained killer every opportunity to rethink his planned exhibition of trained killer dancing. The moron was too stupid to figure out when he was accorded opportunity to bow out without painful consequences. He hopped into his trained killer stance. It was over inside of 10 seconds with the trained killer's blood all over the locker room shower area and not a mark on the professional LB . BTW, there might have been 15 pounds weight difference between the two. All witnesses knew trained killer started the fight, pro LB gave him every opportunity to walk away w/o pain, and LB merely defended himself from a martial artist who was stupid to believe in fantasies.

Martial arts is opium for armchair commandos.

Here's what I was taught: when a bad guy decides he ain't going along with the program, what you think you know is useless info, for it will become a street brawl. That's why professional law enforcement officers carry striking and gas weapons. The idea is to not allow anyone to get close enough to touch a professional. Don't let my training, expertise, and experience conflict with your fantasies. Go with your trained killer knowledge.

Now get to working on setting Larry Vickers straight. He's in desperate need of your considerable skills.

As for me, I don't have to prove a thing to you. I'm merely trying to prevent what you think you know from getting you into a predicament that will not turn out good for you.

Your videos were entertainment for the uninitiated.

The three most difficult words for trained killers to say, "I was wrong."

Let us know how your interaction with Larry turns out.


Here's one more attempt to help you out: authentic bad guys will never telegraph what they intend to do to you. You'll know their intentions after they've done it to you. That's the importance of recognizing cues of authentic bad guys. The ones remaining vertical are the wise. They know of the life-preserving importance of avoidance.

Anecdote:

Wannabe tough guy applied for a sworn position for a law enforcement agency about a year after the NFL LB cleaned his clock. He was not hired. LE background investigations are primarily designed to ID applicants who should not be cops, and trained killer was never a cop. My guess is he dropped out and worked at menial jobs. I had heard he was busted for trying to impersonate a law enforcement officer. I ran across him decades later. I felt sorry for him. He was no longer doing martial arts. He obviously lacked bubbles in his plumb line.

What? I was supposed to watch a video ?

think you are not going to get an answer.

this guy might be related to that guy from oklahoma that showed up awhile back. 1assassin was his handle. great dude.

I'm still trying to figure out the only two moving parts.

Obviously you haven't tried to keep the front and rear sights from moving, or you would know, Bill.
Next time I break down my 1911, I'm gonna leave a lot of those little bitty pieces and parts out; obviously they don't do nothin'.

Regards,

Good grief, Woody's back.

No Slim, it's just summertime on PM

"One you're locked eyes with a psychopathic murderer who'll reduce you to room temperature in a heartbeat, you'll never forget the look and feeling, neither being warm and fuzzy."

Especially if he is holding a model 19 with Winchester Silver Tips looking at you!

What a moron

W T H are you pontificating about? My "predicament" is trying to make some semblance of sense from your incoherent ramblings. First, did you not comprehend that I am NOT presenting, promoting or defending any particular tactic in the thread? The point was to cause us all to think about the scenario and how we would deal with that particular situation. To create a little dialogue along the self defense topic. You come along and give a completely different scenario and blather on about a bunch of nonsense that leads to nowhere.

Additionally, you are the only poster in this thread that claims to be a "trained killer." A "scientifically trained" one at that.

Finally, I'm still waiting for you to cite from Vickers book or better yet your own self aggrandizing resume the only two working parts of a semi auto handgun. Put up or shut up.

He doesn't seem to know much about Bruce Lee either.
