Inspired by, and following on from the "Gunfight at the Mynydd Llandegai" thread, I thought it would be interesting if people wanted to share any personal experinces of using Karate.
Have you been able to use the developed confidence to "talk down" from a confrontation.
Have you ever needed to use your self defense skills for yourself or your family?
I personally have not, fortuneatly, but a few months ago, I was discussing with a close friend/former colleague, a long time practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu.
During his wifes works party, two xmas's ago, he talked a guy down twice. but unfortuneatly, had to restrain, then a few minutes later, had to do so more focibly.
Hopefully, our preparation will keep us away from trouble.........
