A friend sent me this clip. I posted it in the General Self-Defense department, but actually, it would be interesting to get other 'Chunners reactions. On the one hand I thought it was sort of cool to see WC publicly getting this kind of recognition... and, WC is a terrific close-quarters method of empty-handed self-defense.
But, on the other hand, I've never thought of WC as the best choice for safely controlling someone like a drunk and unruly passenger without actually hurting them. Oh, sure, an advanced practitioner could pull that off, but in my school we train beginner-intermediates to "take out the threat". In other words, if you can't avoid, escape, or de-escalate, you end it. As in "with extreme prejudice." That, after all, is the last resort in "self-defense". And, I doubt if that's the kind of liability a corporation like and airline would want to take on. Any thoughts?
