Who would you pick?

well the point was to see what other styles people admire or find effective, Hence the part of "other than your own style". That alone would tell you it's not about which art is best.

if you found it derogatory, then perhaps you might want to grow in maturity department or add a sense of humor to your personality. I always find it amusing when people tell others to grow up, it's usually a sign of arrogance or self righteousness on thier part.*S

Ah Other Styles, then you assumed that everyone has Crossed Trained ????

As to the adding of the sense of humor. I am working on it.

As to growing up, NEVER and YOU CAN NOT MAKE ME! So There!

And, I find it amusing the number of Trolls that show and ask which art is the best, like this topic has not been discussed since the first time two opposing Cro-Magnum's meet and decided to have it out over territory.

Now as you replied with a further explanation to your post, this is good. Thank You.


As to Arrogance, I have never claimed to be great or the best or even ranked or better than most. I leave that for you and others to decide after you meet me and see who I move and or teach and or just drink a beer or lemonade with you.

As to self-rightousness, this would assume that I have some beliefs that I want everyone else to believe.

Well just so that you know here are my Beliefs.

MY Beliefs are mine, and not yours, I care not if you agree with them. I am the one who has to live with them. All, I ask is that do not make me listen too or follow your beliefs. Discuss them in a philosophical way over a drink of some kind no porblem.

I believe the ball is back in your court. (* Volley *)

Then you are the only one.

On a side note Ender. You have the BKF symbol as your avatar. Do you study as a BKF student?

 

[Seig]

Nobody picked Chiun or Remo Williams....

 

[KennethKu]

Someone with a UZI, AK47 or a StreetSweeper.

I'd like to comment on 2 things. First, to answer the main question--I'd pick the person that had the most practical fighting skill. As for the art, doesnt matter to me.

Now on to the second part. I often laugh when people say that they will get their gun. I havent seen too many people who own guns actually carrying them around with them on them. Yeah, it might be in the car, but what good is it going to do you there? Against mult. attackers, you better be a good shot and be able to shoot quickly, because if you can't you will most likely find yourself getting pounded by the rest of the group.

There are so many things to take into consideration, it amazes me as to how many people say they will just take out the gun and start shooting.

Although I generally agree, I feel the need to come to the aid of my fellow gun bunnies and to play devil's advocate. There are quite a few people around my parts carrying guns (legal or not) and you usually can't see the guns on them. That's the point of CONCEALED carry (and above average perception of your surroundings and the people around you).

On multiple attackers I tend to think that when one guy goes down in a spurt of blood the others tend to rethink thier position and the possible outcomes. This is only a factor when you are dealing with small groups (2-4), anymore than that and I agree that mob mentality starts to take over and then you are in trouble (unless you have a full auto assault rifle and even then its trouble, besides, who can actually hide a rifle on themselves). Still, I don't think I have seen many groups over 4 people walking around in standard situations (mall, business district streets, suburbs).

In support of MJS, I think that people take using guns far too lightly. The impact on personal pychology and legal issues get overlooked by machismo ("No one can stand up to me and my guns") and cold logic ("I'd just shoot'em"). I think this is more an issue with guns because they are distance killers and they allow peopl to kill with more physical ease. I know this isn't the firearms forum, but this is just my $0.02.

Yeah, but do you know how many attacks have been preempted by the show of a hand gun?

Most people do not realize that guns have been used in DETERRING attacks, with extreme success.

I would pick the Incredible Hulk, cause he's friggin' huge! And bullet-proof!

 

[KenpoTess]

I'd take the 'Hitmen of WV' the fearless 4 along with couple ex special forces friends

 

[Kroy]

One of my good friends grew up a street fighter (due to the crappy neighborhood he was raised in) with no martial art skills what-so-ever! And I would choose him any day for my back up, he's been there and know's what it is all about.:boxing:

 

[jfarnsworth]

I would still say the guy with the biggest set of marbles that is willing to stand there with you rather than head for the hills.

 

[Seig]

Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson or Mr. Gattling.

Yeah. That would just be a double funeral.
