| If you have a confrontation with an armed person with bad intentions, you're going to get cut. Your only options really are 1. Run or 2. Attack first, relentlessly and with so much force that the other person doesn't have a chance to pull a blade on you....which I think is similar to the point you ... |

| Thanks for taking the time to write all that out! You don't know how reassuring your advice has been. I'm already in the midst of doing my pre-requisites for PT school. I'm taking anatomy right now. Part of the application is a certain number of hours of paid or volunteer experience in a clinical se... |

| In my (very) limited experience with Judo, it seems to be careless about keeping the practitioner away from a concealed knife. In general, I don't approach real-life self-defense as a fight (as in, an exchange of attacks resulting in a complete domination/submission of an opponent). No, I approach ... |

| I remember in college I went to a Q and A workshop with investment bankers thinking it was something I was interested in. After hearing what their workweek was like, I decided I would probably hate it. But if it floats your boat, I can't see how you wouldn't succeed. I think being an aspie would be ... |

| Wow, I can't thank you enough! This is the type of insight I was looking for! The negatives you listed are pretty much the ones I am concerned with, especially being social and making small talk, both of which I am terrible at. But I do feel I would be better at it in an environment I enjoy with peo... |

| I have a black belt in Kung Fu San Soo, which is very similar to Krav Maga, in that it has no kata and is based on simple effective strikes to vulnerable areas and movement. In college I took up Judo and Muay Thai. I also did quite a bit of Jiu-Jitsu and yang style Tai Chi. In my opinion, in a real ... |

| Hello all, I'm new to this site and I feel at home just reading the boards. Anyway, after college I got a job as a home inspector for the government. I got fired because I couldn't handle going to strangers' homes or answering the phones doing customer service. My people skills are so-so, but dealin... |
