re: After watching numerous fight videos lately, I’m convinced that 99% of men can’t fight.

"Fighting is trashy" is exactly what all these people in the videos said their entire life. And then someone walked up and beat them until they were out cold, and sometimes past that point regardless. You can sit there and say it's trashy, and it is, but that won't save you.

True. These days you can be minding your business and have a pack of feral teens attack you.

I still have a heavy and speed bag that I use to keep those muscles in shape.

Now that I think of it, the only situation that I might prefer fists over lethal force is if it was a teenager. I was dumb once and could or should have been shot on a few occasions. Luckily I lived long enough to turn it around.

I forget who said it but it is something that has always resonated with me:

A true passivist must be capable of extreme violence. It must be a choice not the default. In one is incapable of violence, they are not a passivist. They are a victim.

Amen. Of course the smartest thing to do is never put yourself in a situation where a roving pack of teens can jack you up. Situational awareness should be drilled into your head. But that’s not always possible. You could find yourself in some scary situations where a little self defense stuff could have prevented you from getting a whole new set of teeth.

You could be the best fighter on the planet but be knocked unconscious just as easily as me by a surprise blow to the back of the head. That's typically what happens these days.
