Quick Monday Bullets: Told I look like a professional bodyguard


• I am not a professional martial artist, but a proficient amateur. 

• Excellent demonstration.

• The attacker (s) having a weapon, such as knife needs to be factored in. 

• I do not see much point in just training for a one versus one confrontation with no potential weapon. 

• Even with a defence at that speed, which I can do, an attacker with a knife can do tremendous damage.

• A weapons defence versus a knife, sharp weapon, or bat, for example, needs to considered. 

• A real life confrontation could take place on the 'street' or in a residence, both prime places to face a weapon.

• For a straight up, no weapons defence, I would focus mainly on neck up with strikes, such as elbows, punches and other hand strikes.

• Depending on the size and strength of the attacker, I would leave body shots to knees and perhaps, only when proficient, kicks.

• As noted on this website and on Russell Norman Murray, PhD, Facebook, I generally do a two-handed weapons defence.

• Of course, as noted in the previous posting, I will be quite fashionable when my gloves arrive from Texas.

• I was told I look like a professional bodyguard, recently. 

• I accept. 

• I was told I look good by a 22 year old, recently. 

• I accept.
