With the exception of a couple of white belts, most of the time parents complained because we weren't hard enough on their kids. Those white belts with the helicopter moms never made it past the 2-week trial.
Yeah I got chewed out, part of the reason I left.
That’s not really how studies/research works.
Actually, that is quite precisely how research works.
I must be confused on your position. Are you suggesting people naturally apply too much or just the right amount of aggression in a self-defense situation. As opposed to people typically under responding to violence against them?
There are lots of people who are both.
Neither. I am saying that if you present something as fact, you really ought to be prepared to support it with something other than "because I said so". Opinions are fine, and you are certainly entitled to hold whatever opinions you like. Facts, however, require support.
Careful, Dog.
Okay. I'm not really interested in proving much here. Sharing my thoughts and opinions, yes for sure. But I have been on here long enough to know people are going believe what they want.
Is this a jab at me?
That depends on whether you're really an ex SWAT commander.
Not a commander.
For what it’s worth, I believe you. I just don’t think it’s actually a healthy thing for most people to want to overcome. Even cops.
That's Wolf of Snow Hollow territory.
Again, I don't watch your videos. Is it political?
"Committed to being there" is a good way of describing it, verse "want to be there." By the nature of the situation choosing you (self-defense), even trained people don't want to be there in that situation. But they can be committed or even comfortable using appropriate force even if they don't want to be in that situation.
