I’ve been in this red-pill space for about five years. Everyone tells you to train in martial arts, but no one really knows what they are talking about. Today’s show will focus on the bs a lot of guys believe and their bs egos too.

Everything Jon, Thor and Brian, Brian, and the Corrections guy said was spot on.
Really appreciate that everyone has very different backgrounds and came together to put together this valuable conversation.
since 2015 the illegal migrants from the middle east and africa have arrived in millions in germany. the germans just stay out of the clubs or inner citys in the evening. the best way is to avoid the insecure areas and live in the countryside and protest and fight against homes for the illegal migrants in your neighborhood. i guess the future is protected closed areas for the germans.
Great points here. Hand skills are always an imperative because tools malfunction. And when you do use tools, you have to know ahead of time that you'll only use them in a situation that is worth going to prison. The second amendment is just words on paper, no matter what many might think.

Regarding the hypothetical about the guy who does boxing, does not grapple and what not killing someone in a bar or what not. The biggest advantage to his boxing is probably the fact that he can defend punches, which is the most dangerous and common form of unarmed attack. If you are over six feet tall, under 40 and lift weights, you can stuff most grappling attempts with your strength alone but you cannot muscle your way out of a punch in the jaw.
I'm not saying nobody "should" learn grappling or whatever but many young guys obsess about that stuff way too much. Every fourth person in the world speaks Chinese, Spanish or whatever. How many hours do young guys spend obsessing about their Chinese or Spanish skills? Mostly zero. Young guys need to learn more social skills and worry less about flying armbars from the guard.
If you end up on the ground it's very useful to know grappling but why would you waste the element of surprise and do things the hard way if a kick below the belt accomplishes the same objective with a fraction of the risks and time? The talk about the law mostly does not apply at least where I live. The way I see it is if someone is trying to light you up with punches or threatens to kill you and is coming for you the law should be the last thing on your mind. In my country you might get 1-2 years probation for causing someone's death with no ill intention and by the time someone decides to come for me with lethal intentions my life is already changed anyway and the only thing I can do is try to reduce the damages because the decision of my life forever changing was already done by someone else and I cannot nullify that decision. It's like losing control of your car and having the decision to steer your car towards a ditch or towards an incoming truck. Easy decision for me. If you waste the element of surprise and go for akward and time consuming techniques you are giving the attacker more chances to take control over your destiny. In the worst possible case of you taking the driver's seat of your own life the other person will die and you MIGHT face charges. If you face charges then you might get a fine or face a couple years of probation. But if I decide to give someone extra time to think and hurt me then I might end up in a position where my life is conclusively and terminally in their hands. In the extremely unlikely event that I have to hit someone with all my might my life has already been forcefully changed forever well before my fist lands on target; I'm just trying to minimize the damages. I'm never going to be able to shake off the memory of having my bodily immunity and integrity challenged and compromised like that regardless of whether I will come out without a scratch or not. I'm going to be mentally affected for life and I can only do the best I can not to sustain physical injury.
