I studied several disciplines when I was young, karate, wrestling, boxing, Japanese ju-jitsu and some Jeet Kune Do. But that was a Looooong time ago, now I'm 58 and dealing with all kinds of injuries from a lot of "hold my beer and watch this ****" kind of stuff. I'm like you brother, I'm too damn old to be taking an ass whoopin' but still too young to die (I hope) and that's why I carry a pistol everyday. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Lol!

Nailed it! My thoughts exact.
 
Gentlemen, please do not misunderstand the meaning of my thread. I carry knives & gun daily when & where it is legal to do so. I have trained with knives & guns. I have successfully used them both on multiple occasions to protect myself & others. This thread is intended to reach out to those interested in martial arts training as it relates to self-protection, including but not limited to firearms.
Not misunderstood, some of us trained until we just weren't able to anymore. Oh I can still hit like a sledgehammer, two or three times, but the last time I had to I was literally 20 years younger. I only had one herniated disc back then and had to make sure that "so called fight" ended with one punch in the gut & one knee in the face, any longer and I might have got my ass whooped but I've never let a cousin get the best of me.
Threads around here tend to get derailed pretty easily, no harm meant.
 
I also trained in multiple disciplines when I was younger and instructed for many years. I specialized in women's self defense. After training some women for several years and seeing the best they could do and how it would be applied in a real world situation, the ultimate advise I gave them and have given every woman that has asked me about self defense since then is "Carry a gun!".

Sorry ladies, but the average women simply cannot reliably stop an average man in a determined attack using hand to hand, regardless of training.

Is this for your work/profession or you have just had that many encounters where guns and knives were needed for you and those around you?

Aw hell bro... a stern look from you can make a mans knees tremble and his lower lip quiver. When would you ever actually have to hit anyone?

I live in a rough area. Had my door kicked in once, in Aug I rendered aid to a lady who got knocked out & had her jaw broken in 3 places. I've had thug gangster wannabes try me only to back down after letting them know I mean business.
