Sounds like an argument I wouldn’t win, no matter how valid arguments i present, so I won’t bother
But… but… someone is WRONG on the INTERNET… are you just gonna let that slide?
/s obviously
Luckily 100% of the people i know are in this situation and the society around me push the general idea that killing is always wrong no matter what. And it works.
Then yes, condition may change in third world countries
IRL when you are in a self defence situation, you are already laying on the floor bleeding profusely and/or knocked out, I’m talking from personal experience, most of the time you get sucker punched or/and jumped on or/and punched in the back of the head or/and assaulters have weapons, so unless you’re heavily trained, when self defence situation happens you’re not gonna protect yourself, as Mike Tyson said, everyone have a plan before they got punched in the mouth, so unless you can act on trained “instincts” you gonna get stomped on the head
I have taken Mike’s advice into every fight I’ve been in. No amount of armchair training can prepare you for when your adrenaline really hits.
Absolutely this, however, doing drills and sparrings is necessary so your body know how to move without your mind, i mean, completely untrained people just flailing and doing haymakers while those who doing drills at least can throw some straights and jabs and clinch and double leg takedown and some throws, at least i can do this automatically without thinking
I believe the point of their argument is killing is ok if your in a life or death self defense situation.
Whether you are actually able to defend yourself is irrelevant for that point to be true.
Oh you’re certainly correct. Self defense training should be mandatory IMO. Both with and without weapons.
My point was that a life or death situation changes the “there’s no good reason to kill” argument.
