I have been watching a few YouTube video ,I think and please don't quote me on this but the YouTuber is someone called Andrew Tate 

 

And he says " a man should learn to be dangerous"

To protect his family 

 

And 2026 for me will be learning boxing , karate , and everything else 

 

I will travel to Thailand,to Phillipines to learn all disciplines 

I'm thinking at my age I maybe better to stick with boxing and ....sorry to sound "violent " but ..learn the art of knife fighting and using a stick because at our age it's not easy to stand and fight normal so I need to learn weapons 

 

This is a dangerous world especially for us mature age guys 

 

All I ask and surely it's not too much is for you to learn some kind of fighting skills to protect yourself and your family 

 

But....we need to learn it for our age group 

It's no use if your 70 to do ju juitsu your going to get hurt 

 

Weapons like Phillipines martual arts etc are better at your age 

 

You will never know when you might need these skills believe me 

 

 

 

 

The best weapon is absence – remove yourself from the situation. 

 

Learning anything like you suggest at your age will probably give you a false sense if confidence and get you hurt.

 

What you may learn in a classroom situation is entirely different to real world scenarios - and you are at the wrong age to discover that.

 

Be safe and simple; dont get involved or just walk away.

I reckon it's too late for you to learn these skills. 

 

I don't think you have the coordination, the skill set required.

Reading your recent postings, both monkey and ladyboy incident, you'd be far better off hiring a full time body guard.

Absence is correct but you shouldn't get yourself into the "avoidance" stage where you avoid things just because it could happen 

 

But absence or removing yourself is correct 

 

On my way to work last night in Australia I decided to take a short cut at 11pm through a big Park land 

 

Only to realise that it was full of homeless people, I got some abuse but kept walking ,

I could of stopped and argued but I ignored it ,I couldn't even see their faces it was dark 

 

Was it a smart move to walk through a park at night full of drug addicts...no but should we avoid this?

Avoidance is not the answer 

A man in his 70s, your fighting days are over, you no longer have the speed or the power, if someone drops you then you can't bounce back up...if you go down in your 70s then you're down, it's finished. So a man in his 70s has to learn to ignore words and situations, to smile and find ways to back out and be on your merry way. If you are attacked by some nutter then go for the eyes, try to get your fingers/thumbs into his eyes and blind him, or get hold of something like a brick or a can of baked beans that you can clock him hard in the head with, then get out fast.

In America they are allowed to carry guns 

I believe and don't quote me ,but I believe in the Philippines you can also carry with a licence 

Mind you I heard here in Australia it's easy to get a gun licence

It's called common sense, and yes, anyone with any would not take unnecessary risks if an alternative is available.

Judging by the recent mass shooting, that seems to be the case

You must have a skill set to operate a gun. 

 

I'm worried that you may hurt yourself when deploying a weapon 

 

In Australia I owned a 308 Bruno, several 8 shot pump action shot guns and a couple of 22's

If you are going to live in the jungle as you are saying in one of your other melodramatic posts,

You should try a fighting style designed for the environment you live in.

I can recommend Pentjak silat.

I would advice you to contact a hospital and arrange an ambulance before you start in case you break a nail

or even worse a monkey may look at you!

Keep making things up! you will never be a real bob but you could be a bobby!

Anyone trying to get me into a scrap is only going to see my butt and the bottom of my tennis shoes. 

 

I'm fast when I'm scared.  That's my strategy.

I don't know if that's a strategy

But...I'm thinking it comes be a good strategy 

To leave the situation immediately

Of course it is.  One of my favorite YouTubes is this MMA expert who looks like he could crush bulls for a living, demonstrating how to run away instead of getting goat roped into a stupid fight.  If that guy runs away, that's my strategy, too. 

 

The subtle part of his training is to trick the aggressor into thinking there's going to be a fight because some of them are pretty fast, too.  Then he turns around and hauls ass before the aggressor can react.

You know that sounds like a good strategy,

Thankyou for your service Sir

A couple years ago I was cutting across Hyde Park in Perth on my way to the shops, there was a group of drunk aboriginal men and one began shouting things at me. I was far enough away from him but at the shop (Coles) I did buy a can of beans and had the can inside a couple of plastic bags, so when I walked back across Hyde Park if I got attacked I had the beans to clock the abo. However, nothing eventuated. 😁

I think Georgie boy has some Aboriginal blood in him, I hope he's not offended. 

 

Anyway these guys are generally harmless, unless you're a Pom or kiwi, so I would avoid buying beans, maybe a jar of vegemite.

Not at all

I make sure I claim all my benefits.

 

 

Always carry around one of those compact high luminosity tactical flashlights. These are non-lethal self-defense tools that primarily work by disorienting an attacker. They can also be used to enhance situational awareness and, in close quarters, serve as a physical striking weapon.

Not just guns, I like lots of things. 

 

My main 'like' is cute Thai chicks ❤️

 

I noticed a u tuber deploying  "fart spray" when he was threatened, I think that would be more appropriate for the OP,  certainly more appropriate than anything that puts him in contact with sharp objects like knives 

Reminds me of a joke :

 

A man got badly beat up in his local pub and thrown in the ditch outside.

The next day he took steps to learn how to fight and enrolled in a Karate class.

After 6 months he was a black belt and full of new self confidence.

The next day he returned to his local for the first time in 6 months.

He was beaten up again and ended up in the same ditch.

When he came to , there was an old brick in front of him. He chopped it in half with one blow.

The only weapon that actually works in a fight is the one that’s in your hand when the attack begins. If it’s in your shoulder bag or pocket, it’s worthless.  “Wait a minute, Mr. Mugger. I have to find my pepper spray bottle .”

”Sure. Take your time…”

If you need to have it in your hand, you are probably not where you should be. Make better choices. 

Its a pity that you are not back in the 1950's GG. Your problems would be solved and I know you would be frantically filling out the coupon.  

 

Things were so much easier back in the day..🙃
