No way in the world my friend would I buy a motorcycle 

But please .... surely it's not too much to ask for you to go to a gym or even walk 5000 steps a day 

Move yourself!!

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 

 

 

 

 

First my dear apprentice! You should learn mastering the toothpicks! A deadly weapon for the ones who got the skills. 😂

Are videos worse than almost getting attacked by a ladyboy?

On 12/16/2025 at 11:54 AM, georgegeorgia said:

Yes , I am also doing statistics and compiling lists .

 

But we must focus on survival techniques, I was nearly attacked in a park late last night by homeless people sitting on a park bench !!!;;

 

Nearly?

Georgia allows open carry of firearms

and "shall" issue concealed carry permits.

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.

 

Guys who are aggressive and always looking for trouble will back off if you stand up to them, real hard men do not go looking for fights or any sort of trouble, also nine times out of ten a guy who is experienced in any martial art will usually come out second best against an experienced street fighter, unlike in martial arts, there are no rules in street fighting.

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 

 

Duh....of course you should have avoided walking through the park. For God's sake man....God gave you a brain for a reason. Next time, use better judgement and discernment or it may cost you your life.

pepper spray.?

Good to know how to defend yourself but as a general rule of thumb taking advice from Andrew Tate may not be well advised

Are you supposed to carry these cans with you every time you go out?  Are you supposed to ask your opponent to hang on whilst you rummage through your pockets or bag to retrieve said cans? 

Ridiculous worldview... how old are you? Anyone smart enough won't get involved in physical altercations! Your role model, Andrew Tate, is the opposite.🤣😂🤣

I maybe heading to Philippines to learn the art of KALI which basically is using a walking stick to defend yourself 

These seemed savage young thugs when I walked through the dark park ,I could see their heads under their hoodies looking at me 

God knows why I'm still alive !!

 

When I got to work I was particularly shaken

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. 

There was a time when I could fight for fun. Now at the age of 79, I find it hard to fight sleep.

 

I carry a stick for balance, I can't run, so my best tactic is avoid conflict, if all else fails, then the eyes have it.

I used to collect disguised walking stick and umbrella guns for a hobby in the UK.  I never fired any of them, but that should would surprise an agressive Brit!

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.
