Violence & Weapons

[George Hayduke]

George Hayduke Approved

 

"One of them had a big knife, then he came in and walked around the restaurant,  I guess they just kind of stabbed anyone that they saw and knocked things on the ground and then we just hid."

 

So this last weekend - mid Ramadan (but the UK authorities are adamant that has nothing to do with it) - yet another series of well coordinated attacks in London.  The timing was on cue, and the technology was primitive, yet the effect was successful.  The weapons were simple: Aggression, Motor Vehicles, and Knives.  Unless the nanny-state wishes to now castrate the aggression out of all males, prohibit all sharp instruments in an Okinawan-like decree, and force everyone to use public transportation, the ability of the state to prevent the next one is ridiculously impossible as long as the culture that advocates such things is allowed to roam free in the west.

 

That last bit is out of the hands of normal people like us, yet we are the ones that will stand at the front line of the effects of the political decisions made by those in charge.  And we will either stand as ready sacrifices to the death cult, or as combatants.  Britain seems to have already chosen out of their self-imposed helplessness. Soon the west, and Europe in particular, will either find its warrior heart and embrace the old ways, or it will be bent over the table and given its fate.

 

In this article, which I am certain will upset the "martial arts" guys, I will discuss the reality of facing a jihadist with a knife bent of "stabbing anyone they see".  I will discuss "The Jihadist Vehicle Attacks" later.

 

So here we go -

1).  Forget the fantasy of empty hand defenses: 

Do not think for one minute that your secret Jujitsu or Kung Fu methods will guarantee you winning against a dedicated, motivated, young and fit jihadist armed with a big knife intent on killing you.  Add to that his expectation of dying that day...add to that his accomplices, also armed with knives, and you get a clearer picture.  And winning does not mean 7 out of 10 in the drills at the dojo...it means we want a solid chance at a 100% success rate because anything less means that you die.  Your chances may be better if you have devoted your entire life to nothing but full contact martial arts training (and if your adversaries are unskilled)...but otherwise...unarmed against the knife is a very foolish match to go into.

 

2).  Instead of going Jackie Chan, use a weapon:

Yes, I know...it may mean violating the rules.  As I have said...and it is almost a cliche now...we live in a time of war and we must make adjustments to the reality and accept that the authorities cannot prevent these events from taking place.  So if you live in a free state, carry a firearm with you - EVERYWHERE.  Ignore the sign if there is one saying you cannot.  If you live in a not so free state, carry a firearm with you anyway and always obey the speed limit.  If you live in a country intentionally bereft of any warrior culture, see item three.

 

3).  Always be armed no matter the rules:

"But Gabe...we live in (insert oppressed socialist state or nation here) and we can't even buy a picture of a gun here".

A modern, educated man with a set of nuts in his bag will always figure out a way to be armed.  No guns?  OK, get your own knife.  Knife versus knife is a far better proposition than unarmed versus knife is it not?  My God, at the very least get a big fat stick that you can claim is a cane and that you can crush skulls with.  It really is not that difficult if there is courage, and a will, and a defiant heart that denies the state's right to control your destiny.

 

"But Gabe, the rules say I cannot have guns, knives, sticks, anything that could possibly be used as a weapon and they are about to pass laws banning ill will". 

When you cannot live in safety, and in obedience to the established law, a learned man will happily become a scofflaw.  If you disagree with that, I really have nothing for you.  Sorry...good luck.

 

4). Learn to be violent:

This is why I am not impressed with the majority of martial arts training.  Too much sport.  Too much esoteric spiritual stuff.  Not enough violence.  We need more "martial", and less "art" - as it were.  I expect that today, the Monday after the London Bridge attack, the martial arts schools in the UK (and USA) will be filled with eager soccer moms and football dads (cricket-moms and rugby-dads?) looking for the easy solution to this problem.  And they will be taught esoteric stuff intended for the "perfection of character", or stuff developed for winning a match somewhere. 

 

What they need is to be taught to physically destroy their opponent, crushing windpipes, smashing skulls, breaking bones.  The "real karate" that so few schools even understand much less teach.  But again, see item 1.  I have trained in hand to hand stuff since I was ten years old and I would prefer to not face  against a knife empty handed.

 

5).  Learn preemption: 

It is 2017.  Are we already forgetting that there is a true social-religious-political culture living in the west...in truth invited by the west, that seeks to supplant western culture by force and attrition with its own culture?  If you see a couple of strong young men, that look like they just got off the boat from Afghanistan moving aggressively toward you with knives in their hands - do we really need to have a time out to explain what their intentions are for you? 

This is the time to draw and shoot each one of them to the ground, not running or hiding.

 

6).  Keep alert:

All the weapons and willingness to violence will not help you in the least if you are asleep at the bar.  The first part of all this is staying alert.  Sit where you can see the exit, have your back covered or have an equally alert associate watching it.  Look around constantly and know who is moving and what is happening.  Don't want to live like that you say?  Well, western nations, you should have thought about that before you invited the death cult into your country, or voted for fools that did so.  You live in a time of war and you will either deny it and hope you are not selected by the next jihadist, or you accept reality and prepare to meet him.

 

That is all.  There are no secret techniques to defend against the knife by physically frail and empty handed males.  It takes violence and weapons.  And in that order.

My wife said since I have been CCW she has noticed I am even more aware of our surroundings and people. 

I would have been what was called "paranoid" in Ca not so much now. 

 

Good post George. 

[pattyangel]

Excellent piece!!!

Women, it's your duty, too!!!!  be vigilant of your surroundings.  Two sets of eyes are better than one.  Make sure you educate your girlfriends, sisters, nieces for what could possibly be.  Its a matter of "when", not "if".

[learning all i can]

Education first ......then practice, practice practice.  Know yourself and your capabilities.  The closer you feel with your weapon the more confidence in self and more determination to " take care of business" if business calls.  I sure don't wanna but if it calls then I gotta and I know I'm ready for self, family or any other that may be in harm's way.  I believe with all my heart this is a healthy state of mind that I have become comfortable with and could and will carry thru if that time ever comes.  I pray it won't but God help me if it does...

Good thoughts, George.....thanks

Excellent........I don't think my husband is ever on white, even while sleeping. I would suppose this would be from Viet Nam.  I can barely touch or pull the cover and he is on high alert.  His perception when ever or where ever we are is always racing.  Not to the extent of paranoia but awareness with any and everything that is or may be out of the rim of....it's almost like he can smell it, sense it and feel a situation that may occur....again I would suppose that many or most military men and women have that 6th sense which is not only valuable in war times but actually valuable right here and now.   Even we as civilians are now at war, everyday life has become a thought for survival....please don't take me wrong here, my life, my fears or my desperation for survival could or never would be to the extreme that our brave men and women have been thru but times here in the good 'ole USA have truely changed since Rog was in Viet Nam.....   He has taught me much....he has insisted that I must be aware and be prepared........it's a good thing

 

Thanks for the article

Also check out some Defensive Driving Articles and Videos.

 

 

 

 

Also when practicing drills you can buy Plastic Guns and knives similar to what ever you carry as pictures in the second video.

I would say the chart is a little dated....Just last year San Bernadino, Orlando, Chatanooga to name a few were Terrorist Attacks. Then not only do we have Islamic Terrorist we now have BLM, MS13, Antifa, Entitled College kids (Snowflakes) and a few others to be watchful of.

All gangs should be treated as Domestic Terrorists and either be deported or life term. 

 

That is a plank in my election platform......If I was running.

Not being paranoid or fearful, I would rather say being "prepared" is more my way of addressing it.  I'm sure the people in the UK wish they were better prepared.  

Thanks all!!! for your tips on being prepared...for what could possibly happen here on our soil.

Patty,

 

You can never be too Prepared....You don't have that chance to pick and choose which bad guy and when.....the BG has the upper hand and will always take advantage of those that look weak, distracted, pony tails (something to grab)...BG's look for that.

 

Go and get your CCW permit and carry every day....I could care less if it is a small .22 LF or a .45 ACP.....BG's don't want to die and for the most part will run....If they don't shot them again and again.....You really only have 2 chooses..Fight or die.

 

It is sad the world has even come to this but it has and it might be time to take the world back.

And that is why you do not give up your guns. Half of the British police force aren't allowed to carry weapons. I'm sorry, but they brought that upon themselves. Over the years, they have gave up their weapons, allowed these unvetted "immigrants", that want to kill them or not conform to their ways, into their country. Now they are reaping what they have sowed by allowing them to thrive in their country. That same thing is beginning to happen here with the agenda all of these libterds and snowflakes are pushing. It's time to wake up. I agree with a lot of the other post here. It's not being paranoid like I have heard before, but being prepared. When I was in the military and we were deploying to the field, we took everything that we might need, whether it was practical or not. The saying was "Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it." You only make the mistake one time by not being fully prepared and you pray that one mistake does not cost you dearly.

It's not paranoia if they are out to git ya!  And some of us have played the 'What if...' game all the way through.  We know what we're up against and we know what we must do.  We are NOT afraid.
