Might get messy, yes. But I'm more inclined to knives than guns. And if I had to kill I think a knife would be more satisfactory. A knife is silent, easy to carry and hide, very good for surprise attacks. > > I took judo classes while stationed a Bergstrom AFB, Austin, Texas.

Everybody had higher rank than me. But I had to find a way. So I found out strangling was allowed. So in every match I didn't care about being thrown but to bring the opponent down with me. In the floor I knew what was going on and had that extra second to strangle them. Finally a bloke saw through the strategy and pinned me down and won. Got second place. Lesson: static strategies are not good. Some other time I was attending a karate school. I was also banging the head instructor's girl (she also did karate), good thing he never found out (he was south american champion). But second in command did found out, so he put me against three opponents. It was easy for a while (applied a Musashi tactic against many opponents described in the Go Rin no Sho, you maneuver them into a line and then they will be crashing (?) into each other), but the bastard let it go on and on. I eventually got tired and started receiving blows. At one time I was against a wall and the blokes stopped hitting me (they saw I was done for), the instructor shouted at them telling them to hit me (in the street no one will stop). Then I had to leave school, too dangerous. > Then some B52 pilot was able to > throw me and wouldn't let me up, so he won.
