I am pre-emptively blaming you all if I punch someone because they look at me hinkey on the commute home, NOW THAT I AM TERRIFIED OF GETTING STABBED.
It's a real burden being right so often.

I promise I will not.
At least, not until they have the couch in their truck.

See, now you're thinking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's weird--I remember all the gun defenses, including rifle and machine gun, as clear as day, but I can't mentally walk through half the knife defenses.
Otherwise I'd prep you, msbelle.
javachik, that's a terrible story. I know it sounds trite, but those people would probably have stabbed the shit out of her if they'd had knives. It's a gamble, but people who "don't mean it" more often have guns, and people who "don't mean it" are more likely to hurt you if they end up having a knife. People who do mean it will hurt you with any damned thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle, getting arrested would not set a good example for your child.
Increase the peace, people!!

Occasionally we do chalk sparring at the dojo. (I think they do it with the kids to make them wash their gi). Anyway, it is difficult to get out of a situation without any chalk.
We often practice knife and club techniques, but I haven't learned any gun techniques.

Jesse, my child does pay one ounce of attention to good examples, have you been skipping and skimming?

Some classes they'd tell us to come in with t-shirts they didn't like very much and we'd go up against and with rubber knives with lipstick on the edges.
Or better yet: the SHOCKNIFE. I was responsible for bringing that puppy into the training regimen. And I was also informally responsible for tracking people down who'd never been shocked with it and trying it out on them. Many times that meant I had to shock myself to lull them into a sense of security. I mastered the stoneface. That shit hurt like a bitch.
