"But muh MMA"

”Real men use fists”

I’d gladly use my fists, especially since I love doing MMA and Boxing, but let me just say something. That’s not how to real world works.

Fists, martial arts, and overall size don’t do shit to stop an armed attacker, rapist, road rager, or mugger in the real world.

I’m a big guy, like 6’5 and 300lb former defensive tackle who works as a nightclub doorman big. If you somehow think I would be able to magically stop a stabbing or getting shot, all related to “using my fists” or “being a real man,” then you are truly fucking delusional to a point that suggests your either vein and childish or dangerously unaware of the real world around you.

My sister was assaulted in her house by her ex, in front of her kids he brutally beat the shit out of her in the garage to the point she went to hospital, her boyfriend defended her, you know what he used? His knuckles, or his Rifle? I have Korean American friends whose parents own liquor stores, you know what they use if they get robbed? Taekwando, or a Glock?

My girlfriend’s family use to own a small grocery store, carniceria/panderia (Mexican/Central American butchery and bakery) you know what her dad used during the LA Riots when cops abandoned the ghetto ass areas of the city and left working and middle class, mostly immigrants, to their own defense. His fingers? Or his Mini-14 and Type 56?

We keep guns at home because this is the real world, I live in fucking East LA, when you live near or in a ghetto area you take matters into your own hands if needed, same thing with people who live out in the country and are isolated from police and first responders, I have to worry about reality. Thank Christ I’ve never had to, but the insurance itself is peace of mind.

Hypothetically, do you think my fists and hands could handle themselves against some cholos with a 9mm? Or do you think I’d rely on my FN57 and my 44 magnum?
