The Fashion Police Can’t Help You
I did learn one thing during the three-hour Krav Maga seminar Tuesday, from a story that the instructor told. One of his students was attacked by two men at knife-point while traveling in South America. They stood on either side of him, and attempted to rob him of the pouch where he kept his traveler’s checks and passport. The student grabbed the knife-arm of the first attacker and pulled it across his body, slicing into the face of the second attacker, and then proceeded to disarm and disable the first attacker with a series of knee strikes and straight-fist punches.
That’s what’s so great about exploring different styles of martial arts. I learned a really valuable lesson because I had always thought that the proper defense technique in this situation was the traditional “Whoops, I’m wearing a fanny pack, please stab me in the face” move.

I totally thought you were going to go the traveler’s check route - seriously, who uses those?

Good job, Worker, for not going down the comedic road suggested by someone whose name is a Dan Quayle joke from 1992.
