Yeah, I agree. I mean, the amount of hand-to-hand altercations or interactions in combat, while limited, can absolutely be the difference between life and death. So I don't think we should be professional MMA fighters, but there needs to be a minimum standard level of competency that for sure wasn't there. I don't know if it is now or not. I hope so.

Yeah, I think so. And I know for me, like we, I had a similar experience with the, uh, combatives program, you know, cause we were around the same time and the head striking. Yeah. To me, the, the thing that always, uh, People would think I'm joking. I just got fucking hit in the head for a week. Yeah.

I will say that, that fucking bone in your hand, like it is an effective striking mechanism for in close.

Yeah. No, I mean, it's like a, it's one thing. I mean, to me it would be like focusing in jujitsu on one technique. Like let's say it's. I mean, whatever it is, but that's all you focus on. It's like, well, if you can't get in a position to strike somebody that way, then it's fucking useless. If somebody's keeping range on you, you're fucked.

And to me, the biggest thing, the thing that I had the biggest problem, even knowing nothing, Was the stance, you know, and the, you can kick me in the knee all fucking day. If I stand like this, it's like, no, you can't. No. Like if you run into anybody who knows how to throw leg kicks, you are fucking screwed.
