Comment by currysteph on March 13, 2009 at 8:41am - Im not going to say the training MPD had wasnt useful...but as someone who is somewhat familiar with CQB Hand to Hand and Isreali Krav Maga, there are better more direct methods of dealing with confrontation and disabling or disarming your adversary that doesnt allow them the opportunity to have a second chance at you.
