Hello,
Gassho.
We've all been asked, "How does SK stand up...".
I've seen several such inquiries and responses in this forum, and have ever remained the lurker:o .
This came up the other day when I was having lunch with a 4th level black belt of Aikido. We just laughed because the answer we came up with was, "Whoever could run the fastest!".
"Real-life" situations occur. Every situation is unique. If you can't talk your way out of violence, run from it! If you can't run from it, do your best.
The goal of self-defense is not only to be prepared for the necessity, but also to avoid the necessity at all costs.
