intense hand-to-hand training
I would have prefered self defense in HS gym instead of the parallel bars. Much more interesting.
Wouldn't hand to hand be something that needs to be used or practiced to be useful under stressful situations? Muscle memory and all.
The same with a gun. Unless we continue to use it and practice, it may not be helpful in a stressful situation.
Besides, if we are attacked by someone we trusted, they would know about the gun or if we had self-defense training. They would know our strengths and weaknesses.
When men carried guns and swords, did they always keep them strapped on when around friends and family or in the home? Did they expect to use them against women friends they trusted?
We can't know the person is a "werewolf" until he changes, then it may be too late.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
