guys have truly dangerous assumptions.

[goundra]

when I was 20 and in the Army, some guy who'd trained a few months at karate was convinced that he could kick me AFTER seeing me start to draw my .45 auto. I was wearing it ****ed and locked, in a thumbsnap Bianchi rig, tied down. I was a dog handler at night, nobody saw my gear who cared about it not being 'issue". we were guarding nuke missiles, but could not have a magazine in our guns, much less a rd chambered. I normally kept the chamber empty, cause I dryfired a lot, but the mag was in place and I did practice cycling the slide to chamber a rd, a lot.

Anyhow, I showed Yeck that I would have to break loose the leather restraining snap, disgengage the thumbsafety, depress the grip safety, before I could fire. So he's super confident that he can REACT to seeing me move, and still kick me before I can complete the draw and fire sequence. He managed to twitch his big toe! A few guys are faster than me with the gun, but hell, even Bruce lee could not have done this. Kicks take at LEAST .20 second to complete, and nobody has a faster reaction time than .10 second, most people, it's .20 second. this guy would need more like .70 second to react and kick me. My draw and 1 handed point "click" takes about .40 second, so he never had a chance.

In 1985, some other fool had read in a gun magazine how a FAST man can charge 7 yds, from a standing start, and smack a gunman who has an openly worn, holstered gun, can do anything about it. So he, being a smoker, beer hound lard ass, says he can do it from TEN yards. I bet him $20 that he could not do it from 10 ft, if I started with an empty chamber and with the pistol concealed under my shirt. So he was CERTAIN that he should bet. we removed the firing pin from the 1911, of course, as well as the ammo. then he started his charge. I jumped back as my left hand cleared the shirttail, backpedaled as I cycled the slide, and clicked it at his chest when he was still 5-6 ft away from me.

Then, to take advantage of his stupidity overwhelming him, I bet him double or nothing that he could not do it from SIX FEET away, if I concealed the gun as before, but ****ed the hammer and engaged the safety, and WOULD NOT MOVE FROM WHERE I STOOD. He was all OVER that bet, since he "knew" so MUCH more than me about guns. He charged me, and as I cleared the shirt and drew, I front kicked him in the chest, just hard enough to stop his forward movement, and again dropped the hammer on his chest. "click". What I would have given to have a video of his stupid look. I told him, " you just got a REALLY cheap lesson, bud". A life and death one.

Fit man can charge 10 ft. in 9,844.02 milliseconds.

 

[goundra]

yes, and a truly fast man can react, make a concealed draw and fire a shot, one handed, that will strike the chest, at arm's length, in 3/4 second. If I have my pistol in the low ready position (safety engaged, finger outside fo the guard, thumb atop safety, arms down at about 45 degres, , I can react to a signal, flick my wrists up enough to ensure a chest hit at 10 ft, in sub 1/2 second. You don't want to learn the hard way how fast a man is with his pistol.

Cool stories bro

Goundra I nominate you to go to MARS first. If there are any sort of dangerous alien life forms there, I would think you'd be able to take care of them pretty quick.

[twentee]

thanks, but the pos's and idiots who need handling are all here on Earth.

 

[goundra]

and I'd start with you and Burroughs.

 

[Burroughs]

c'mon we all know goundra/twentee is a 17 year old plaid shirt dyke living in her mom's basement.

the only 'long kicks' she does is to get into her oversize uncle ben jeans

Goundra,

Action is always faster than reaction. It would depend on who was acting or reacting and whether you were ready. If you were blindsided by someone, with no chance to draw, that's where your karate skills come in.

 

[goundra]

no action is NOT always faster than reaction. SOME people's reactions, like Bruce Lee's, are MUCH faster than other people's actions. I trained in Korea, and have never said a word about over the head kicking. I trained to be able to deliver such kicks, but I don't think that they are practical. As a 20 year old, I COULD kick most people in the head before they could do anything about it, but a kick to the knee is inherently faster and safer, and plenty effective enough.

 

[Aristippus]

What I'm saying is that delivering a kick or strike is always faster than having to add reaction to the equation. You're adding perceiving+recognizing+reacting to the equation versus just acting. Think of a straight punch versus blocking and then punching. I'm oversimplifying but you get the idea.

 

[Who Dares Win]

I always like to read Goundra's stories, they are inspiring and motivating but the ones I like the most was when he was captured from the nazis in middle east and forced to take them to the holy grail cave under the treath of killing his father.

Thankfully he managed to use the holy grail to heal his father's wounds after the dumb nazis drunk from the wrong grail and died.

Btw what happened to the old knight which managed to survive from the 12th century? you always give lots of details about how different the fake goblets looked like but never to what happened to him.

 

[goundra]

go peddle your bs somewhere else. I am the real deal.

 

[speed dawg]

You all are a bunch of arrogant *******s. Beneath goundra/twentee's radicalism he has some damn good insight.

 

[twentee]

I aint radical. Other people are just fvcking lost, that's all.

 

[Dust 2 Dust]

Tell us the story about how you stood toe to toe with the quick draw national champion.

 

[twentee]

since none of those guys amounts to a crap, why would it be great to be all 3? I'm much more than that, actually. I never had to beat the national fast draw champ, with live ammo. I just took his wife, and he never took it to the physical level. My dad kept saying "There's gonna be blood over this yet".

Basic training, Army, 1971 was nothing. Nam was hot, they didn't have time to do much PT. Physical training. They hauled us around in cattle cars. We marched back from the training areas a few miles, a few times. Did some calesthenics a few times, that was it for anything physical. we were just expected to memorize a lot of things, like rank, when and how to salute, march, do basic and I mean VERY fundamental stuff with the M16 rifle and hand grenades.
