Check this video out. It literally just came across my Youtube feed, and it directly relates to the post I put up two days ago (and the follow up post that will go up tomorrow) about how useful physical fitness is in a self-defense context.

This is an entire video – close to 30 minutes – of private citizens stepping in to help cops who are in trouble. All of the situations last an extended period, often 10 minutes or more, and all require a decent level of fitness for the citizen to be successful. If they did not have that level, then they could not have helped the in trouble cops, and there may have been dead or seriously injured LE as a result.

I knwo there are lazy instrcutors in the training community who desperately want to concoct a way for them to stay lazy, but the reality is still reality, not their personal fantasy. Don’t have a resonable level of health and vitality? Cool, you will suffer consequences, but that is on you. Where I have a problem is when these people try to rationalize their laziness and attempt to convince others it is okay to be morbidly obese, or toothpick thin. It is not, on so many levels, but certainly in the context of self-preservation against a violent attacker. If you disagree, the explain away this entire video with MULTIPLE situations.
