i had a discussion about this with my boy
and i was like why do you think most people won't learn these survival skills?

i wondered if it was out of fear (just the thought of possibly needing these skills in the future) or out of laziness

and he said most ppl just probably don't think they'll ever really need it. but there was an incident that happened this weekend. we were at a club and this guy tried to violate, and my boy was about to fight. and i felt like in that situation *I* should be able to defend myself. and i plan to take it upon myself to learn to defend myself so that i don't need anyone to "fight for me."

i think everyone can benefit from these skills even if they are never used. extra knowledge never hurt nobody.
