I got jumped walking my bull mastiff. One guy wrapped me up from behind with my arms pinned to my sides. He was beyond fat and we fell with his full body weight slamming on top of me. While he held me I was kicked from both sides of my head repeatedly. I went out for a few seconds and came to laughing(wheezing), while they were rifling through my pockets. This got me a few more kicks. I was laughing because had they picked literally any other time I'd walked Tinkerbell they would have gotten my wallet, and if they'd done it earlier that day- the brand new Note 3 I'd just purchased. I only left my stuff because I hadn't yet purchased a screen protector and my biggest fear was a scratch in the screen (but not getting jumped!). My dog was huge, but I was glad she'd stayed away. I couldn't imagine coming up on someone walking that big a dog. Sometimes shit just happens. I am 1st Dan in Tae Kwon Do, 2nd in Tang Soo Do, was lucky enough to take boxing lessons with some pretty cool people, even Butterbean. I made sure all my kids got the same and then some, with their primary focus Jiu Jitsu as I believe ground game is of utmost importance in self defense, something I was lacking in for years. Just because nothing I knew could help me in that one super shitty situation doesn't make the years I spent learning moot. It's definitely helped me far more times than not. If these women are potential targets, they should protect themselves however they can. My issue with guns is a person is more likely to pull a trigger from fear than anger, or it could be taken and used against you. I used to have a CCP but thought it might get me in more trouble than help. Nowadays I've been considering getting one again. It's beginning to feel like most people are carrying (here, in California- I know that's not true but that's what it feels like) We never know what's going to happen, we can only try to be prepared and hope for the best.
