Should several of them decide to attack me, my ability to successfully execute a flying armbar, defend against an Omo-Plata of defend the cross-body armbar will be of little benefit. each of us deals with a different reality in our day to day lives and we each see "self defense" differently as well. Do I believe training in various martial arts over the years is helpful to self defense? Absolutely. But they, just like the RBSD systems do have their weaknesses.

No art is perfect and no one tried stating that but, again your case as a corrections officer is the exception not the rule. Unless I'm mistaken and I'm the only non corrections officer here? If that is the case then yes I'm wrong. But to not realize that particular situation is a rarity and not the norm. Only gives fuel to a fire that is out of control.
