DaveO - seen that clip before, you may want to put a warning on that link as it is very disturbing
Yes, it is. That's the difference between real life and fantasy. The first clip was frankly funny. The second was not - but it was far, far from a worst case scenario.
The reality of true defense is ugly and brutal - training for defense is not about winning; but about escaping. That clip illustrates this better than any other I've seen.
I'm personally of the mind that "If you're not prepared to watch that little video; you're not prepared to learn defense"; but that's me.
If I have time left; I'll add a warning to that post. If not; I'll put it here:

IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH; DO NOT WATCH THE CLIP IN MY LAST POST. IT CAN BE DISTURBING TO SOME.

Answers are only easy when they're incomplete.
