Anyway, I keep thinking I'm going to learn Aikido, but, you know, I've got a self-defense problem too, so I'd like to understand what happens in real life.
IMHO, you need to define the range, distance, or miai you feel you need to defend yourself in. Long range = rifles. Closer = shotgun. Closer = pistol. Closer = knives or kicks. Closer = punches. Closer = trapping. Closer = grappling. Closer = ground work. Where is your threat? Also check out within your own fears and trying to get all the answer before you begin the journey.

Until again,
