I Want to See That Pressure Tested... And Other Internet Bull Shit

This has to be the most frequent comment that our own videos receive, that or  This shit is going to get somebody killed!! In regards to the first comment, we do pressure test everything before we even think about putting anything on video. We strive to be a step ahead of the rest in regards to adaptive self-defense, in that we are consistently trying to be a level of realism to what we do.

I have a suggestion for all the internet warriors, why don't YOU pressure test it for yourself and see if it works for you. Why don't you take ownership of your own self rather than depending on somebody else to do it for you? Who would have guessed that human responsibility is a good thing?  

Now, onto the second comment: That shit's going to get somebody killed! You know what? It might, no system or technique is without fault or counter. Some options are far better than others, but there just that options, we try and give the community the best options that we have discovered. And most of the time we are looking to adapt techniques that already are in existence so others have options that are best tailored to them and their needs.

If something that we put out doesn't work for you, great, but don't sit there in front of your keyboard and talk shit. Instead, how about you show us something that is better, that won't get someone killed. What makes something work is intent behind it, not that something is flawless in and of itself.

In short, learn to be open minded, test things for yourself and don't rely on others to always do it for you. If something doesn't work for you, feel free to disagree but do it with a sense of respect, humility, and decency.  

Is that too much to ask for? I don't think so...
