I'm still not scared. I think everyone on here is some triple black belt green beret navel seal airbore ranger chuck norris undefeated son. You could of been anyone on the internet, and this is who you choose to be... someone who doesn't even have to take a hit, just falls to the ground and pretends to be dead until everyone else is gone. Amazing simply amazing..

On paper I actually am a lot more badass than I am in real-life. This used to irk guys in my platoon. I got to go to a disproportionate number of ARMY schools because when you're in the sniper platoon there's literally like 6 guys (7 if you count the platoon sergeant). Like you have your shooter, and spotter, and then you have a team leader. There's 2 teams. I was on the M24 team, the other team was the Barrett/50 Cal.

So these school slots come down from higher, each platoon might get 4 school slots. Well when the sniper platoon has like 6-7 guys in it, and the other platoons have like 30 guys in it, the guys in the sniper platoons end up going through a bunch of schools comparatively. Especially when the higher ranking guys use their Rank to get out of going to these schools.

I actually went through ARMY combatives level 1-3 off post in Clarksville. Was part of the first group of soldiers that they let civilians teach. A lot of our instructors were former UFC fighters, and UFC fighters would visit our camps because the MMA community is small and they thought what we were doing was cool. Matt Larson actually came up from Florida and over-saw us.

So anyways, after going through all of these schools and then moving down to a regular line platoon, someone saw my ERB and got mad. They were like according to your ERB you're some kind of black ops ninja sniper. And that's really what it sounded like. Advanced martial arts training, sniper school, sotic, ranger school, airborne, air assault, RSLC etc.

In reality I was not the toughest guy in the platoon, and I was not the best at anything in the platoon. Despite being a sniper there was guys in the platoon who could shoot better than me. Despite being a martial arts instructor, there was many guys in the platoon who could fight better than me. But on paper I was more qualified than all of them at everything, and that was a far cry from reality.

Been tazed a ton, both in the ARMY and by police.

We used to grapple with taser knives and it was hilarious.



They blind fold everyone, and pair them up with a partner to grapple with. You sit back to back. There's an entire group of soldiers in this room, and then the instructors walk around and randomly place a taser or taser knife in someone's cargo pocket. The reasoning being they want you to get it in your head that you never know if the person you're fighting is armed or not and you need to treat everyone like they potentially have a weapon of some kind on them.

And it's absolutely hilarious watching these fights. Most people turn around and start half-ass grappling and reaching around on the other person's pocket to see if that person has a taser or not. I was one of the smallest dudes in the class, like 150 pounds. Most other people were 200+ pounds, and of course the first round of this, I think the instructors decided to put it in my pocket because I was the small guy and it was hilarious in general watching me fight for my life to hold my own against these huge dudes who were way stronger than me.

I remember turning around and the guy asking me if I had a taser on me and being like "no" and then we just stared intently at each other and a shit-eating grin spread across my face and I reached in my pocket as fast as I could, and went for the taser and he started trying to fight me over it, and I some how got loose and caught him in the ribs with it. I think he actually let me get him though just to get it over with. The way the tournament works is you have to keep fighting until you eventually get got.

The way I got kicked out of this little tournament was my best friend got me good with one... like I realized he had it and when we were fighting over it it got knocked to the floor. We both dove for it, he landed on it, grabbed and spun around and basically impaled me with it as I came crashing down towards him. He was way faster and more athletic than me.

Learned this guy killed himself a few years go. Really kind of shocked me because he was one of the most stoic and strong people I've ever met, but where he was so good at grappling, he actually made it to the very end of the class without getting zapped (and he was only like 155 pound guy, but Native American and insanely strong for his size)..

so what did they do? Well you have to get tazered, its part of that portion of the class. So the instructor (Matt Larson in this case) snuck up behind him and got him with two tazer knife things. Apparently when you use two on someone it's like twice as strong because the current from each meet with each other or something.

And yes I know police tazers are different. I've been shot with those too.

But yeah, hella familiar with tasers. That's like one of the only things I learned in the ARMY that I could take with me in life and I even recognized that while I was in. The army taught me how to fight like a complete badass in a way that is realistic and in a way you won't learn anywhere else in the world. Like a lot of the things that work in MMA won't work against ARMY combatives because they involve eye gouges and groin strikes.

I already knew how to shoot and stalk prey before I went to sniper school. I don't think the ARMY taught me to be a good sniper or anything like that. I think I was a good sniper because of growing up in the Appalachians and being turned loose with a rifle at a young age and sneaking through the woods shooting stuff from far away.

Like Carlos Hathcock didn't go to sniper school to learn his skills, he was just raised very similar to the way I was.

Didn't read, your fighting someone with half a brain that has a knife / taser your going to fucking lose or take major damage before you're able to subdue your opponent.

You have no clue what you're talking about and it shows. Most people are killed with their own knives, statistically speaking. Do you really think that a 120 pound girl holding a knife is going to pose much of a threat to a 185 pound man? Do you really think that you holding a knife is going to pose much of a threat to a 250 pound man who has 15 years of grappling experience on you? I assure you, if you can't survive grappling with these guys, you're not going to survive grappling against them simply because you're holding a knife for them.

I learned a long time ago in knife vs knife fights, I'm always better off letting go of my own knife and wrestling the opponent over his knife. Unless he's really good at grappling, he stands absolutely no chance at defending himself.

I could not bring myself to harm such a pitiful creature.

The poor thing claimed it would have me executed.

I'd crash my fist into his face. What an annoying slobbering tub of grime.
