I do, however, agree that is definitely an under-represented part of the curriculum in most self-defense schools.

Yeah, maybe nobody was a bit far sweeping. Mas does do that a bit.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read Sixto's post.

Now thats what I call a sticky situation.

Sorry, I'm a Southpark fan.

Whatever you call your school you'll attract a lot of folks from the internet if you add, "Not for Geckos".

Scared Sheepless? lol You're right on about most not dealing with the aftermath of a shoot. Seems unless you do your own research beforehand you're SOL.

Before I started to take self-defense seriously, I was mugged at gunpoint. I wanted to learn if my reactions were typical in a scared-to-death situation. It's one thing to hear or read about it, but another to experience it first hand. I appreciate those who try to put into words what they experienced as well as those who try to simulate real world training. The variables in situation and personality make it difficult to generalize, but the shock and adrenaline burn can be likened to that of waking to the feel of tires on the shoulder after dozing off at the wheel.

Because we are trained drivers, we instantly know the problem and how to solve it, so the shock and adrenaline dissipate under control. Driver's ed taught us how to drive and told us not to fall asleep at the wheel. Shooter's ed teaches us how to shoot and tells us not to get into victim situations. But the law of natural selection cannot be learned except through real world experience.

WWII pilots who survived five missions of real life shooting training in combat went on to become aces. Those unfortunates, who didn't make it, all had the same ground school and flight training. So what made the difference? What kind of training can give one a decisive edge on the street? Driver's ed can't run you off the road, so you'll know what to expect. Airsoft aside, I can't shoot at my students, in order to give them a taste of adrenaline and the will to survive.
