I think that the main thing is the thought process. At least considering and pre-thinking things through is 90 percent of the game.

As an old, disabled person myself, I would use only one finger to thwart most attacks. My right index finger softly placed on the area that would cause the most damage to my assailant, the smooth trigger of my XD45.

Sorry but most self defense classes are very watered down to something that is almost useless against a real threat.

Most are. Phil Messina's are not. He's the real deal.

Hmmmm, encourage elderly folks who don't have the physical strength to run away to engage in h2h with minimal training with someone bigger, stronger, faster. Sounds like the "gun control is telling a 110 # woman to fight a 240 # man with her fists". Yeah, a few can, majority can't.
