I just saw this on the ABC news site in Australia and had to
share.
This is the exact reason we all learn Krav Maga, to defend ourselves.
Check out the below scenario. Imagine that guy knew how to protect himself
against a long weapon attack, this may have ended differently
Man killed in Sydney airport brawl
Witnesses say the man was attacked in the Qantas domestic terminal at Sydney
Airport: "A man has been bashed to death in front of passengers at Sydney
Airport."
Witnesses say a group of men attacked the man in the Qantas
domestic terminal earlier this afternoon.
They say the fighting began near the departure and arrivals gate before
moving to the check in area.
One witness, Phil Crew, says the group closed in on the victim, using the
metal bollards in the check in area as weapons.
"It looked like two people fighting at first, and then all of a sudden a
whole rush of guys came through the crowd, picked up the poles and just
started smacking this guy in the head with the poles," he said.
Mr. Cruz says the group of men then fled, escaping in taxis.
"They started grabbing the metal poles that break up the check in area and
swinging them almost like swords at each other heads," said another
witness,
Naomi.
Detective Inspector Peter Williams told a news conference that police were
investigating outlaw motorcycle gangs over the incident.
He described the attack as "gruesome" and the perpetrators as
"groups of
cowards" purporting to be tough.
This article just proves how important it is to learn to defend yourself. I'm
so happy I know Krav Maga. Maybe if that guy knew a long weapon Krav Maga
defense , he could have stopped the first attacker and got out of there in time.
