>>140438 There is no referee saying this is legal or illegal, there'll be a jury of your peers, and if you cripple someone, and they decide you didn't need to do that to _protect your life_ then you will be charged with a crime. There are a lot of factors that go into this, including the individuals of the jury, the specifics of the incident, and how purty the lawyers talk. But above all, and there's legal precedent behind this, if you are in some way accredited as knowing a martial art, there's a legal assumption that you had a higher degree of control over the situation than an opponent without similar training. In at least one court record, it was stated as being similar to having a knife when your opponent doesn't have one. Typically, unless you can prove they were just a crazy fucker and you _had_ to cut them/ dislocate their shoulder / break their balls/ whatever, you are guilty of a crime.
Also, ITT, every single school that says they teach a given martial art is the same apparently? Krav maga is the shit. If you find the right school, you're learning the real shit, with some degree of self-control, and using the right amount of force in the right situation. The Vale Tudo stuff is also useful in non-lethal confrontations.
Many good traditional schools will teach you confidence. Having that strength, balance, and technique in your pocket means that it's easier to walk away from a fight, because you're not interested in dick waving anymore.
