Is it a realistic & effective form of self-defence? Not trolling, just want an honest answer. Does it work?

hi SiSiSi
well ive used it on the street to defend myself and iv found it works for me.
but i will say its like any other art it depends what direction you take your training for what you want it for.

Hi Dave - I noticed from your YouTube site that your home town is Newcastle ..... and I seem to remember - might be very wrong - that your MA experience began in Shotokan..... I was just wondering whether you started at the Newcastle Sendai club?????
