So I got to thinking

I was exercising today using the modern overhaul mod today and decided to use the brass knuckles.

Now It should probably go without saying but I grew up never knowing how to fully fight or defend myself and was an easy target for bullies as I was basically the nerdy theater kid with parent problems so I never learned how to fight properly to defend myself (this became ALARMINGLY apparent using the knuck's)

Then I got to thinking with the use of the modern overhaul mod would it be possibly beneficial to use this (and videos of people who actually know what the hell they're talking about) to learn self defense for real life scenarios?

Not like in the means of put your attacker in the concrete then kill them, but more like put their ass on the concrete then disarm or restrain them should the need ever arise.

I'm moving back to New Orleans with my wife soon and I've always been in the mindset of "if they attack then you shoot" but I don't think the wife or I would be happy with resulting to a gun as a peacemaking option on the streets so I think it's about time I learned to fight lol

Just a theory and possibly a way to use the fun game to benefit me other then working out
