I, personally, like a martial art totally effective in hand to hand and non projectile weapons not only against other martial artists but untrained individuals as well. I also like the idea of there being a philosophy that can allow one to create a synergistic relationship between the martial art and the lifestyle. It makes the process easier in that it integrates into everything you do. Also, I like having an instructor that can easily kill anyone at any time, but who teaches almost absolute non-violence. It's important to instill responsibility in those that you arm. That's something that the pro gun crowd and I agree on.
