And Cynthetiq while you and I agree krav maga is the right way to learn how to defend yourself, where you actually go through being choked to learn how to defend yourself it may not be the right way for everyone to learn. Here there is perhaps real psychological damage not being choked in a controlled environment.

It isn't. I never claimed it was. If it helps more of the 98% I'm all for it. If the 2% have emotional difficulties from such a thing, there are IMO deeper underlying issues that broke the surface and would have surfaced in the future.
I'd rather worry about the more than the one. I'm a believer in the needs of the many outweigh those of the few. If worrying about the emotional distress of 2% and you still lose more of the 98%, well, then IMO the thinking is flawed. Someone is allowed to die because of concern about someone's emotional state?
Now there still has been no studies to show the effectiveness of this program, or even the emotional impact.
