Totally agreed. As a guy who has done 3 different grappling arts…

Most people have no idea how to defend a takedown. Even fewer know how to do a basic break fall to not be KOed on contact with the ground after failing to stop the takedown.

Just learning a little bit of boxing footwork and jabs for distance management, 2 takedowns, breakfalls, and takedown defense, can have you wipe the floor with 80% of the random people you see in a 1-on-1 fight (assuming no weapons involved).

Those are good odds for so little training, but it is honestly true for most men.

Nothing replaces a gun, or armor, for sure. But be prepared or be sorry. And the life lessons, fitness, and confidence the training brings is a value in and of itself too.
