It's the kind of technique a special agent would know, and it is quite popular for self-defense as well. So I don't think it's exoticism, it's just slightly more precise than saying "hand-to-hand fighting", because it namedrops a widely-used technique that is specifically aimed towards disarming opponents with pistols or guns. | |

Jun 14, 2019 at 13:04 | comment | added | ShapeOfMatter | @PoorYorick, your point about different sets of skills seems good, but Krav Maga is way to specific. It reads as exoticism, and it over-corrects: just because he hasn't trained in Krav Maga doesn't mean he hasn't trained in hand-to-hand fighting. | |
