What does it take to classify it as self defense?

If he lays a hand on someone else, can I defend them?
If I’m attacked in the persons house, does it matter?

Question by bean crisp: Is this successful claim of self defense on an episode of Gunsmoke legally accurate for the times?
On the episode two brothers catch someone stealing hay from their barn. The thief dares them to try and stop him. The thief then slaps one of the brothers who then goes for his gun, but is out drawn and killed by the thief. The surviving brother goes to Marshall Dillon to report that the thief murdered his brother, but the Marshall tells him that since his brother drew first it was self defense.

Question by Kemjiu ™: As a person who knows self defense, do you have enough skills and knowledge to share it with others?
We are aware that being a Martial Artist is not an easy thing to fathom the real meaning of Self Defense, everybody has its own understanding and definition. But will it enough to be a part of such world that we can say we are satisfies with such skill and knowledge we have, of course we are expecting that such person we are teaching can easily adopt and use what we taught to them in case he need it.

Isn’t it?

Best answer:

Answer by Aaron J
Yes, I have enough skills to educate others, although there are others out there who are and/or may be better equipped to do so.

I really don’t think that the meaning is something difficult to understand, but I do agree that everybody may have varying ‘absolute’ definitions of Self Defense.

My skills are more than enough to be a part of the world for me, by myself…

I do however, find it incredibly difficult to maintain a positive and engaged atmosphere when I am with people who are not traveled, haven’t been exposed to much, or just plain don’t pay attention to the world around them (maybe the term is naive). It’s very easy to avoid a lot of possible threats (even vehicle collisions) by simply being aware, and I get increasingly annoyed when I am out in the city walking from a late movie, etc. and have to pay enough attention for two or three people, and even tell them to monitor their discussion topics (IE: large sums of money/expensive clothing/jewelry) around unscrupulous types.

Simple awareness from these folks is all that’s needed. Some folks learn it easily, some do not. As sad as some simple concepts may be, it’s just the way of the world and a bit of the ole survival of the fittest.

Question by MacLXXI: What Self Defense classes offered in Kansas City are recommended?
I am looking for a self defense class for my girlfriend and her sister to attend in KCMO/KCK Metro area. Are there any that you recommend and where did you go?

Answer by aspirit
For cheap and quick, they might appreciate the Women’s Self Defense Seminar held by the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department. Go to www.kcpd.org for more information. All I know about this seminar is from online, but I always recommend that people get to know their local police.

The best self-defense training comes from long-term martial arts training. For that, I recommend your girlfriend and her sister consider either of the two AKTA schools in Kansas City: Choon Lee’s Academy (Shawnee) and Blue Valley Tae Kwon Do (Overland Park). I’ve trained and tested at the Shawnee branch, though I live hundreds of miles away.

By the way, if for whatever reason neither Choon Lee’s nor Blue Valley are good fits for your girlfriend and her sister, then a master from one of those schools can recommend a more appropriate location.

Question by : What if you kill using a knife in self defense?
Say the person you who was assaulting you had a gun, and you used a knife to injure or kill him in self defense. What would happen?

Best answer:

Answer by Thomas
Self defense rules are the same no matter what weapon is used be it a gun, club, knife, or what-have you.

You need to legitimately fear that you life is endangered

Your use of force must be to eliminate the threat – if you had to kill to do so fine

Your other alternatives were not feasible – you could not retreat because your kids were there and you had to defend them

Certain situations make self defense even stronger – someone breaking into your residence for example – it is assumed you have no alternative and that you were endangered

By the way knife against gun is a very poor option and usually a losing one
