Seriously? I dont know how different your laws are, but under UK law, no martial arts instructor is allowed to teach you something like that. If you are caught using anything you learn in class, in a fight, you lose your licence to fight in class or competition. And if you do not have a competition licence, you face a ban on training. Your training is meant to be used only in self defence and never to be considered as a means to kill.
I hear about people being attacked here all the time, but can't say I've been in a fight in over 11 years. Even that was because a situation got out of hand, and some bloke didnt like me throwing his girlfriend out of a party.
I rarely go out alone, and even rarer that I go out at night (obviously) and I never carry a weapon. I dont own any, want to or need to!! I just avoid people who look like they might start (groups of yobs who are drinking, junkies & chavs) if I do go out.
Get steel toe cap DM's. They look no different to ordinary ones, and can do some nasty damage to limbs if all else fails and you need to use your feet!
