Flashy Martial Arts suck and here's why

There is a time and place, and purpose for any form of self defense.

Stating that one form sucks and another is better discounts the realities with which some people live.

For instance, some folks live in countries where private owning or carrying of a firearm is restricted or prohibited. Or maybe you've been convicted of a felony in the US. There goes your point-shooting lessons, for instance.

One will never suffer for learning a martial art. It is an option, and no one wants to go into a situation where they need to defend themselves without as many options open as possible.
