It is, more or less. It’s from Israel and the Hebrew translation is “Contact combat”. We address the immediate danger and then attack as soon as possible. It’s not pretty, but it is very effective. Here’s the link to the web site for Krav Maga Worldwide: http://www.kravmaga.com/. Also, check out Amazon.com for some great books on Krav Maga written by Darren Levine and co-authors.

Yup. That’s it! As a cop, I needed to find a reality-based self-defense system that would keep me safe. Krav Maga has been the answer for me.

No modern day airliner door can be opened in flight (thanks to DB Cooper, the highjacker that jumped out of a 727). They all have mechanical lockouts and the pressurization prevents “plug” doors from opening as well.

In smaller planes you can open the door.

“. . .that flight attendants directed all of the females to the back of the plane and all of the males to the front.”

What?!

That is sexist, because we all know women can do the same job as men, any job, too include close combat and hand-to-hand (after all, Buffy kicks the poo out of 250lb bad guys all the time).

Seems the PC crowd is only PC when it affects others, not their own life.

Interesting choice to move the women back and men forward. Gutsy move, too, as I am sure the PC police will soon attack the stewardess for making such a sexist move.
