It sounds cheesy, but it's true--(I haven't read the link yet...) it's supposed to be about principles. We show you many ways to apply them, but you should be able to improvise and seriously improve your chances of survival. You can see it in the instructors' eyes when you ask them about an attack they've never learnt a defense for.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, if I do run afoul of a krav practitioner, and I have an equal choice between a big knife and a live raccoon as my weapon, I should choose the live raccoon?
Good to know.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm now picturing Nutty with a holster slung low on her hips. On one side, a nasty looking knife. On the other, a pissed off raccoon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A good krav practitioner should be able to improvise and handle the raccoon equally well as the knife. A bad krav practitioner might scream, "Ahhh! Raccoon!" and run away.

If I only had a brain...
Surely even a great krav practitioner is going to need to take a few seconds off to giggle?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
If you laugh your ass off, does it lie there wiggling on the ground like a lizard's tail, distracting your attacker?

All is well that ends in pizza.
This all reminds me of the Monty Python sketch Self Defence against Fresh Fruit.

When you're dead. For something like a raccoon, they have to kill you.

Considering that raccoons are vicious, bitey, and often carry rabies, they can make surprisingly effective weapons.
