@debergarac That’s …
@debergarac That’s why I’ve got a Glock 26 (9mm) for IWB concealed carry, and a Glock 21 (45acp) that. If I feel like they’re not TOO much of a threat and we’re at extremely close range, I’ve got a Cold Steel AK-47 G-10 with “rapid deployment” (the swings open the split second you pull it out). So I feel ya, brother. I got taken out at a stoplight (carjacking) last year after a convenience store robbery, never again. They’ll get their throats slit or 11 rounds of hot lead.

Best defence …
Best defence against two guys armed with bats, run like a mother fucker, cause getting a good hit on the head with a baseball bat isn’t go to hurt you, but it will leave your family and friends pretty upset, when your in the ground.

Why is the 1st …
Why is the 1st attacker just standing there and not fighting back? The defender hasn’t hit him at all.

Normally we train …
Normally we train with light gear, we’ve been training together along time though and have gotten use to it. We normally use a light karate style helmet, safety glasses, a mouth guard, and MMA gloves. We normally don’t use mats either. I’ve had a couple broken ribs thanks to that brilliant decision, so we’ve started using thin play mats lately. They keep it real enough without too much damage. Starting out though, I would recommend going heavy on the pads and gear like you said.

Good point about …
Good point about basing ‘technique’ around one’s natural instinct. Any technique that is ‘not’ based on your natural instinct actually requires one to fight one’s own instinct in training, likely resulting in confusion if one should ever need to fight. The best combat style in my opinion is to figure out what you would naturally do, and then learn to do that really well. Put on really heavy training gear, and have your friends attack you like the street (not spar). See what you do. Train that.
