Hey Wolf, do they have mandatory training classes in your line of work where they try to teach you self defense and such?
I remember when I first started out in the prison they were teaching really inane self defense techniques that would surely get you killed if you actually tried to use them in a real situation. Like you're suppose to remember some 10 step technique that didn't even work in the training class when some pissed off, 6'3" 250lb. convict is trying to take your head off.
Eventually they did wise up to real life and started teaching more useful things like down fighting, effective strike areas and knife attack defense. Still, when it came down to it and the shit hit the fan, fear and instinct takes over and you're going to pick up the nearest heavy object and hit the guy with it.
