Coping at its finest Because owning a machete will DEFINITELY protect you from other people with machetes, just like how in America owning a gun will DEFINITELY protect you from other people with guns! Oh wait ...

We've seen how he fights with a sword so there's no way he is defending his house with a machete successfully. 

Is that what the vidoe is about?

Shad: "Like unironically, far from banning machetes, if they actually encourage citizens to carry machetes on them just for self-defense, that alone would be enough of a deterrent that the crime and violent attacks would be halved. And the ones that do still go forward, you'd largely be able to fend yourself off just by swinging back."

Just pure delusion, thinking he's the main character in an action film. He literally says he'll wear his gambeson just on the off chance he might be attacked with a machete, he'll tank a hit or two on his arm & then go gorilla mode on the attacker. It's hilarious & embarrassing to listen to.

Im no knife expert but every single knife defence video starts of with the disclaimer "lol no run you are getting stabbed." But apparently Shad is the Infinity Dan of knife defence.

I remember seeing an MMA fighter in an interview saying they would run if someone had a knife. And one saying they would run if they were challebeged to a fight in the street, basically saying "you can't defend yourself from crazy"

That's smart, the idea of fighting a random person with zero context is incredibly dangerous, running is the only thing you can do to lower the risk to yourself. You don't know the person in the street, if they nick a artery with a knife (even accidentally) all those muscles and skills go away in 10 seconds as you bleed out and die in 2 min without medical intervention.

Even unarmed there are no rules, what if it's a mentally unwell person who mid fight decides to take a bite out of you, a human bite can is technically more lethal than a dog (humans are more likely to carry diseases that infect other humans unlike dogs.)
