Slimer13,
The background makes a difference if they are claiming to be something they aren't for the purposes of making money or claiming that there techniques were learned to taught some where they were not.
If I say "I learned this from so and so who is a SEAL" it lends more credibility to it than is warranted. That can potentially be dangerous if someone is training in a technique or method they believe is viable but is not.
At no point in time did I say combat experience is required. But with so many instructors out there BSing that they have applicable real life experience, there is obviously something to be said for real life practica experience.
Again, the purpose of this thread was to get information and hopefully be a resource for people looking for training. Ya'll seem to be much more keen on coming after me than you are on being helpful to others. That's pretty damn sad and pretty pathetic.
If you guys have your heads so far up your asses that you're willing to throw money into a class or for training put on by anyone that makes lofty claims, I feel sorry for you.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with (as Mark said) researching before you buy.
Last time I saw a group of people get this defensive over something it was a group of high school girls. I'm dying laughing over here. If nothing else you guys provided some great entertainment for the night.
