    I will try to explain your "Huh" away,

    Neil had mentioned festival of lights in a reply to Howard, a Jewish festival, Howard states he is not a believer, and also states happy to defend the rights of others and mentions Krav Maga.

    My reply was a tongue in cheek statement that I don't know if I want to believe (religion-God) but jokingly this lack of faith may be due to Forums, after all like cables I might get dismissed due to a lack of robust technical data! (This is not a rub at religion but fora mentality)

    The Krav Maga is more hit and miss I guess, it is Hebrew for close combat, it was developed by Imi Lichtenfeldfirst during the 30's, around 1949 Krav Maga was introduced and taught the the Israeli military. ( In that context " to defend the rights of others to believe. Krav Maga helps" does have some relevance)

    Technically it is not "self defence" but proper hand to hand combat, though many places in the UK offer Krav Maga self defence classes which are slightly removed/varied from the actual Military combat training. Hence me piping up "its not defence".

    Apologies,
    Steve

    Thanks for the clarification Steve - apologies unnecessary!

    There's that much going on in this thread I was getting a bit dizzy.

    As far as I'm concerned you, and everyone else, are free to believe/disbelieve in whatever whatever takes your fancy. Or not.

    Carry on!......
