I am in a similar situation as Smoke,
49, and I earned a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do 5 years ago. I do 4 miles on my elliptical every day and work out on a Bowflex every other. I can bench the stack (210lbs) 20 times no problem.
I have no delusions about fighting a 20 something year old. If necessary I could maybe fight my way out of a corner if I was lucky, and retrieve my weapon.
Becoming a Black Belt taught me there's a lot of fighting to do and a lot of ways to lose said fights. I know some good moves, but in reality I believe you should consistently know a couple effective procedures and practice the snot out of them.
Most effective: Smooth draw and excellent aim.
