Bad advice. I've trained in martial arts over 25 years. I never learned how to be bullet proof. Against a knife, even if you are good you will almost certainly get cut or worse. If you invest several years in hardcore MMA training (not a storefront TaeKwonDo school) you'll be able to protect yourself to a point, at least one on one.
The mistake would-be gun buyers make is to think they can just buy a gun, stick it in a drawer or holster, and then be secure. Use of firearms is a martial art itself. Accurate shooting takes practice, and being mentally prepared is just as important.
