what happened at the battle of goliad

The story shocked me more than usual because I know my buddy is a pretty good martial artist. He is often dubbed as 'talented' by his colleagues and superiors. What's wrong your story? In theory, he would have wasted the thief in no time while he clearly had no weapon with him. According to him, he couldn't know how to handle it. He knew how he could subdue such assault but he just couldn't know what to do immediately. Long before there was machines to sort out on and competitive sports to keep us moving and before wars were being fought, man didn't think about fitness and health as a technique of keeping healthy. He simply knew that if he didn't hunt, he wouldn't eat of course, if he didn't run, something would hunt him. They were challenging times that focused simply on survival.
