I know from experience that an untrained guy that grabs even a trash can lid has a huge advantage over a guy that may have trained for years.

I am partially trained (Boxing, wrestling, and about 200+ street fights) and every time I see some simulated street fight where a little 'master' chop sockeys some 360 lb bruiser while there are about a million potential weapons lying around I have to laugh.

Well, that and, no matter how awesome jet lee might be at hong kong martial arts, he cannot stop bullets and a crowbar will break his arm or head just as fast as anyone else's.

Unless you are a reasonably sized guy with about 25 years to kill and the ambition to become the master at the art, for most people the most valuable 'combat' skills you can develop are basic physical fitness (rule #1 for survival in zombieland… Cardio) and situational awareness.
