Deletion of LOTUS self defense

Comment: I'm the "original author" - actually, I'm not as the article is from .  When I created it I did some basic research and decided that although it is not widely practiced, there are several clubs across a number of US states which I thought made it sufficiently notable.  I'm neutral - I contested the prod as a matter of form as the original author is in effect unable to do so
