If you had to defend yourself... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15061305  United States04/25/2012 07:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | correct your brain is the best weapon you have your environment/surroundings are your next best weapon why break your hand on his face when you have a brick wall or a car door to do it for ya ??? use your brains and use your surroundings to your advantage. not too many are gonna want to mess with you anymore after you throw somebody through a window or hurt their back up against a wall. there are multiple weapons around you at all times. use them before they do. a pen or pencil can become a dagger a lamp can become a baseball bat your car keys can become a straight razor your weapons are endless if you only use your brain ;) |

Quoting: khnum 455005 Acceptable behavior-yes or no Reasonable demand-yes or no Safe do you feel safe-yes or no Escape-yes or no. Four nos means action is required. Your primary objective is not to be there when violence erupts,if you enter a bar with a bad vibe-leave,if you see 4 guys that look suspect coming towards you cross the street.If you must run away. Even when you do defend yourself there can be legal ramifications such as a charge of 'excessive force'. Despite countless hours sparring and doing groundwork I have only had two serious encounters after which you shake like shit and feel a little sick due to the adrenalin dump.I am extremely non-violent but we live in a violent world so you have to know something about self defense. Why not join a Krag-Maga or other good self defense course OP they'll take you in any condition and hell you might just loose a few pounds get healthier and a lot more self confident in the process. Our Aussie friend gives top notch advice. Krav Maga to come up to speed for street fighting far faster than a traditional martial art. One word of advice I give my martial arts students if approached by a group of bullies: Identify the leader, go after him/her with everything you have. If you can expediently take out the leader, the stoolies usually (but not always) book. Self confidence is the best defense for avoiding trouble, Dirt bags rarely go after someone who carries themselves well and exudes presence. Best of luck to you.  Life is karma and karma always reflects both past and present circumstance. Our time here is short, so choose carefully and behave well, for all of your tomorrows are presently being decided.

(says a 6'7 tall kinda guy.. lol) |

I'm 54, have done 8+ recent years of karate (red belt currently) and have completed the basic krav maga course. I plan on doing the advanced course soon. It's never too late to learn OP. Krav Maga IMO has the best all round street fighting defense techniques. They are easy to learn and with practice becomes second nature. Here is a taste of one of the Best Krav practitioners in the world. [link to www.youtube.com] |

| Lady Jane Smith Forum Moderator User ID: 6718122 United States04/25/2012 08:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I probably wouldn't stand a chance in a fight, much less getting mugged by a group of thugs. Quoting: Quagmire Perhaps I could fight dirty by going to the eyes, ripping at ears, kicking in the groin, etc. Jesus Christ, you're getting mugged by a gang and you're worried about fighting dirty??? There is no question you fight dirty, no matter how tough you are, you fight to fuck them up bad, very fucking quickly. This is not a boxing ring ffs. This is not some action movie scene. Forget any bullshit you see getting posted here about how "real men" should fight. If you have no escape route and you have no choice, they're going to hurt you and you absoulutly have no way out... you fucking go psycho my friend, you lose the goddamn plot. You hurt them fast and you hurt them bad and then you fucking get your ass out of there. Can't be a "real man" if you're dead hm? I'll tell you the truth, anybody who talks shit about "real men" and a "real fight" has never been in one outside of a nice safe ring/gym, and probably not even that in 90% of the fools who are going to post in this thread. Me, if I have no possible escape route, I just hope my phone and wallet is worth the cost of their eyeballs and never having children (in fact, I'd probably be doing society a favour there). On the street you fight to end the fight and save your ass, not to make yourself feel like Chuck Norris, not to be a badass or look cool... life is not a movie. As for carrying self defence weapons, fuck me that list you gave is a bit overboard dude, are you Batman? YOU GOT KEYS, PENS/PENCILS, LIGHTER? (bet you can't guess what that's good for, look it up). You got keys, they got balls. You got a pen, they got eyeballs, nice soft necks/faces, you're just as well armed as them. Let's see them mug you with a sharpened 2b pencil jutting out of their jugular. Whatever it takes... what's your life worth to you? You got walls, pavement, concrete and metal all around you, they just want your valuables... you want to live. Whatever it takes. You don't need to be strong or trained or even all that tough, you just need to have a greater desire to survive than they do to rob you. You just be a fucking ANIMAL. All this goes doubly so if they have a gun, because you are most probably dead... so sell your life dearly, make them regret it for the rest of theirs. True that as well. There are rules of the ring and rules of the street -- THE STREET HAS NO RULES!!! If cornered, do not worry about which of their body parts you yank. OBTW, the ears are an excellent choice, especially if you can grab both, yank their face into you rising knee and then twist their head till they hit the ground. Takes practice, practice, practice to do this effectively. Life is karma and karma always reflects both past and present circumstance. Our time here is short, so choose carefully and behave well, for all of your tomorrows are presently being decided. "Don't die on a small cross..."
