I have for a while been into martial arts, and have some tricks to share with you. in these fighting sports, you want to take your opponent out of action so they may no longer harm you, be it with a block to divert an attack, or with an attack that renders them no longer a threat. there is also a spiritual edge for martial arts people, as they claim to have more peace. i think this comes from feeling secure in your environment as a person capable of defending yourself, and, this 'social edge' is also based on the fact that most of the time you are not fighting, but know you can.

[1] So, first thing i want to teach you is 'defensive charge.' this is where you merely raise your fists and get your legs into stance, then, as if looking into a mirror, you change your stance moving forwards to scare the opponent into backing off until they are too embarrassed to fight, or, they attack you. in the case they attack you, you will find it easy to block and counter punch, or, even find an opportunity to jab with your 'on hand.' jabbing with your on hand is much easier than you think, with all your minor attacks becoming more deft.

[2] 'Bulldozing' your opponent can work too. both their hands are up to protect their faces, so, you simply use your attack hand, or on hand, to pull their defenses down, like a knife cutting through a steak. this will disorient them, as defensive things are part of the stance, and, lacking a stance, they will back off, while you use your off hand to punch them!

[3] 'Hip kick' is very effective, as this is thrusting for the hip, which is not illegal, and, this is very hard to block. they cannot block this quickly because their arms are too high to come down, and their knees are too low to come up in time.

[4] 'Ruse punch' is very good for 'getting a point.' this would be where you swig out wildly to the side by going round the defenses, drawing their defensive hand out to 'swing a block' at the attack. this leaves them open for a less impressive jab from your defensive hand while you merely keep your attack out there. coming inside and thrusting out is advised.

[5] 'Circumventing' is where you will use brutal sloppy techniques to gain your point. this is done by using your 'power hand' the one at the back, to meet up with your opponents defensive hand. then you simply swing at that hand to push it to the other hand, so that there is an opening for a jab. this will mean that while your attack hand is coming forward, the opponent will simply waste time getting ready to block, trying to infuriate you, as fas as they think. the thing is, their attack hand will be back, preparing to counter attack, leaving a split second where they will be undefended and not attacking either. this is an opening for someone prepared for the disturbance to balance for both of you,and, gain a quick point.

Martial arts ? I prefer Chinese martial arts, its beauty and its history but any martial arts style has its limitations

For one there's very little practical use for it in real life scenarios

People just dont up and brawl for the hell of it, and those epic fights that martial artists seem to train for a more of a figment of their and their " Sifu's " imaginations. Guess thats what happens when you watch too many Patrick Swayzee movies ( Roadhouse)

Too many people have conned themselves into thinking that one day their training will somehow pay off when the reality is they're never going to need it.
 
best in the world.....

Granted, many strip-mall McDojang are not teaching much of practical worth for IRL self-defense; even many more serious schools are limited in some manner.


However, to simply dismiss most/all of martial arts as impractical in such a cavalier manner is far too drastic.


There actually ARE people who "brawl" just for the hell of it, for starters. I'd know, when I was a young man I was such a one. I just liked to fight, in or out of the ring, and didn't need much other than a willing foe and half an excuse.

Thank God I survived long enough to learn better. :D


But even if one is not a young ruffian, the possibility of needing to defend oneself hand-to-hand exists. It happens to someone every day, and you are someone aren't you?


Contrary to what Miz Manners proclaimed to her fourth grade boys, it does NOT take two to start a fight... just one who is willing to resort to violence. Well ok actually the fight does take two... when it is just one beating the snot out of another it isn't a fight, it is a beating. :D

Anywho, the possiblity of being assaulted physically is real, even if improbable for most civilized folks at any given moment.



Back to martial arts... it is true that many systems teach stylized attacks and/or overly flamboyant techniques, but not all do this. I've trained in schools where you could be attacked in any manner during certain drills, or by multiples, or weapons (fake weapons for safety's sake, lol).

Also, it isn't so much that most martial arts are impractical IRL, as that most instructors don't teach realistic application of their art's techniques... like aiming that round kick at the other guy's nads, or the nerve cluster behind the knee, instead of his head.

A good elbow strike is rarely ever impractical in a tussle. :)


F'rinstance, some years ago I was attacked by a Pitt Bull that broke his chain and leaped for my throat, and had nothing ready at hand but a handheld computer. Now, we never trained in any Pitt-Bull specific techniques (LOL) but had it not been for my years of MA training, I probably would have gotten badly mauled. As it was, the dog ended up dead and I didn't get a scratch, because I knew how to block and dodge and hit and was able to APPLY those skills to the situation in question.



Not to mention all the other benefits of training... conditioning/health, coordination/grace, focus and discipline, as a stress outlet, etc etc.
 
Learn boxing or Muay Thai. Do actual sparring where you learn what it feels like to hit in the head. Learn some jiu-jitsu just in case you ever get taken to the ground. And being able to run fast doesn't hurt.
 
Learn how to shoot a double leg. Regular people won't know what the hell to do on their backs with someone on top of them.

When I was a young brawler, the three most common opening moves were the haymaker, the headlock, and the single or double leg takedown or football tackle. In Jr High all the boys did a little wrestling and learned the 1 and 2 leg TD, and many of the roughnecks were former football players. Many were also familiar with the usual countermoves to the takedowns, the Sprawl and the Swim.


I imagine that isn't the case any more... I suppose wrestling was removed from normal PE before dodgeball was banned... can't have the pwecious Special Snowflakes getting mat burn or cauliflower ear or anything... :D


I taught Son#1 a variant on the Sprawl, combined with a throw from Aikijutsu... when he had the move down pat I came at him in a full speed takedown and ended up in a mud puddle fifteen feet away LOL... :D

No way. Screw that. You should never voluntarily get tangled up on the ground.

If the person your fighting has a friend near-by, your head becomes a soccer ball.

Stay on your feet. Learn good legs kicks. Take out their knee, then run like hell.
 
Dont get me wrong I have been a fan of Chinese martial arts since I was 10 years old and there's nothing wrong with learning Martial arts or self defense but street fights just dont happen and I think MMA is grossly exploitive so I dont watch it either.

More wushu from some of the best trained Martial artist in the world


Love the spear form and the 2 man and 3 man sets
