Got Attacked Last Night

[TC2]

What style of MA are you studiing?
Most of the popular ones are utter shit, mostly used to sucker in soccer moms and 8 yrd olds.

And ROLGOR is semi right about boxing, but if you can throw a good, hard, fast and ACCURATE punch, the fight is 99% yours.

But you should always learn to low kicks(not high flying Van Dam kicks) if you throw a front snap kick to a person's knee(just under it actually), they will go down and then you can pummel them.

fighting is stupid

Not if you have to defend yourself or someone you love.

I spent years as a kid in worthless martial arts classes. I studied Pa kua chaun, so rim, wu shu, seven step praying mantis, and about a gazzilion other martial arts styles. The flowery movements and practice had little to no real world application.

What I learned:

Boxing, Muay Thai, and Jujitsu have the most to offer... hands down.

Krav maga and kajukenbo are really pretty much just high breds of the above three... and they are generally pretty good.

If I could pick only one - boxing.

What the hell is wrong with people?


Circusgirl - If you should ever find yourself in such a situation again and I hope you don't. Don't start with a fist to the head your first clean shot to stun someone else is a straight blunt chop with the side of your hand/palm/pinkie - keep your hand and fingers straight and think HI-YA and your desired point of impact is the neck just below the jawline (think adam's apple).

It will make breathing difficult for them and buy you a bit of time.

TC2 your right. a good solid right to the jaw has ended many a fight before it got started.

Canadian Oak. Pencration sounds interesting. I never heard of it. I did a search but couldn't find anything. Any more info?

I am glad to hear you are alright. But i agree with you,martial arts are a thing of the past, after all, how many fights end up on the ground? 99%, so i would recommend looking in to some juijitsu-i dont know how it is spelled, but it is more likely to accomadate that type of situation. I have been to a couple classes and my friends go there also, it's worth looking into.

I guess this would be brazilian and/or gracie, not quite sure

good luck

Might I suggest you just keep walking and ignore people's idiotic comments. Short of that, a swift switch back kick into somebody's lower gut will put them down. Then run. What level have you reached and how long have you been training. If you're not getting real life self defence instruction, find another TKD school (or other MA) that does.

Be still my foolish heart...

There's just something so fetching about a woman who knows how to take out an enemy's throat.

I thought all goths carried straight razors.....



But martial arts training does not help you at all unless:

#1 You are in complete control of yourself, you must be calm.

#2 You are NOT fighting a berzerker who is doing nothing but charging and swinging wildly. (or Biting)

I study a little bit for a couple of years during my teenage years, but I believe that to this day, the only thing I got out of classes was how to roll my body with my punches and put my entire weight behind them. Basically, I learned the best defense is a fast and effective offense.

And another rule of thumb is... if you are out numbered, Sucker Punches are completely legal.

Yeah, most people just don't realize, that the average person can't fight worth a shit, and most definetly can't take a direct punch from a trained fighter(any style).
