If I have to choose a kick it would definately be something to knock my opponent down. Hard kick to the side of any knee preferably left as their stepping in, they will usually trip over themselves, then deliver front kick to abdomen. That should at least weaken their spirit for the taking. Nothing really technical just whatever works given the circumstances.

The concept of incorporating several different striking techniques along with Judo make it a very effective art. Judo by itself is already pretty good but we rely on counter attacks more so than attacking someone. So to get in close sometimes means sacrifice to pull off the throw. Most of our damage is done after the throw when our opponent is hitting the ground. In my experience i would recommend taking boxing, karate, or any other striking training before you do Judo.

Thanks for the replies, these last couple of months i've just been biting my toungue and trying to ignore it. I give off the evil staredown back but there so focused on trying tomake eye contact with her that they don't see me. If they do it from a great distance away i'll walk in front of her and grab my nuts and smile and they definately look away after that. This has been working pretty much all the time now, it actually makes my wife laugh and makes the other pervert feel stupid. I think if someone was stupid enough to say something out loud it would definately be a fight.

There are a few defenses that come to mind... 1. If telepathed push comes, move into target with a double knife hand block followed by headbutt to the bridge of the nose. Should end there... 2. Step side of attacker, follow with ridge hand chop to the throat 3. If the guys drunk and you really don't wanna hurt him you can grab and twist his wrist for a takedown.

o.k...So I guess pyun ju mok to the throat of the next man that looks at her is outa the question huh . No just kidding, I guess what were gonna have to do is just learn how to drown out the world around us. I guess i really can't do anything about it EVERY time it happens, so logically im gonna have to distract her when this happens or tell her to pay no mind to it. From what I understand so far there's no reason to be crying about it in the first place. I appreciate everyones responses to my question, I just wanted to know how you all would react. Thanks Alot

I usually like to land all my shots first. So for starters you might want to counter strike everything he or she might throw at you. Then further into the sparring you can try getting off your shots before he recovers from his attack. Try to stay light on your feet and concentrate on speed and accuracy and everything should come natural.

Thanks for the replies fellas, I just wanted to know how you would react to my situation . And yes my queen is the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. But really, I am not exxagerating...98% of the guys here in south texas act like cave men when it comes to women. We notice it more cause we are from Connecticut. We never had any stares up there, everybody just minded their own business. Since we moved down here it's literally like im walking in the mall with Pamela Anderson or something. Im definately not insecure about anything, my lady just finds it uncomfortable and Im not sure how to handle it other than to just ignore it. By the way these are definate long stares too. Any other insight on how to handle this situation without psychologically taping into my mindstate would be appreciated.

As martial artists we have the responsibility to refrain from violent behavior unless you or someone elses personal space is violated in a derrogatory way. Well Im not sure how I should react whenever I walk into a restaurant with my wife and the bussers and waiters are all staring at my wife. I can't even sit in peice and enjoy my meal cause everytime I look up some dude is staring at my wife. I usually respond by giving the evil stare back at them until they look away, but sometimes they don't care they look away and start staring again after I look away. I AM a jealous man, but the fact remains that It makes her uncomfortable when people stare at her. Not only that but it's JUST FLAT OUT DISRESPECTFUL!! It's so bad I've got Fathers walking their baby's in their stroller and their wife with them just staring at my wife. I also get alot of punks and gangsta wannabe's giving me challenging stares. This happens everywhere we go. I can't possibly beat up every guy that gives me the stare down, I would get sent to jail every other day. Some days I just blo w it off and other days my fists clench up and Im very close to popping someone. How would you all handle the situation???

No, nothing really offensive that would state " I'll whoop your ass" or anything. I have a t-shirt with the symbol of my dojang on the back of it/ and an aikido t-shirt with a small graphic on the back of a man throwing an opponent. I usually wear them under my gi. Every once in a while I'll wear it to places like best buy, the mall, or a supermarket which are family environments. I see it just like any other Nike t-shirt that might have a swoosh on the front and a basketball on the back thats in my closet. I understand the responsibility and humbleness that a martial artist must carry. I don't walk around with a cocky attitude and look for trouble, and im far from being a showoff. I guess I might be a little nieve about the implications of wearing my t-shirts in public, and how people perceive me. Thanks for your opinions guys...I never thought of it that way.

Well all this talk brings up a valid question....How do yall feel about people wearing T-shirts with Karate or Jujitsu graphics on it, or maybe even your Dojang logo in print on a t-shirt. I do this out of mere pride of what I do and not to be a braggart. As a martial artist how would you feel if you saw me in an airport with that kind of t-shirt. Would you think I was a show-off looking for trouble, or would you think Im merely proud of what I do???

Im not going to be biased with my answer so I will stress the bad/good points about KM.... What I don't like..... 1. Takes a long time to be proficient at it (of course ) 2. Takes alot of coordination to piece together combinations What I do like..... 1. Straight to the point, bone breaking combinations all in one movement. 2. Pressure Point attacks 3. Overall technique What I love about Krav is that your trained to disable your attacker in the quickest fashing with least amount of movement. We are literally timed on these attacks wearing pads using 50% force contact. I know...I know you can do the same with all the other martial arts that we all study, but Krav does it REALLY REALLY DIRTY .

I only wear the pants to and from the dojang. As it was stated before, you may draw uneccesary attention from onlookers when you wear the top. The only time i've done it is if im sweaty and it's cold outside.
