I kinda need some help, please respond!!

[Strife]

I need a site or just someone to tell me how to do some simple but effective moves, something maybe like what they teach military.

I don't really know what to tell you. You could try looking on the net for basic self defence moves. If you really want military, join the military.

It's much better to have someone show you in person. Feedback from in instructor is very important. We may think we are doing a technique correctly, but then with feedback we realize that the technique may be incorrect or can be done even more efficiently. It would really suck if you thought you knew a technique and when you had to use it, it doesn't work because you didn't learn it correctly.

 

Another thing about learning "Live and In-person" is having the technique done on you. This is one of the best ways to really get to know a technique and know if you are doing it correctly.

 

Check out a bunch of martial art schools in your area. Find the right teacher for you and you'll never regret it.

 

I hope this helps.

As a veteran of 16 years of service in the US Army Infantry, nothing beats the hands-on of the PT pit. Initially, hours are spent in the training pit as young recruits learn how to through very crude techniques at each other. As in real life, if you do not do them regularly and with intensity the skill begins to go away. One thing to keep in mind is that in the military, the job is to shoot guys and not punch them. Many more hours are spent shooting, rather than punching. Sad, but true.

 

As the others above stated; define what it is you want to learn how to do, research the schools (and their instructors) in your local area; determine which is the "right" one for you, make a commitment to yourself, and sign-up.

 

Whatever you decide, good luck!!

LoL, "Im a rookie and I want to learn Combat Self Defense, so i can pull someones voice box out of their neck and eat it"... That stuff is dangerous, I suggest seeking professionals instead of doing it from a book or online.

TRS has a free report. I recommend getting on their mailing list. I've bought material from them and really enjoyed it.

I'm sorry but it does not work like that. To true understtand meaning you will need a real sensei. That is the only effective way to be trained.

For the record, Im no where near a rookie. Ive been training in freestyle martial arts for a few years now. I use JKD philosophy, with some things from muay thai, ninjutsu, boxing, etc. Im always looking to learn something new. That is why I posted this message. I would like to incorporate military styles into my training, and there is no where nearby for me to learn. Military styles are usually effective and are easy to add to my personal style.

Well Krav Maga is an Israeli army self-defense system which is sometimes taught as a "civilian" martial arts system.

 

I'm sure a search on amazon or similar would produce plenty of books and videos claiming to be from "military types"... but personally I'd be a bit dubious of this sort of thing... why is this "expert" no longer in the military and why is he teaching this stuff openly... probably just to make a buck, perhaps he was dishonourably discharged for being no good, and has no military pension or anything.

 

Interestingly, my sensei was in the Japanese army, but he just teaches karate... I get the idea that many military types do some traditional martial art, but more for sport and physical training, rather than something to use in the field.

 

The army is about hiding in bushes and shooting people, or better yet aiming a guided missile on a video screen from several miles away. If someone gets too close, you stab them with your bayonet, you don't duke it out, Rambo style...
