Gilbert Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 to distract your opponents mind when some grabs your shirt really tight(an example) and he is strong and you cant move his hand to get him in a grappling technique. give him a little distraction with you hand or a little fake kick to distract the mind and energy he was sending to the arm which he had you grabbing with. the mind will be distracted and the technique can be applied easily because he loosened up the grip and he didnt even notice. Even the most powerful human being has a limited sphere of strength. Draw him outside of that sphere and into your own, and his strength will dissipate.
Drunken Monkey Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 why give a fake kick when you can kick for real? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Sasori_Te Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I'm going to go with DM here. Why fake it when you can make it, as it were. Besides there are loads of other techniques that I would go for in the event of a "lapel grab". Besides, I guarantee that a real kick is going to distract a heck'uva lot more than a fake kick. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
Drunken Monkey Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 whoa.... what's going on today? so many people agreeing with me! guys, stop it please, i'm not used to it...... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Little Dragon Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 i always resort the wrong way when sumone grabs my shirt.. I jump and kick him with both my legs..doing so ripping my shirt(s) lol...half naked in a public fight eek! ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
White Warlock Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I was so tempted to disagree with you DM, just on principle. The focus of this thread is about 'distracting the mind,' so to address the thread's topic, a full-on barrage of strikes and balance attacks works quite effectively in 'distracting the mind.' On another note, i personally prefer someone hold onto me. At least i know where there one hand is, and it's preoccupied doing something almost useless. In fact, i can use his commitment against him. Indeed, in aikido... the system you purport to study, we wouldn't even waste our time trying to get them to let go. We would just move about and allow their committed action of holding onto our shirt, as a weapon against them.

White Warlock Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Oddly enough, spittle significantly escalates the degree of force used. In some States, spittle can be argued to be a chemical weapon, especially if you were knowingly sick at the time. Silly, eh?

Sasori_Te Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 WW is right. Spitting on someone can beconstrued as assault with a deadly weapon. If you are sick, say with hepatitis or HIV you can be charged with attempted murder. It's weird but true. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
47MartialMan Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 One can still distract he mind by doing a low kick and then going for something else. Why fake it, take it.
