Hudson Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Wait, am I reading this right? Defense against an unarmed, untrained person? Anything! Provided you have a good teacher. Sure, someone will say "Wing Chun for it's economy of movement and practicality" or "Jeet Kune Do's philosophy is that attacks are sporatic" blah blah blah. Anything will work against most unarmed people. Perhaps you'd like to break it down a little more? Or am I reading it wrong? The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbi Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I agree, thats a pretty vague statement. Anything that allows you to have the edge over your opponent would be pretty good. You also didnt really state any type of scenario. I'll assume you're thinking of a straight 1 on 1 fight. All styles advocate different strategies for defeating an opponent. Some prefer striking, others throwing, even others ground fighting. But as far as a seasoned street fighter, there are different types. Good street fighters may have a good haymaker punch, or maybe they just hit HARD, which is an advantage entirely by itself. Most common things that happen in a street fight though are 1: haymakers/sucker punch 2: clinch to a headlock 3: tackle followed by ground and pound.

Master Jules Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 LOL........good advice Mente...... But seriously.....any training is better than NO training......just remember that a streetfighter DOES have training......although it might not be considered "formal"......fighting of any kind....ANYWHERE.....gives you experience......and generally speaking.....experience is whats helps make you "better". ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Dont under estimate your attacker, especially by assuming one is untrained. And remember every dog has their day (meaning even the so called untrained your talking about can get lucky) Find a style that you enjoy training in otherwise you will eventually drop it.

Reklats Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Anything that stresses the actual physical application of the stuff (whatever it may be) that they teach. Don't be fooled that just kicking pads will prepare you, even though you're using the super deadly diving crane attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
