Can MA be used against other species?

[KickChick]

Travelling around the world, the average hitchhiker can sometimes find himself in the situation where the following question arizes: can normal martial-art techniques be used against other species?

 

Well, Kenpo is versatile enough to be used against many species. For instance, the variety of defenses against bear hugs would come in handy against Grizzlies, Polar, or whatever you run into. And at the upper levels we are specifically trained to deal with attacks by common barn animals.

 

For instance:

 

Sheep Defense #1: Against a charging sheep attack. Sidestepping by placing the right food behind the left, you dodge the sheep's charging attack, swinging your right arm up and around to bring a hammer-fist to the back of the sheep's head. Follow with a left front kick to the jaw, and then a right reverse leg sweep to both of the left legs, if possible. Cover out, grab scissors, and shear.

 

Plunging Cow: Against whatever sort of horn attack a cow can mount. Step forward at a 45 degree angle, stepping left and parrying the cow's right horn with a right chop block. Do NOT strike the head. Cow skulls are hard. Follow with a lunging front kick to the udder (also known as the "milking strike"), and then vault onto the cow's back. Use the cowbell-strap as a sleeper hold. When the cow loses consciousness, roll off the cow to one side, then tip.

 

Multiple Barnyard Defense: Against a surrounding attack by a horse, two chickens, and a pig.

 

Horse

 

Chicken You Chicken

 

Pig

 

You are, of course, facing the horse. As the pig makes its move (it always will), flow towards the chicken on the right, doing a left-handed finger- rake to the horse's nostrils and a simultaneous spinning right hook kick to the pig. With your free right hand scoop up the chicken, keeping your spinning momentum to throw it at the other chicken as a distraction. Rolling across the pig's back, use your free legs and perform a double crescent kick to whatever part of the horse you can reach. Upon landing, bonk the chickens' heads together, grab them, and drive the two beaks into the base of the pig's skull. Throwing both chickens at the horse, do a somersault between the horse's legs, roll out on one side, and leap over the horse, grabbing the mane as you fly across and using it as a takedown.

 

Well, honestly, that's about all I can think of. If I'm ever assaulted by my cat, I'll let you know how things go.

Mas Oyama killed 1500 lb bulls. Gogen Yamaguchi killed tigers, so nothing surprises me

 

I personally have successfully defended myself against dobermans and Rotweilers (sp?). I killed a German Shephard once that attacked me. Sometimes I wonder why I go running with peoples crazy dogs around the place.

 

Fortunately we dont have bears, cougars, snakes or even poisonous spiders here. Dogs are the only problem in the cities. In the woods theres nothing but birds and the odd wild pig that runs away anyway

 

My sister raised many types of big dogs and fortunately I got used to dealing with them, even mad crazy ones.

 

Now a bear? Have you ever seen me run? You would in that case LOL

You've met our sheep then have you? It sounds like it. We only have a dozen but in winter when they're hungry and they see you coming with a bucket they attack as a mob. Walking across the field holding the bucket over my head trying to get to the food trough, with them jumping up at you is an experience, and once one of them got its foot fast down the front of my jumper which should have been filmed for TV. Fending them off without injuring them is the problem so I'd never kick them. If you hit them on the head with your fist they have very bony heads almost everywhere and it hurts, and hit them anywhere else and you sink in the wool. I've found the best thing is an open handed slap to the side of the face, seems to keep them at bay for long enough to get past them.

I've heard a story about a guy using BJJ against a vicous dog that attacked him (forget what type, i think a rotweiler or bullterier).. He choked the dog out, and after that the dog followed him around like its owner and loved him, and forgot about the other owner.. Kinda weird, but yeh..

The more modern martial arts used by the military has defences against dog attacks. I was reading an article last year about this.

 

1) ie dog bites your arm punch it square on the nose. apparently they don't like it

 

2) dogs have a weak sturnum. Grab both front legs and pull apart. kills dog.

 

Mail man martial arts!

Not to brag but I once got attack by a alien from a planet in the Vega system(I happened a chance to ask where he was from), two rottwiellers, a bear, a sheep, and my mother-in-law. Didn't know what to do, so I pretended to be dead, worked great.

Focus your Chi and channel it thru the Bear, therefore controlling its mind and making it your pet... WUTAH.
