Kuma Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 If yuo were attacked by an unarmed opponent and had to defend yourself, how would you?I've been wondering about this because I don't think punches to the face would cut it,I'm wondering about the fastest way to take someone down to the point where you can escape.I'd be all over them like a spider monkey.In all seriousness, as mentioned, way too many variables. My mindset though is you do whatever is necessary to survive.
yamesu Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Now, just recently, this same guy had a situation pop up that was similar; this time, he didn't wait, as he precieved an imenent threat; he trounced the guy, suddenly, catching him unawares. He didn't get beat down this time; instead, he ended up being arrested and charged with a felony.A good example of the flipside of all of the above.Its a had thing to train for what I would call "middle ground self defence".

MaxMarks Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 We teach the self defense striking priority as eyes, throat, groin. Even the lightest touch to the eyes causes someone to react - their hands go right to their eyes making for an easy escape. A strike or pushing into the throat causes people to react, caught, sputter buying time for escape. The groin is good to for obvious reasons but many guys learn on the school playground to protect this area well. Believe it or not, of the three, this is the easiest area to fight through. An important point to get across in self defense it to just do something. Don't get so hung up on what that something is that you don't react. Start hitting, clawing biting... what ever and buy you time to escape. The mission of my blog is to explore the connection between the skills learned in the dojo as a student of the martial arts and the skills that lead to a successful life. https://www.lifeskillsfromthedojo.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lifeskillsfromthedojo
Zaine Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 testicules strikes is the way to goI disagree. Adrenaline can over power the bulk of the pain from a strike to the testicles, in which case all you've managed to do is anger the attacker even more and make them more determined to attack you. A better thing would be to go for the throat. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/

A better thing would be to go for the throat.Im sure that there is some truth to this, however it greatly depends on the individual. I have seen countless mma fighters, who are very well conditioned athletes who are used to getting him, fold up like an accordian due to one well placed, all be it unintentional low blow. That being sad, eyes and throat are both great targets if you absolutely must escape from a situation.

As well as environmental awareness and the like.I don't think trying to teach "middle ground self-defense" is the answer, either. That will just end up getting someone hurt at the other end of the spectrum. The main thing is making sure self-defense training is all-encompassing, dealing with not only the physical attacks, but the events and situations that lead up to them. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
adolf84 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 my style is usually... hit and run if i think i cant won, but if i think the opponent is easy to beat, ill kick him up.. at this pellet stove inserts you find many info for your training
shadowspawn Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Can't go wrong with attacking the knee. It doesn't take much to snap a knee and even if the attacker is still determined to kick the crap out of you, you should be able to outrun them at that point. Groin, throat, eyes, spine, and the area behind the ears are all other alternatives. Generally speaking though, the knee is often the easiest target as an attacker is less likely to expect an attack for the lower body than one for the upper body. Plus if they're coming after you, chances are they're larger than you and thus reaching up for the head area might not be the best idea in terms of range.
vantheman Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I would start with a thumb to an eye or two. Next, I would try a groin strike, and finish it off with a kick or two to the big nerve in the side of the thigh. Unless they train muay thai that should keep them in pain for enough time to escape or find an improvised weapon.-VTM Van
