aznkarateboi Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 how do you defend against a baseball bat attack?
Kaju_influenced Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 by running away!!!!! Well in any case avoid distance and try to bridge the gap between u and the opponent...other than that its up to you. "Sweat more in the dojo,bleed less in the street"Kajukenbo fighters axiom.
aznkarateboi Posted July 20, 2003 Author Posted July 20, 2003 suppose your unable to run away for some reason
telsun Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Well in any case avoid distance and try to bridge the gap between u and the opponent...other than that its up to you.Yeah keep close inside of the swing. Alternatively keep your distance and allow the swing to pass, or intercept the swing. JUST AVOID THE BAT. Then finish him with strikes to vunerable points, get the bat if you can, use it if you know how or get it well away so that he may not use it again. I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"
bigpopparob2000 Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 To be concise, there are only two possible courses of action: 1. Evasion. Ultimately, your'e dodging in attempt to avoid getting hit, or your running away as mentioned in one of the previous notes. Running away is my first choice. It might not look very tough, but whenever you find yourself about to be entangled in a physical confrontation, your basically considering a gamble. There's a chance your training will enable neutralize your attacker, but there's also a chance they won't. When you throw a weapon into the mix, the stakes get a lot riskier. I'm not a gambling man. As far as dodging goes, if your good and lucky, you can dodge a few swings, but you won't be able to do so forever by sheer probability. Eventually, your one of your attacker's swings will make contact unless you run away, or do #2 2. Jamming. If you must take on an assailant with a baseball bat, jamming is probably the simplest and, therefor, most effective technique. You basically get in a range too close for the baseball bat to be swung effectively. I could go on in a vain attempt to describe what I'm talking about, but http://www.totalwarrior.com/jam1.html will do a better job.
Red J Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 If someone pulls a bat, you need to either run or jam him before he can swing. You do not want to get hit with a bat. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
delta1 Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Assuming you mean that he swings it like a basebal bat, get inside as soon as he chambers for the swing and jam. If he's alreadystarted the swing when you get in, target the elbow with a hard block and start to work immediately/simultaneously with your other hand, feet, knees, etc so he can't recover and strike again. Destroy the man and control the weapon. If he's already started the swing, move back and away at @45' to get outside the arc of the swing. Immediately move in and check the return swing or jam his spin, depending on what he does. Then go to work. If he uses it more like a weapon than a sporting tool, you'll have to defend it like a weapons assault- however your style does this. Freedom isn't free!
