hey_you Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Okay I'm 6 foot and 190 pounds. I'm looking for a style that will allow me to incapacitate up to about three people at a time. I'm young so age isn't a problem. Something that involves pressure points, throws, striking, and kicking (I guess that's pretty much all you can do) would be good. Also, knocking out and breaking some stuff is fine but I really don't want to screw up anyone's life--breaking someones knees so they can't work or something. Something that is a good defense against boxing is also a must since a lot of people I know box. Sorry if these requests are strange/difficult to accomodate. Thanks.
battousai16 Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 3 people at a time? don't you think you're asking for a little much? quite frankly, any style will do that for you if you train hard enough at it, right? anywho, i'll use this as a plug and suggest hwarang do. we have all of those. but there are really several styles that meet all of that criteria, if i'm reading it right. but yeah, hwarang do has all of that.

telsun Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Perhaps in your criteria you should include: within my vacinity. Check out your local schools and see if any take your fancy. If you have never trained MA before do not expect too much too soon. Everybody starts at the beginning. I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"
Kirves Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Well... trying to help out with your incredible demands: - Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (these people do practice defending against multiple assailants and cover all ranges of fighting) - Wing Tsun (spelled like this, not Wing Chun et.al., advertises that they have specific drills for up to three opponent situations) - Jeet Kune Do Unlimited (IMHO the best JKD style, JKD is usually, if taught properly, about realistic street fighting) - Krav Maga (another art that contains drills for multiple opponent situations) - Systema (another one with specific drills for multiple opponent situations)
hey_you Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 okay, the three people thing might have been a little much, but I just want to be comfortable with my fighting ability. I was looking at muay thai a little and it seems like it suit me well. I'm not sure though because it seems like it might damage me too much. But there is a BBJ place near where I live. I don't know much about it but it sounds cool. My biggest problem is I live in a smaller city and there aren't many schools for the less known arts. But please keep suggesting them because I plan on moving someday. Thanks.
Kirves Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 BJJ is good for one-on-one fighting. Very good. But multiple opponents... you are easily in trouble if you're alone. But that's fighting reality. You need to be incredibly good expert at fighting until you can beat numbers. One on one is easy with a bit of good training, but one on two is tough. One on three is very difficult and one on many is downright insane. No matter what you have studied and how long. Your best bet is to either avoid, or run from these situations. Run like Forrest Gump!
battousai16 Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 such a great movie... except i've never gotten the energy to watch it more than once "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
