Self-Defense is Situational

La idea de este post comenzó a germinar en mi cerebro hace un par de semanas, when I was in the store to spend my birthday money and found an article about self-defense positions. El taekwondo es mi estilo de base aunque añadimos un montón de Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and cane techniques into our system.

I expected to see realistic self-defense but found an article about using spinning kicks to ward off an attacker. Menos que 1 percent of the population can use a spinning kick with any degree of success in a self-defense situation. Instructors should not delude readers into thinking they could spinning back kick an attacker into a heap on the sidewalk.

Despite the claims of many instructors that their martial arts system is the best in handling any situation, las tácticas que se utilizan para repeler con éxito un ataque de la calle dependen mucho más de las circunstancias en que sienta que entra y menos en las técnicas que se utilizan.

You may be a great grappler but if two street fighters confront you, like confronted Renzo Gracie last year, lo mejor es permanecer en sus pies, donde se puede mantener los ojos en tanto los chicos.

Sr.. Gracie, un luchador fenomenal, envió a uno de los asaltantes con un par de golpes y el otro chico decidió que era el momento de salir del regate. Had Renzo taken the first guy to the ground and tried to choke him out, which Renzo was quite capable of doing, Renzo would have been vulnerable to an accomplice kicking or stopping him.

The goal of any street self-defense is to get away with as little injury as possible. Si usted es un delantero y usted nunca ha estado en el terreno, you had better learn ground self-defense. If you are a grappler and no one has ever punched you in the face, have your training partner put on big boxing gloves and let him or her try to strike you. También enseñamos a la caña, porque es posible que no quiera hacer, ya sea.

Las artes marciales tradicionales suelen tener una mala reputación porque enseñan “poco realista” técnicas. At the time the founder created them, the martial art served its function well. Sin embargo, so many arts get bogged down by trying to venerate the memory of the creator that it does not evolve and gets locked into archaic ways of doing things. All martial arts should adapt to the current conditions not stay bogged down in “la forma en que siempre lo hemos hecho”.

He estado en la seguridad privada en St. Louis, MO for over twenty years and had opportunities to see what works and what does not work in two armed encounters, una serie de asaltos callejeros y dos motines. He utilizado diferentes tácticas en cada uno, sino como alguien que ha hecho de Taekwondo 14 año, Nunca ejecuté una patada giratoria.

The best street self-defense is to avoid confrontations entirely. No vaya de compras por la noche. Si usted hace compras a altas horas de la noche, salir en grupos grandes y el parque bajo las luces de estacionamiento. Los criminales son como las cucarachas. Ellos odian la luz. Do not flash money around. PERMANECER FUERA DE BARRAS. Y guardar las patadas de giro para el combate.
