Self-Defense is Situational

L'idée de ce post a commencé de germer dans mon cerveau il ya quelques semaines, when I was in the store to spend my birthday money and found an article about self-defense positions. Le taekwondo est mon style de base, bien que nous ajoutons beaucoup 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. Moins 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, the tactics that you use to successfully repel a street attack depend much more on the circumstances that you find yourself in and less on the techniques that you use.

You may be a great grappler but if two street fighters confront you, like confronted Renzo Gracie last year, it is best to stay on your feet, where you can keep your eyes on both guys.

M.. Gracie, a phenomenal grappler, dispatched one of the muggers with a couple of punches and the other guy decided it was time to get out of Dodge. 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 vous êtes un attaquant et vous n'avez jamais été sur le terrain, 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. Nous enseignons également la canne parce que vous ne voulez pas faire, soit.

Arts martiaux traditionnels sont souvent une mauvaise réputation parce qu'ils enseignent “irréaliste” techniques. At the time the founder created them, the martial art served its function well. Cependant, 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 façon dont nous avons toujours fait”.

J'ai été dans la sécurité privée à St. Louis, MO for over twenty years and had opportunities to see what works and what does not work in two armed encounters, un certain nombre d'agressions de rue et deux émeutes. J'ai utilisé des tactiques différentes dans chacun, mais comme quelqu'un qui a fait Taekwondo pour 14 ans, Je n'ai jamais exécuté un coup de pied de filature.

The best street self-defense is to avoid confrontations entirely. N'achetez pas tard dans la nuit. Si vous ne magasinez tard dans la nuit, sortir dans les grands groupes et garer sous les feux de stationnement. Les criminels sont comme des cafards. Ils détestent la lumière. Do not flash money around. SEJOUR DE BARS. Et enregistrer les coups de spin pour sparring.
