Self-Defense is Situational

Ideen til dette innlegget begynte å spire i hjernen min et par uker siden, when I was in the store to spend my birthday money and found an article about self-defense positions. Taekwondo er min base stil selv om vi legger mye 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. Mindre enn 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, taktikk som du bruker til å slå tilbake en gate angrep avhenger mye mer av omstendighetene at du befinner deg i, og mindre på de teknikkene som du bruker.

You may be a great grappler but if two street fighters confront you, like confronted Renzo Gracie last year, det er best å holde seg på føttene, hvor du kan holde øynene på begge gutta.

Mr. Gracie, en fenomenal grappler, sendt en av ranere med et par slag og den andre fyren at det var på tide å komme seg ut av 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. Hvis du er en spiss, og du har aldri vært på bakken, 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. Vi underviser også stokk fordi du kanskje ikke ønsker å gjøre heller.

Tradisjonelle martial arts ofte får et dårlig navn fordi de lærer “urealistisk” teknikker. At the time the founder created them, the martial art served its function well. However, 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 “hvordan vi har alltid gjort det”.

Jeg har vært i privat sikkerhet i St. Louis, MO for over twenty years and had opportunities to see what works and what does not work in two armed encounters, en rekke gate overgrep og to opptøyer. Jeg brukte forskjellige taktikker i hver enkelt, men som noen som har gjort Taekwondo for 14 år, Jeg har aldri utført en spinnende spark.

The best street self-defense is to avoid confrontations entirely. Ikke handle sent på kvelden. Hvis du handle sent på kvelden, gå ut i store grupper og parkere under parkeringsplassen lys. Kriminelle er som kakerlakker. De hater lyset. Do not flash money around. BO ut av barer. Og lagre spin spark for sparring.
