Self Defence.

[Repent Reloaded]

I have been to many self defence classes and other forms of martial art combat lesions, JuJitsu, Judo, Thai Boxing, Wu Shu.

They all have their strengths and weaknesses, then I came across the ultimate art, its streetwise, its cleaver and it can solve any problem, this art is new, made in the 20th Century by one magnificent race, the English, I have used it for many years without even knowing and Im sure you have aswell at some point in your life, mainly on somebody younger then you or somebody who has different opinions.... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: British Kung Fu!

Jitsu > British Kung Fu though

This clip although funny does make a point, if you choose an art for self defence, if you dont practise daily, doing the same basic routine every day, you'll forget it in a fight and get utterly twatted by the "british kung fu"

Also each art has a different level of dedication, for example Jitsu is a pretty complex art which would take years to get to grips with (able to use it effectively in a real fight) then you have Thai Boxing (closest art to real fighting) which you can use in a couple of months since the moves are so simple but so devastating (one of the most devastating arts)

Black belts who have done the arts for many years have been twatted by a random person, I think it comes down to the individual as well as the amount of training they do, remember not everybody is a fighter.

even if someone is amazin at an art, people fight in gangs now and guns are starting to get involved, its like expansion packs for DAoC new unfair shit is hitting our streets all the time, honour means nothing now

If you're crazy enough, start training Krav Maga. It's fast, efficient and brutal, quite different from the "traditional" self defence arts. The basic idea is how to stay alive, no matter what you have to do.

Krav Maga is the shit (israeli military of origin). But I think you're gonna have trouble finding classes that teach civilians.. it's ridiculously brutal

 

[Repent Reloaded]

I think I've seen that on Tv with the SAS or something, it might of been something else but the style gets updated to deal with guns (disarming+breakage) or sommit, I saw this woman disarm a guy who had an AK while breaking his fingers and arm.
The only thing that I dislike about Thai boxing, Krav Maga etc... is that you cant use it in a fight without really hurting somebody, most fights arnt extremely personal or life threatening and when ur taught only to break bones etc... and seriously hurt someone, its hard

 

[Lumikki]

Plenty of Krav Maga courses here in Finland atleast, it's easy to get in as long as you don't have a criminal record.

Yes I agree, it's way too brutal to use most of the moves in a normal fight, but big part of the civilian Krav Maga training is about how to control your skills so you don't end up killing people with it. Military / Police versions are a whole different story.

A friend of mine who trains it demostrated some moves and all I can say is wow, extremely efficient when done right and without unecessary force usage you don't end up with a body count The basic ripostes & counter strikes, blocks, kicks and chokes can come very handy for a small person like me and they are not hard to master either.

 

[swords]

I doubt i'd use most of the throws i know in a real fight, though my style does alot of locks, breaks holds counters and crit strikes.

 

[Sissyfoo]

My style uses a tazer.

 

[Repent Reloaded]

My current style is british kung fu (we'll call it) with some thai boxing thrown in. Im not gonna stand there in my thai stance and just take the shin bone out of somebodies leg in a controled manner, Im gonna run up and twat'em, let out some anger etc... and if they leave themselfs open I'll do a few thai moves, just do what you can imo, if you see an opening, take it.

YOU FUCKING SLAG!

 

[WiZe^]

Typical english hooligan

 

[Ala]

Ex hooligan thank you very much.

 

[Moo]

zippy would be the hard one

Back on topic.
Now we know how to defend ourselves against Physical attack, we move onto verbal abuse.

One of the pinacles of verbal self defence has to be the ''Im Rubber, you're glue'' style.
Though my sister swears by the ''You big Fat gay'' method.
Sadly theres a great lack of people using the ''Coherent argument'' method these days

I don't want another flame-repent-war in here, hence I cleaned this thread up a bit. Do not post random insults or off topic crap.
