Those poor Benedictines!!! :eek:
learn the super chi blast. and how to surround yourself with fire. cause no one likes to touch fire.
U Cant Train For A Street Fight. Being In The Streets Is Your Training, Because U Already Know What To Expect From The Idiots That Like To Start The Fight. Scouts Model “be Prepared”
My health teacher told me that if you get hit there hard enough you could go into shock. :eek:
I agree with sevenstar I belive the best way is to stay awarte of surondings use perefreial vision " Moon Eye". And there is nothing wrong with running or geting away from the fight you will still wake up in the morning a man or woman , the only thang that would be hurt is your ego and that heals in time. A great man named Mushashi once said " If you draw your sword you will die" this is a posibility in a street fight so decide if a name caling match or ego fight is worth yours or there life. Only fight when you have to and if you must use the “Lung Fu Gin Shin” (Power of tiger spirit of the dragon).
You practice kung fu like you have no tomorrow. You could spar, but what are the odds of you getting into a fight with a guy on the street who has done Muay Thai or Karate for 15 years?
Just practice your moves and they eventually become instinct. With enough practice, when someone punches you, you react anon by going into a cross stance so the punch misses, or you run through a sticky hand drill with precision. And that is just a mildly experience student. When you get good, you just start punching the limbs of your attacker away. But of course this depends on your attitude. You have the killer instinct or you don’t.
You’ve never been in a street/bar fight have you?
But of course this depends on your attitude. You have the killer instinct or you don’t.
And this is a different thing to what you just mentioned. You were talking about fine motor skills of punching small moving targets away, and now you’re talking about the hindbrain instincts. Very different.
To get to the fine motor skills in a fight, assuming it can be done, you need an extremely well-disciplined brain to give you the objectivity, the calmness (maybe even describable as cold-blooded) which is where the monklike aspects would have to come in.
The killer instinct you speak of is what exactly? Basic survival instinct is fight/flight. It is not a killer instinct, it is a hit and/or run away instinct. Killer instinct is also cold-blooded, the instinct of a hunter. Hunting animals know their prey is just that, weaker and defenseless, and they (the hunters) can’t think strategically because they are just operating on instinct, on patterns of behaviour.
Of course, humans were/are part-hunter. So assuming your survival instinct is fight/flight, at some point in any fight your attacker may become the weaker, your instinct may tell you to kill him. Our capacity to override this is what makes us human.
The only killer instinct you could therefore have is not innate, but learned. And that of a hunter in humans against other humans would be sociopathic/psychopathic.
Well done Matt.
Your advice is sound and in accordance with my experience of 12 years doorwork.
Key points to remember:
- Most street encounters start of verbally - if this is not handled properly then physical encounter is next.
- The attacker most of the time has the upper hand - he/she chooses the time/place/method of attack (most martial systems teach self defence and not self preservation - self defence requires the attacker to strike first - wrong/wrong/wrong)
- Most attacks are medium to close range assaults - this is most often a king hit
- 100% of street assaults start standing up
- Aggression over Aesthetics
- Simplicity over Complexity
find someone smaller and weaker than you
LOL if you think animals don’t have to learn to hunt. Lions have to learn strategy as well as how to kill a prey. LOL at what you said.
I agree, and lemme clarify what I meant as I didn’t 'splain it very well. When I mentioned targets and strikes, I am being very general. I decide whether I will punch or kick first, and whether it will be aimed at the upper or lower extremities. This is all based on the size and posture of the individual.
Glad you’re enjoying yourself. I like to spread a little happiness.
Now perhaps you’d like to explain where I said animals don’t have to learn to hunt, and how it’s relevant to the thread.
But BTW, lions don’t learn strategy. You are anthropomorphising. Strategy is planning based on reasoning and logical deduction. Lions may instinctively have a rudimentary capability for strategisation based on behaviour patterns and they may even be able to pass this on to their young. This does not contradict what I said.
Cheers for the clarification ewallace. We’re talking about the same thing.
Logical reasoning - lets see. If not A then B. At some stage a lion would figure to pounce a wilderbeast from the back not from the front (like where the horms are).
Learn? You can’t “learn.”
Prepare? Hell yes.
-
Knife, or multiple knives (or other sharp objects)
-
Gun. Any sort of gun helps
-
Martial Arts. This really helps too, I’m sure
-
Kung Fu bracers, especially for the Southern guys. A Sao Choy with a leather bracer with multiple metal points sticking out of it is going to kill someone
-
Be ready to turn into an absolute animal. By this I mean raking their face repeatedly, punching their throat repeatedly, jumping on them while they are down, slamming their head into cement, biting them in the throat, arms, nose, ears, lips, or any other place you can get to.
-
Don’t focus on fighting; instead focus on the complete destruction of your opponent in the most brutal, nasty way imaginable.
That’s all I have to say. . . . . .
shows your lack of confidence to think of going to such extremes. a good maer would most oftenly rely on a clean block and counter agaisnt an average treet fighter.
I don’t think lions ever pounce on wildebeest’s horns. Now wtf were you talking about again? :rolleyes:
Infrazael, I don’t agree: see my post about instinct. If you ingrain in yourself the instinct for your kind of overkill, add to it the situational awareness, then what you have is a fine start to becoming a sociopath/psychopath. I enjoy life too much, and I don’t live in where people value it so little.
On the other hand, I also value life too much to believe this nonsense. Believe me, I’ve had my share of streetfights and bar-room brawls, as well as working security, and this will work only against someone who does not really want to rip your head off… someone who is mostly bluff and bluster. Againsta real attacker, this naivety will get you killed.
I don’ think you should lose your composure just because your attacker gets a bit rough. I mean you’re supposed to be well trained.
Who said anything about losing composure?
That as nothing to do with what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the naivety of using a ‘clean block and counter’ getting your head taken off. Against one swing, or one dojo/kwoon practice punch already missing your head by several inches… maybe it’s OK, but against a concentrated barrage of wild swings, feints, and calculated dirty shots that many people use when they’re really having a go - which one strike are you thinking of blocking cleanly?
It’s pure fantasy.
Oh you mean against someone who’s just scapping. not something i worry about.
