Hmm... very interesting guide. my english isn't very good, so bear with me. I have never actually taken a matial arts training class, but i have leanred much from my uncle in the means of self defense, and agressive defensive styles. I have devised a special fighting style, based off of what i have laened from my uncle. I live in las vegas, so it is necessary that i know such techniques if the need for self defense arises. and it has before, about 4 times.

So, here is a special small guide to my/my uncle's special technique of self defense.

As you have read above, physical conditioning is vital to being able to adequetly defend yourself or flee, but for those of you who are more, 'incapable' , this tactic of defense will likely serve you well.

it requires the use of great agility, so you need to have a linber, fast body to properly exercise this technique.

The first part of this technique includes the use of a weapon.

melee aggressive combat defense:

if you are walking along, such as in a park, by several enemies, use of a long weapon is useful, such as a tough, blunt staff, perhaps quickly fashioned from a fallen treebranch. use the more blunted end of the staff for stabbing attacks intead of the sharp end. this is a key tactic to this form of using a staff in defense. never give the enemies a chance to side attack you, but instead, get up close to the enemy, and use blunt attacking force. slash your makeshift staff on both sides of the enemy, freferably hitting his ribcage ara, and harmlessly knowcking the creath out of him/her. if the enemy is able to take this attack without flinching, resort a more fast paced stabbing attack. first stab your enemy with the tough, blunt end of your staff, then sideswipe his legs to take him down. be sure to be constantly swinging around to make quick jabs at the other enemies to disorientate them. if you are trapped, and the eneies are getting used to your attacks, resort to dual-weilding attacks. attempt to use two swordlike weapons in unison, and if the enemy is armed with say, a knifwe or gun, use these dual swods to grabs the wapon out of his hands and launch it into the air. then catch it and use it instead. if it is a gun, aim for your enemies' legs, as this is the most effective solution of disabling your opponent if they are very dangerous and this meathod of disabling them with a gun is normally legal in most of the world, allowing you to be able to avoid a court-matial or sueing by the opponent(s) you defended yourself from. if the weapon was a knife, aim for vital areas that will not kill the enemy, such as the lower spinal cord. in doing this, yoy will likely temporarily parilyze the enemy. in other methods, aim for your enemies' upper arms and shoulders, but aim for the back of their arms and the top of their shoulders, as anyplace else will likely ensue in massive bleeding and death of the enemy form puncturing an enemies' artery.

now, onto the next part. unarmed combat:

in unarmed combat, attempt to take down your enemy and knock him onto his frontside on the ground. aim for the legs in back of him to do this. once he/she is down, quickly make swift, hard kicks at their shoulders and elbows to keep them form getting back up. then, unless if your enemy is dazzed and unconcious form his arms being broken, leave him and get police. but if he is still armed to the point of still being a threat, swiftly but not too hard, kick his lower neck just below the 3rd vertebrae of his neck. this should effectely parylyse and disabel him witout permanent damage to him. although, if you attack him too extensively in this neck region, you may kill him. there are several other tacticas i haven't mentioned yet, those that include more defensive tactics that don't leave you so open to attack.

I'd like to add to this. Of course, you can't always expect to find suitable tree branches out of the blue. The most you could reall yhope for are some crispy twigs so I'd recommend carrying your own staff. A simple umbrella (the non-telescopic ones) will do. Now, there is a reason why it is advisable to attack with the blunt end in a crushing attack or a slashing attack with the pointed end instead of a stabbing attack with the piercing end.

Bashing and slashing, mainly, have the advantage that, immediately after the attack, your "weapon" is still free. For stabbing attacks, on the other hand, you'd still have to withdraw your staff (or knife, if you're using one) In the short span of time that your weapon is embedded is someone's flesh, chances are, in a one-to-many situation, his/her companions will attack you.



Like Lightmage has posted, aim for the temples and the ribs. These are usually enough to stun the enemy for you to create an escape path but, in the unlikely event that you're up against a bulky, unmoving meat wagon, "stab" the solar plexus. If your opponent still stands unscathed, you're out of luck.

I don't think it is advisable to swipe a person's legs with a staff. For heavier opponents, this will require massive strength. If you lack this, don't try it; you'd only be spending a long time trying to pull down a brick wall. This precious time will, in the worst case, enable your attacker to gain his bearings and finish you off.If you have the time, though, maybe you should go for the shin or the instep? I believe this causes much pain for a comparatively lesser effort.

Whirl your staff around as needed to confuse the enemy but don't be too flashy. All it takes is a few moments to distinguish between fatal staff wielding and phoney kung-fu. A determined, trained OR smart enemy can easily knock the staff out of your hands if you flourish it too much.



I'm afraid this is something I'd have to dismiss as downright improbable and impractical outside Chinese kung-fu action movies. First is the availability of twin sword like or arnis-like weapons. Unless you really do happen to carry a pair of arnis sticks with you at all times, I don't think this is something remotely likely.

Next, it is also improbable to wrestle a gun or a knife in an enemy's hands, much less launch it upwards. The most you can hope to achieve with a pair of sticks (or even machetes) is to either swiftly beat your opponent's hands to a pulp until he/she gives up his/her hold on his/her weapon or cross the sticks to "hold" him/her by the wrist and alter his aim. The latter maneuver might prove useful against a gunman whose finger is already on the trigger. However, that is also downright stupid considering the fact that, in using both arms to disable your opponent, you have left an opening you cannot defend immediately. See, with two of your arms locked to disable the hand holding a gun, you have left your abdomen open to a speeding healthy fist.

Lastly, just assuming that, through some inexplicable glitch in the laws of physics, you have managed to launch the weapon in the air, catching it is equally risky business, which could end up killing one of you. Some highly sensitive guns do fire with just a sneeze and others also fire with just a smart rap. I need not explain the dangers of catching an unsheathed blade.



Probably one of the world's oldest defense against unruly men: a swift kick to the groin

A bit late in congratulations, but, great post Lightmage.

I now need to take your new information into practice. I already try to keep a concealed weapon up my sleeve for self-defence, but in public settings I rarely bring anything more threatening than a sharpened pencil. Despite the sharpness of the pencil, I shall assume that a heavy blunt item permanently on hand couldn't hurt. Preparedness trumps scavenging, I suppose.

I've hit girls before...At a dance party some chick (who I swear I had no clue who she was) walked up to me with her friends...they were like 14 or some crap (I was about 15 at the time), and started talking crap to me, so I grabbed a few of my friends after the party closed and followed them outside and beat them up. The security guards didn't do anything about it either because it wasn't on the grounds. lol.

well dont want to insult anyone, but the pictures of some kicks is totally wrong, the positions are very vulnerable

secondly, if someone is caught in many people and its definite that he cannot beat them, its always a best idea of escaping from there,

its not like that i am some afraid guy, i am Brown belt Ninja, and had made many people unconscious on streets, but have to look on the circumstances, its not like that u have to fight every time to win

winning is not that u just beat them up

winning is that they wanted to fight, and u didnt let them fight, u win that way too!

Its all about Survival, not winning

our teacher teaches us how to survive

the things abt winning, and hotting, are all ring fight srt of things

Be a warrior not just a fighter,

coz being a fighter is a part of being a warrior, so make urself the better one of them.
