In 7th grade, my friend Jared got in a fight with Kevin. It was the same kind of deal as when I fought Kevin in 3rd grade -- we all gathered around in a big circle. But Jared was trying real hard to be cool so he had these enormous JNCO jeans that immediately fell down, and it was basically over but Kevin laid into it for a while, the entire time poor Jared trying to pull up his stupid gigantic pants.

I saw a fight where there was this scrappy kid who egged a fight on with another kid. The scrappy kid was doing fairly well for like 10 seconds until the other kid popped him in the stomach whereby the scrappy kid projectile vomited a bunch of of pieces of Kraft Dinner he had just eaten into the face of the other kid. That ended the fight.

First year of what you people overseas probably call secondary school there was some big dumb kid in our class who was much taller than anybody else because he was also two years older than everyone else. Reason for that was he already had to repeat two years during his impressive school career. Everyone was about 12 - 13 years old and this dumb gently caress named Edwin loved to kick smaller nerds around like he was some WWF character. I got some too during the year. I mean no biggie, that's how it goes right. He had a friend named Richard. Richard was 14 years old and had to repeat class just once and he loved to hang around with Edwin the bully. He loved to see Edwin smack the poo poo out of smaller kids until Edwin felt like Richard need to smack some smaller kids too. Richard needs to show his prowess as well so he convinced Richard to start a fight with some random kid at the schoolyard. That random kid happened to be me. After halfassingly pushing me around for a minute while a big crowd of schoolkids was encircling us to watch this spectacle he started to throw punches at me because Edwin kept shouting at him to not be a little bitch. I felt Richard wasn't really a fighter because his punches lacked confidence. In the meanwhile I got angrier and angrier mostly because of that dumbfuck Edwin yelling to motivate Richard to hit me harder. So I got really angry (i am autistic, when i get angry i get really angry) charged Richard and put him in a headlock with my right arm and stomped the poo poo out of his head with my left (i am a leftie) until a teacher came in between. We both got escorted towards the vice-principal through a crowd of schoolkids, some congratulating me - even GIRLS, while laughing at red faced Richard who was fighting against his tears really hard. Probably my most glorious moment till today Thing that still annoys me is that the vice-principal didn't listen to my story (told her very precisely the situation) and just punished us both the same as her conclusion was when two fight two are to blame. Edwin got away with it to continue kicking kids around for the rest of the year. Never heard of Edwin since as he had to leave school at the end of the year because of bad school results once again. I always promised myself to hurt him when we meet at a later stage in life but we've never ever met since.

Rad-daddio posted:Krav Maga seems cool to me bc they always talked about on Archer. I'm not a fan of Krav Maga. Way back in the mid to late 90s when KM was becoming more well known in the martial arts world, the owner of the gym I was training at sent me and another guy to an Official Krav Maga Instructor Training Seminar. He wanted us to be certified so we could offer it at our gym. I think it was a week long course, but we bailed after the 3rd or 4th day. The first day was going through the conditioning routine, which honestly wasn't all that bad. After that, we noticed that there was a lot of emphasis on marketing and licensing during breaks between the combatives portions of the course. It's been a long time but I think there was a rule that "official" KM schools had to be 50 miles apart. Much like the early days of BJJ, there was a lot of infighting over trademarking and copywriting the Krav Maga name. That turned us off and when we told the gym owner about it, he said "yeah, gently caress that." He wasn't interested in getting into the politics of a martial art. There was that bit of nonsense, but we also thought the instruction was pretty poo poo. Like Kenpo, there was too much emphasis on specific techniques and not enough on the underlying principles - too much "do this" and not enough "this is why". I mean, anyone can make up a specific technique for any attack. Techniques don't matter, the physics underlying them do. Also, if something is useful it will be found in most martial arts and KM is nothing special. Maybe it has changed by now, in fact I'm sure it has since it's more widespread, but every KM dude that came into my gym got schooled by my students so I've never been impressed. The KM knife defense stuff I've seen was atrocious and dangerous. Rad-daddio posted:i think it would be fun to get beaten up by old timey street toughs. Fun fact: The early days of popular boxing (c. 1890s) were basically just two bros squaring off and trading punches without much evasive footwork. They held their hands in a predominantly palm up fashion, with forearms vertical, not at all like the more common 45 degree angle style that came later. I'm not saying that's how they fought exclusively, but a fighting stance can tell you a lot about the style. Footwork was basically non-existent. Some fighting historians say that changed when Western fighters were exposed to Filipino boxing in Hawaii and the Philippines. Since the Filipino arts were largely based on the stick and the knife, holding a stick or blade with your palms facing you angled the weapon straight out to the side. If you pick up a stick and do that yourself, then simply turn your fists palm down, you'll quickly see how much better it is both offensively and defensively. The footwork for stick and knife fighting is essential, so once Western boxers started getting rocked by the Filipino empty hand fighters, they adapted the Filipino style. How true that all is, I don't know but I've heard that from a lot of old school Kali and panantukan (a form of Filipino boxing) dudes. Internetjack posted:Ethics question: If you were in a fight another person started for no good reason, where no one was watching and you knocked them down/out, would you grab their wallet and take any cash they had on them? Leaving the rest of the wallet behind of course. I've never done that but I did break the fingers of a dude after I knocked his rear end out. He was literally a Nazi though so gently caress that guy. I've seen other people spit and piss on someone they've put out. isaboo fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Apr 18, 2024 |

the best thing krav maga did for me when I did it during the summers or between sports when I was younger is that a lot of it was training to spar while also having my ear drums blown out by a loud siren or being put in other stressful situations while training/sparring and I don't know if that was unique to my particular gym at the time. the techniques are all garbage.

Thanks for the KM info. My main interest in self defense is a mortal fear of knife attacks. Honestly whatever style or discipline is the best for thwarting and then evading an attacker would be perfect for me.

Rad-daddio posted:Thanks for the KM info. Serious question - why do you have a mortal fear of a knife attack? Do you live a hosed up lifestyle or in an area where that poo poo happens? IMO try Silat first, Kali second. Silat (at least the styles I've done; there are several hundred) is generally focused on being closer to a blade than kali. Kali is unique in that you will start weapons training right away. On day one you'll have a baton and probably a blade handed to you. Empty hand training comes later. As with any fighting system - Krav Maga, BJJ, Karate, whatever - if you don't train with weapons you're not training in a realistic manner for the street. And you need to do it consistently - the skills are perishable. If you're serious, PM me and tell me where you're located and I might be able to recommend someone in your area especially if you're in the US. Vile_Nihlist666 posted:First rule of knife fighting: you ARE getting stabbed. I've ran away from a blade, I've been cut and I've done the cutting. It really comes down to the encounter and how it starts. Again, there's no real "knife fighting" in the modern era but there are ways to mitigate the danger of someone pulling out a knife. The first time I ever got cut was while training with live blades. It wasn't a very bad cut but it wasn't fun. IMO, if whatever knife discipline you're learning doesn't break out the live blades once in a while it's not worth it. We obviously don't go at full speed and power, but even at 30-40% intensity it's eye opening. You'll gain a healthy respect for what you should and shouldn't attempt.

So, one of my flaws is I like to fight, I WANT to fight. It's like an itch inside me. And I've realized I feel this way towards all of existence, all of reality. I want TO FIGHT. Reality. Existence. Knowing that I cannot win, BUT. The nobility of the hopeless fight is reward enough.....

Serious answer; I watched a video of some guy in NYC who confronted a dude who was having some kind of mental health crisis and was damaging cars. The guy who got stabbed was sitting on a nearby bench with his date, and went over to confront the guy and promptly got stabbed and bled out. Also, back when my kids were in scouts we got back from a camping trip and our sleeping bags were soaked from getting rained on. Another dad went to a local laundromat to dry his and his son's gear out and suggested I do the same. I just went home and hung my stuff out to dry. Anyhoo, he got confronted by an aggressive panhandler at the laundromat, some kind of fight ensued and he got stabbed and bled out. ...I guess it's a legit phobia for me. So my main SD goal would be to be able to defuse/avoid/evade any situation where a knife gets brought out.
