Pro tip: A good, super bright flashlight is a decent self defense tool. If you're walking to your car alone in dim light, you can use it to scout your path. It also WILL gently caress up an assailant's vision so you can kick them in their balls and run away. I used this one all the time as a bouncer: https://www.surefire.com/e2d-defender/ It's pricey for a flashlight but it's the last one you'll ever need to buy. The beveled edges make it a great striking weapon too. Also you can carry it anywhere. I've taken mine on planes without a problem. One dude I threw out of a bar after blinding him with it said "that's brighter than the word of GAWD!" He literally went to his knees when I flashed it at him. isaboo fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Apr 11, 2024 |

Lol, yeah. I've seen that before. It is a handy and effective tool in the right situation but I'm not gonna endorse it as a fighting tool that necessitates taking a course. E: ha! Looks like that dude is also carrying a small malong, or handkerchief, in his back pocket. That can be a useful tool also. I used a bar towel for the same thing on occasion. isaboo fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Apr 11, 2024 |

I mostly kid, but I have pulled a visor cap down over someone's eyes while ejecting them from a club. And one time I saw another bouncer use a dude's oversized button down shirt to trap the guy's arm while dealing with him. And a tie is just something else to grab! isaboo fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Apr 11, 2024 |

Another often overlooked improvised self defense tool is the humble cigarette lighter! At a particularly nasty strip club I worked at, strippers would use one if a lap dance went sideways and the customer got too aggressive. A lighter to the chin, or hell, any part of the body will likely make an aggressor stop whatever they're doing.

Fun fact: Savate takes it's name from the French term for "old shoe". Traditional, old style Savate dudes used heavy boots and shoes. Most of the kicks in Savate are low and almost never above the groin.

Wear loose clothes, as the honey badger has taught us, having a loose external sheath allows someone to grab you and use that as a pivot point to swing around and devastate your attacker with a rising dragon fist.

Fun facts: The awesome film Ong Bak features not only muay Thai, but also some of the older Thai arts such as muay Boran and Ling Lom. The latter incorporates a lot of jumping maneuvers. Goon favorite film The Raid is chock full of Silat.

Bonus fun fact (?): I'm not sure if this is true, but supposedly the fighting style in the original "V" tv series (about the lizard aliens invading Earth) was inspired by Silat. The idea was that the art is so complicated and varied (and unknown to western viewers), that only aliens could have invented it. It's been so long since I've seen it that I can't even remember any fight scenes at all. This claim is probably bullshit but it made me laugh when an old Silat teacher told me.

The best thing you can do in any fight is to hit first and hard and try to end it there. Lol at doing any kind of fancy poo poo.

While this is true, and it's what I drill into my students, people forget that the other guy is thinking the same thing and probably has just as much adrenaline in them as you do.

I still think a block should be the first move. Knowing that the other guy will want to strike first. You block, he's exposed, you counter punch and finish it.

Blocking is what learning fighting really teaches you. Most folks don't have defense in their fighting toolbag.

Very important to learn to disassociate the surprise of being hit with the pain of being hit. You want 'ow, ok' not 'ow, what do I do'.
