2011-11-18T04:29:00.006-08:00

i would like to knoe if TKD is good for a street fight or defending yourself in prison against being bullied, etc etc...

i want to take a matial art so i can defend myself very good, and i was just wondering if TKD is usefull for these cases, (especially on the street and bullies in prison)...

please help

Is TKD usefull and good for a street fight ?
Wouldn't you rather avoid ever being in the same environment as bullies in prison?

You could start by not getting involved in street fights.

Just a thought.

TKD if well thought will give you good defensive skills, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've managed to spend the last 16 years without getting into a fight. Mainly, because I have a real job to go to in the morning. I can't be bothered with proving stuff to street punks. I have way better things to do, and so should you.

Take care.

Reply:im a balck tag in tae kwon do and yes it does help, u larn alot about self defence and getting out of difficult grips that people can put you in, one of my instructors once broke someones jaw by doing a spinning kick that he learnt in class, the guy was in hospital for 3 days lol

Reply:learn to run very fast thats whats good for street fights and bullies in prison because nowadays people carry weapons and if you stand and fight you will most likely get stabbed or bashed in with some blunt object just run like forrest gump
Reply:Tae Kwon Do is an extremely effective martial art, but Judo or Jujitsu are better for defensive/counter-attack moves as they both use the movement of your opponent against themselves.
Reply:Yes any martial art is good for your own defense in street fights and etc, its up to the individual to have enough heart to fight the fight, and how well you apply your martial arts skills in a fight, it all depends on the individual, if your not good at what you do, you can know any martial art and get your butt kicked by a regular street fighter, and its also up to your mental toughness too.
Reply:I will tell you this before you make a BIG mistake. First off any type of martial arts or fight training turns your body into what they call in courts, A DEADLY WEAPON, If you are trained in any form of Martial arts and you use it on someone for any reasons other than self defense you have basically used a deadly weapon. I have a friend right now serving 15 years for attempted murder with a deadly weapon, he was trained in Martial arts someone tried to rob him and he took matters into his own hands, there was no witnesses to the ordeal so they did not take his word now even for self defense my boy has already served 6 years and has quite a few more to go. I would say just by asking questions like this you should find something else to do with your spare time.

Reply:I think you and many who have answered this question have the wrong end of the stick about martial arts.

Martial Arts is not just for the body and if you train with only that thought in mind then you will only experience a little of what Martial Arts has to offer

Martial Arts is also for the mind

A Calm Mind can overcome most situations

However if you are hell bent on learning a Martial Art then i would suggest 'Hapkido' as this not only trains you against normal attackers but also those attackers who like many now have trained in other Martial Arts

"Hapkido practitioners train to counter the techniques of other martial arts as well as common "unskilled" attacks"

so in answer to your question

is TKD usefull and good for a street fight ?

the answer is No if you happen to be on the receiving end of someone who has learned Hapkido
Reply:any form of martial art is useful in any fight

i went for shotokan years ago and it keeps me fit

but before you decide just bear in mind guns and knives have the edge on the streets so try to fight in the arena
Reply:TKD would be good if you were good at it which would take a long time, also if you were good at any martial art but was not of the frame or mind to use it with 100% ccommitment on an attacker it would be useless to you. ie would you be able to push your finger all of the way into somebodies eye or bite a piece of flesh of a person in a street fight? if not in prison you would lose anyway. the reality is that you want to hurt the other person more than and quicker than they can hurt you in order to end the fight.
Reply:Any martial art is only as good as the practitioner. I wouldn't recommend Tae kwon do, but if used properly it can be decent. If you are planning on going to prison, learning to keep quiet and be inconspicuous would probably be very helpful. For prison, I'd use an art with more hand techniques.

I sincerely hope you don't plan on doing something you could go to jail for.
Reply:Though I do not much like TKD.I think it's ok.my favourite is Muay Thai though it uses knees and elbows but its has a really little amounts of ground technics.So my choice for street fights and prison emergencies would be the MMA fighting styles.You can pick up any martial arts moves bit by bit and form an ultimate martial art of your own.You can pick a little from mercyless systema to judo takedowns to wrestling ground moves and many more.Good Luck, Train Hard.
Reply:If that's your only option in your area, then I say go for it. As an art in the United States, which is the only area I am entitled to speak about, Taekwon Do is a shadow of what it once was. The techniques have been watered down due to sport competition and the whole system is full of instructors who have no legitimate claim to their credentials because, nowadays, anyone can get a black belt in Taekwon Do.

Of course, the level of instruction you get is entirely dependent on your instructor. I know some TKD guys who are punks and wouldn't last five seconds in anything approaching a real fight, but I also know some TKD guys who could break my femur with a roundhouse kick. So it's all dependent on how "traditional" and "conventional" your instructor is.

You seem to want a more realistic approach to your martial arts, so you should ask the TKD instructor if his classes are geared more towards self-defense or toward sport competition. You should watch a class or two and see if that school is where you want to be.

But as a whole, I'd say that Taekwon Do is not the art you're looking for. You'd be better looking for a Krav Maga or Brazilian Jiujitsu class. You should also check with your local YMCA and police department to see if they offer any civilian self-defense courses.

Good luck.
Reply:My best advice to you (from experience) is this: Sure, TKD is better than nothing, but if you really want to be good with your hands, find a REAL boxing gym. The ring experience you gain hitting and getting hit will be 1000 times better than anything else you can do.

After you have a few fights in the ring under your belt, THEN you can study another martial art if you want, confident in your abililty to hit and take a hit.
Reply:like any other martial art....it depends on what you learn at the school you decide to train at.....some TKD schools concentrate on flashy crap that has no practical use while others will teach self defense
Reply:It will help you against untrained fighters. It won't help you in prison. I don't know why you are planning to go to prison, but TKD won't help you there, fellow gang members will. Jiu-jitsu is the perfect art for self defense. You will learn to strike, grapple, kick and submit an opponent. Find a mixed martial arts school based on Jiu-jitsu.
Reply:I'm a blk belt in TKD and 7th ku in ninjutsu as well as a varsity wrestler.Now if you are training for a straight up fist fight TKD is a useful martial art as long as you get good at the kicks, now if you want to prepare yourself for a real confrontation that may involve weapons you should do ninjutsu. I know that alot of people say that ninjutsu and ninjas don't exist but if you look up kashiwa bujinkan ninjutsu dojo you will find that it is very real. It will train you how to defend against a variety of attacks as well as how to put down some serious punishment. It also gets you really fit.
Reply:yes but not much. try ju-jitsu it help you controle a fight to either heart someone or keep them from hurting you. anthing that focus mainly on self defense can help.
Reply:From most of the TKD I have seen, no.

Simply because that TKD is based mostly off kicks, and anything above a low kick is too dangerous.

First sports TKD is just about out of the question. It's based off a point-based sports competition. Don't even bother.

Ok, assuming you find a decent school not based on sports, you have to remember, even average thugs know how to do a bum rush tackle. Unless you happen to know at least the basics of groundfighting, I wouldn't bother kicking because of the weakened balance. Also, you have to remember, you're probably wearing heavy shoes outside. It feels considerably different than kicking barefoot on a soft mat.

And no matter what, you need good hand to hand strikes and especially defense. And a lot of TKDers I know don't really have much in that regard.
Reply:Some people believe that training in the martial arts will cause or acerbate violent or aggressive behavior. Most people have been exposed to the martial arts though martial art movies. Other than a few exceptions, such as Karate Kid and the Kung-fu television show, these depictions of the martial arts are always associated with violence. Recently, the popularity of televised unrestrained fighting tournaments has perpetuated this theme. While the martial art are based upon warlike, violent behavior, they also use ritualistic behaviors that seek to avoid or control violence and they train to make these behaviors a part of ones life.

Martial art masters claim that their arts reduce stress and violence in their practitioners, and thus, in the communities in which they live. These are lofty claims, but are they true? Are these claimed benefits any different from those that gained from other sports activities? What specific aspects of martial arts training bring about these changes? If these claims are true, then is martial arts training an effective means to treat people with violent tendencies?

Stress and Violence Reduction

A few studies have shown that a single session a high physical output activity, such as jogging, weight lifting, or a martial art may reduce tension, anxiety, depression, and anger-hostility in participants immediately after the activity. However, more research in this area is needed before any definite conclusions may be drawn about the short-term effects of martial arts training.

In contrast, there are many studies that have examined the long-term effects of martial arts training; most of which have shown positive psychosocial changes in participants. Many of the studies have assessed martial artists with different belt ranks or time of participation. In general, there appears to be an inverse relationship between belt rank or length of time practicing a martial art and anxiety, aggression, hostility, and neuroticism; but there appears to be a positive correlation with self-confidence, independence, self-reliance, and self-esteem. While these results seem encouraging, most of the studies did not account for students who had negative traits and dropped out of the activity and they did not use control groups. Some studies suggest that the style of martial art may be relevant; that certain martial arts might lead to changes more quickly than others might. These results are tempered by the results of some studies that found no effects of martial arts training on personality traits.

When amongst family members, you are forced to deal with family problems. When at work, you are forced to deal with work matters. When at Taekwondo class, you are forced to deal with Taekwondo training. You must deal with your family daily and you must deal with with your job practically every day, but you only deal with Taekwondo training two or three times a week. While training in Taekwondo, all your thoughts about your family problems and work problems are suppressed as you concentrate on your training. Therefore, during the time you are training, you are able to forget your cares and woes and the stress they cause. Not only are you able to reduce your stress while in class, the relaxation techniques you learn in class help you deal with stress more effectively while out of class.
Reply:look mate im sorry to be the one who tells u this but in my opinion tkd looks very impressive and is a great sport art. But in the street you would be better of using an art that is geared for street fighting like wing chun.(much more direct and is proven to work for self defence.)

Isn't wrestling the most important skill in a street fight? So you can pin em down and punch em repeatedly?

2011-11-18T04:29:00.005-08:00

You always hear that brutal street fights are determined by who gets the first punch in. But from all the fights I have seen, the person who can pin the other person's arms to the ground and get on top of the other person and punch them in the face over and over and over wins. Because the other person usually cannot push the other person off of them. I have seen some brutal fights like that where the person just has free shots at the other person's face. Even worse, nobody breaks it up sometimes. You would think a person could get killed that way. Seems like most fights finish up on the ground.

Isn't wrestling the most important skill in a street fight? So you can pin em down and punch em repeatedly?
The two baddest fighters around Matt Hughes and Chuck Liddell come from wrestling backgrounds. Both all-Americans in college. But you need more than just wrestling skills, but wrestlers who learn how to punch and apply submissions are the most dangerous not some martial artists that throw those wild kicks and punches that rarely ever connect, they are always the first to be taken down. Anything goes in street fighting though so watch out for weapons.
Reply:Use gun!!!
Reply:That's ground fighting though, not wrestling. They are really similar though.
Reply:No...I would go with some form of karate mainly because of the defense. blocking shots is key
Reply:I don't think so. I mean, a good martial artist that is skilled in evasion techniques would be able to get out of any wrestling hold and then proceed to do lots of damage when you are off balance from trying to make the hold
Reply:If you somehow ended up on the ground under an assailant, there are other techniques to use to get someone off of you besides wrestling. Pressure points and gouging certain areas can cause enough pain to make someone want to get off of you. That is a last resort since the goal is not to get into that kind of situation. If your arms are pinned, you can also use your legs if you're flexible enough. They would have a really hard time trying to pin all your limbs while still punching you, though.
Reply:Yes, wrestling will be the most important skill--so long as the other fighters are adhering to the NO-SWITCHBLADES rule.
Reply:You're partially correct. But in a real, no rules, no intervention street fight, the most important skill is defending against quick damage. Let me elaborate.

Yes, each fighter is going to go for first clean hit. Some skilled fighters will try to attack with kicks due to longer reach and greater leverage.

If you can control ground, that's an enormous advantage.

But what you don't factor in is weapons. Not knife / gun, but available on hand - a bottle, a pipe, a bat, a stick. If one fighter takes advantage of makeshift weapons on hand, all the rest of the skills becomes secondary to minimizing damage and disarming the armed fighter.

Just my limited experience.
Reply:Mi kick you real hard! Everybody was kung fu fighting! That ***** was fast as lightning!
Reply:In the few altercations I've been in I have decidedly won them. It wasn't because of pinning them, but because I totally disabled them. One incident I threw a chair at someone. I didn't do much damadge, but shook them up enough that they couldn't think straight and I was able to make quick work of an off balance opponent. The big trick is, who is crazier, more creative and can create more mayhem in said brawl, not who's the better wrestler.
Reply:Grappling.. is important.. ground fighting included. Wrestling is merely a part of it. A FREAKISHLY important part, but none the less it is not the complete package. now.. you come at his *** with Wrestling, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai.. then.. he will cry and beg for mercy.. while he gets out his weapon and prepares to slay you unless you practice like Krav Manga or the like that uses those arts to legitimately deal with weapons.

-add. **.. "WTF.. WHO PINS PEOPLE'S ARMS DOWN IN A FIGHT.. PLZ EDUCATE YOURSELF.
Reply:yeah yeah yeah. agree.
Reply:NO.

Any wrestler attempting to grab a good martial artist is likely to find themself on the receiving end of a two handed hammer fist to the back of the neck. Done right, this could end the fight.

Or a MA could use a joint lock to prevent the wrestler from doing much except calling for his mother.

Ground fighting is good, but there is a big differance between wrestling and ground fighting. Wrestling is a sport while ground fighting is often taught as both a sport and a defense (taking out eyes, biting, breaking joints).

And, interestingly enough, I spoke with a co-worker that does BJJ and Muay Thai. He said he was involved in a fight in which two guys started to fight and then when one was winning, another person joined in by kicking the winner in the head.

NEVER let a street fight get to the ground.
Reply:A street fight is way different than any other type of fighting. And that way is "anything goes". Eye gouging, groin attacks, knives, even guns. It's important to know when to walk away. For example, if you meet some dumb@$$ who's a "toughguy" and wants to pick a fight, he's probably with all his "homies" and they're all probably packin'. (It's always the toughguys who pack a gun or a knife). Walk away. As hard as it is, and despite what some believe, your life is worth more than your status. Use what you know as self-defense. And it is always good to learn some ground skills. Karate, Tae Kwan Do, okay whatever. If the fight ends up on the ground, what's all that chop-saki $#!+ gonna do then?

The fight goes to the ground. Get your fists; elbows; whatever you can in, look for an armbar; a kamora; break their f***ing arm. Walk away. Seem brutal? Not if they picked the fight. It's you or them.
Reply:street fights usually end up one the ground, therefore you should get into wrestling and bjj
Reply:Simple. End the fight quickly... if someone tries to spear you, open hand chop him in the neck or whack him in the eye with your thumb. That will put him up in a hurry. With a street fight you want to end it in a few seconds, rolling around on the ground with some stranger is never a good idea.
Reply:This is a very amusing thread. I love how majority of people claim they can easily get out of any hold or locks and how easy it is to evade shoot. Also some of technique on where to punch or apply pressure point are very questionable.

First of all wrestler are extremely strong. I have never meet any wrestler that are weak. So it is very unlikely someone who stand in horse stance and punch air everyday would be able to generate enough power or speed to deliver a punch that will knock or cause wrestler to goes of balance.

Wrestler are also extremely FAST! They can easily close gap and make your punching or kick uneffective. They're also dangerous in clinch. So it's not like most people can just evade them without effort.

Wrestler also close gap to make it even harder to evade shoot. Most people who don't train in some kind of realistic ground fighting martial arts (bjj, judo, etc...) wouldn't know how to sprawl at all. Also a good wrestler could easily knock a person out or knock air out of them big time with a good shoot.

Even if someone can "evade" the shoot then the wrestler can alway suplex, throw, or sweep the person.

Also if you're under a wrestler and getting your face pound in, it's not like you will really think and feel around for spot to apply pressure point. You will most likely be trying to cover your face. Your legs will be pretty useless if you're lay on your back with someone on top of you.

So all of you who think that a simple evade, pressure point, chop, or whatever other tricks you have up yoru sleeve STOP talking about how other style are so damn easy to beat! Those who have no fear are usually the one that get their *** kick the hardest because they're so fukking cocky and have absolutely no clue of what other people are capable of! So until all of you learn some ground fighting and spar for real with someone who wrestle, do mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, etc... you should keep your mouth shut and stay in your gym where you're safe!

To answer the question, yes wrestling is a extremely effective style if you know how to use it correctly and othe other person don't know how to fight on ground. However if the person know how to fight on ground, you better know what the hell you're doing otherwise you will have a cast for months.
Reply:Not exactly. Are there more than one attacker? If so, wrestling or ground fighting won't do crap. The second attacker is going to beat the snot out of you with kicks while his buddy has you pinned down. The real answer, and all true fighters and students of the fight game know, that you have to be sound in all aspects of the game: The standup, the takedowns, and the ground (including escapes). Usually, every day blokes are sound in only one part. When put into an uncomfortable scenario, they get the snot beat out of them. If you are sound in the standup i.e. boxing, muay thai, sakate, bo fu, etc., it pays to know how to defend the takedown or how to escape from the ground so that you can standup again and be in a position of your strength.

Get it? Train clean. Eat Clean. Good luck to you.

South Park characters - Who will win these street fights?

2011-11-18T04:29:00.004-08:00

Tell me who you think would win between these South Park characters. Give a short reason after each choice. Please try to be civilized. To even be considered for Best Answer, you have to answer all items, and give a short reason for all choices. In other words, Earn Your Points.

Here are the rules: These are street fights. No weapons! No gloves. No home court advantage. The fight is over when the other fighter is knocked out, or says "I give" (or tries to say it).

1. Cartman vs Token

2. Stanley vs. Kyle

3. Kenny vs. Butters

4. Jimmy vs. Timmy

5. Mrs. Garrison vs. Mr. Mackey

6. Slave vs. Chef

This Question was inspired by Euripedes B. Thank you!

South Park characters - Who will win these street fights?
1. Token cause cartman is fat so he'll be too slow, plus one time kyle punched him and he cried like a baby

2. Stanley, i think he'll win cause he has a lot of practice fighting his sister shelly, he might not win against her but i think he would win against kyle

3. Kenny cause butters is a HUGE push over, i feel REALLY bad for him and he's very naive so kenny will probably trick him somehow

4. Jimmy cause he could beat timmy with his crutches

5. "mrs." garrison would kick mr mackey's butt cause he's like an angry ****** all the time, like the episode where him and the lesbos fought the persians, Mrs. garrison would totally win

6. Chef would win cause Slave likes being tied up and beaten so it's a win win situation

Reply:1: Token, because after all those years of predijice against him from cartman, this is a perfect chance to teah him lesson by some shodow boxing, besides, fat people cant fight for dick, after 5 seconds of movment, the lactic acid takes over them completly.

2. Stan, because kyles pussy morals would come out, then out of the blue get soccer puncheds and get knocked out cold.

3. Kenny, because what does he have to loose. Butter drinks his own pee.

Who would win in a street fight?

2011-11-18T04:29:00.003-08:00

a technical fighter like a boxer or someone in kickboxing etc.

or a street fight who just throws punches like crazy

Who would win in a street fight?
The question of a boxer vs a kickboxer has been answered. Although a kickboxer has more weapons, the boxer would win through sheer punching power. Now that has probably changed with the advent of mma, as a mixed martial artist would probably prevail.

Now a trained fighter is always going to win over an amateur who just swings for the fences.

Pick a fight with Chuck Liddel and see what happens!

Would a Judoka be able to properly defend himself in a street fight ?

2011-11-18T04:29:00.002-08:00

Would someone that has around 3 years of experience in Judo be able to properly defend himself in a street fight agaisnt a normal average guy.

Judo really doesn't seem agressive, so would a judoka be able to use only judo moves to attack his opponent. Would Judokas still use their fists in a street fight, or would they stick only to judo moves.

BASICALLY, what I'm asking is,... is learning Judo going to give you a significant edge in a street fight.

Would a Judoka be able to properly defend himself in a street fight ?
Does a bear crap in the woods? : P
Reply:surely. but i would suggest jujitsu. works 4 street fights or if u r in the CIA! ;)
Reply:Judo like all martial arts has it’s place. Can someone defend themselves with Judo? Yes! But the main focus shouldn’t be on what style a person is using but rather the person him/herself! If you have the warrior spirit meaning the willingness to close and finish the fight and the skill to do so then the majority of the time you’ll come out victorious. Still there are always the variables that will plague you such as: what if the guy on the streets is shirtless and you have only been working on gripping the jacket on the GI then how will you fare? Judo is a sport and should be treated as such although you may be able to defend yourself utilizing it you’d do a lot better practicing in a martial art design for self defence.
Reply:Of course it will.

The techniques being taught will be useful in any aggression situation. I am not advocating street fights in any way and I think you should stay out of them if you can (and 99.9 percent of the time, you can), but yes, judo will help you if you're ever in one.

I knew a woman who was a black belt in judo (second dan or so, I'm not quite sure). She was 5'6", not a big person. She owned a business and one day, a much larger man tried to rob her with a knife. Next thing the guy knew, he was on the floor, is arm was twisted at the joints, he had dropped the knife and he was in horrible pain, begging her to let him go.

That black belt would take you more than 10 years to acquire with diligent study, but you get the idea. The technique are definitely effective.

I suggest you take it.

There's nothing glamorous or honorable about winning a lot of street fights, though ;)
Reply:Naturally, look at Mr. Mike Swain

he could woop ya while he is trying to direct you in the proper way to act in public.

Champion, and much more.
Reply:absolutely. streetfight almost always end up in grappling after 2 to 3 punches. and if this happens, the judo guy will have the advantage if he recovers himself immediately.

i've seen many streetfights and they it always go this way: the attacker swings 1 or 2 punches, even a kick sometimes , but this being a streetfight the defender can run around coz there are no rings or cage. another punch might bring them closer in a clinch. judo guy wins!

i haven't seen a streetfight where a guy was beaten with a combination of more than 4 consecutive punches. there has to be a clinch at some point.
Reply:Absolutely. In street fights, most likely the opponent will have clothes on, which will simulate a gi. And most street fights almost always end up in some sort of clinch. The average street fighter just doesn't have that sort of training to defend a well executed technique. It could even be something as rudimentary as a Ouchi Gari or Osoto Gari. You also have to realize they won't know how to properly fall, so the impact of the technique would be very painful.

Oh and don't forget about all the submissions and chokes available once you get the fight to the ground.
Reply:I wouldnt favor a throwing or grappling art strictly for self defence.

possibilities like concealed weapons or 'friends' are all to real in an unavoidable serious street fight.

i would prefer a striking art like kung fu or mua thai.

i would love to learn ju-jitsu at some point. im planning to take it up once i feel proficient in kung fu, if only to be able to hold my own in that 'field'.

at the end of the day any *serious* training is valuable. even if its only for the mind set.
Reply:You would have the same chance as a wrestler or boxer.

Judo teaches self-defense tactics through its kata in the upper dan (black belt) ranks.

Three years really isn't a long time in Judo. That is probably an orange or green belt level.

i almost forget... If no one is looking and you kick him in the balls. its his word against yours.

And if he takes you to the ground... don't be afraid to push (DONT JAB,) a thumb into his eyes. It will distract him long enough to get your fist into the opposite eyes.

Don't bring a knife. Over half of all stab victims are stabbed with their own blade. And that's coward stuff.

A street fight is bad. Avoid them, they end in hospital visits. That said, fight for your life. Fight dirty. Fight like you're scared, you will be.

Who would win in a street fight ,Chuck Noris, Bruce Lee,or Ken Shamrock?

A street fight with no rules or time limits.

Who would win in a street fight ,Chuck Noris, Bruce Lee,or Ken Shamrock?
Chuck Norris would win with a kick to the face to all at the same time!
Reply:chuck norris... he never loses.
Reply:Bruce Lee. No question.
Reply:I think Ken Shamrock. It was demonstrated in the UFC and another tournaments that the close combat and much important the floor struggling (I don't know the exact name), it's essential and decisive in a one to one combat. Jet Kune Do I think has very little of this techniques and Karate too. The wrestlers, judo men and jiu jitsu fighters can stand a couple of hits until achieving his goal, reach close combat and make a press, throw you to the floor and struggle until they make you an unbreakable grip or something. Then you're lost.
Reply:Maybe Ken if he Clinches? Because he knew some Shoot Fighting! But Bruce lee was trained by grappling by Gene Lebell! CHUCK NORIS WOULDN'T EVEN LAST WITH KEN SHAMROCK! So Bruce Lee would win!
Reply:Street fight: eye jabbing, low kicks, biting, strikes to the throat, small joint and digit manipulation, possibly objects in the surroundings that can be used as weapons, ripping ears, clawing with hands that get shoved in to uncooked rice.................... Come on, bring all the cowboy boots and steroids you want to that fight and speed is still king.

Real Fight: Bruce

Point Fight: Chuck

NHB MMA: Ken
Reply:Bruce Lee by far... he trained Chuck Norris in Jeet Kune Do for some time. Bruce Lee used to train on a 300 pound punching back and was able to kick it to the ceiling. He could explode 100 lbs punching bags with a side kick. The amount of physical training that Bruce Lee put himself through was incredible. He was clocked at 1/200th of a second to throw a punch. He was small, quick, and hit harder than hell. I think it was no contest. And for anyone wanting to say that he would get schooled on the ground- he studied all forms of martial art- pick up the Tao of Jeet Kune Do sometime and read it. Bruce Lee revolutionized how people should study martial art. "Take what you can learn and forget the rest." The formless form. Chuck Norris was too stiff and formulated, Ken Shamrock is just another MMA "movie star" for fanboys. I gave up on UFC after about the third one. Can you say WWF?? Where was Junkyard Dog during all of this?? I would have loved to see Bruce Lee in the UFC/MMA. Then some of the people could shut up on here about it and realize he was a martial artist BEFORE a movie star in all facets. *pant pant* K... enough of that. hahaha
Reply:shamrock. Shamrock is more well rounded. mixed martial artists are the most well rounded fighters in the world. shamrock would take down norris and lee and use his wrestling and submissions against them.
Reply:C'mon.....Bruce Lee is dead. SO if he is able to fight then he must be undead or divinely risen. Either way I am choosing the man that has the power to return from the dead.
Reply:Dude, Bruce Lee would win even if Shamrock and Norris teamed up. Don't forget that he is so fast normal cameras can't see his hands, and don't forget the two inch punch that could send a guy across a room!
Reply:CHUCK!!!
Reply:this one is easy, if bruce lee were alive; of course bruce lee; norris or shamrock have never been in a street fight; they know how to fight when there is a ref; bruce lee used to fight in the streets of HK for his life and reputation; there are accounts of him getting challenged daily even when he was making his movies in HK. these fights had no protective gear, or a mat to fight on, or even a ref to stop the fight.
Reply:Bruce Lee is the greatest Martial Artist of all time.

He is the only fighter ever that no one can match.

Sorry your dead, Bruce.
Reply:Some of you are so stupid. Shamrock would have no problem beating both of them at once. Bruce Lee admited that Muhammed Ali would beat the breaks off of him. Shamrock, on the other hand, could submit Ali in less than 30 sec. Punk Norris wouldn't even show up. He would get killed....literally!
Reply:Chuck Norris.

Reply:Whoever shoots first.
Reply:on the street there are no rules, and you're fighting on cement,so grappling on the ground is stupid: not only will you shred your skin off, but there's no ref to stop your opponent from biting, eye gouging, or choking while grappling. To me this rules out ken shamrock. Which brings it down to Norris and Lee, though I admire Norris for his skills he is neither as fast or as skilled as Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee has demonstrated multiple times kicking a 200 lb sandbag over 6 feet, with a kck that tok ess than a second to perform. Lee threw kicks (stronger than any punch) faster than any fighters threw their punches. It would beone kick for Shamrock,and maybe 2 for Norris.
Reply:Bruce Lee no doubt about it
Reply:Bruce lee would win.

Here are some cool bruce lee facts.

- Lee could spring a 235lb opponent 15 feet away with a 1 inch punch.

- Lee'sunstopppable punch is truely unstoppable, even with several steps back.

- Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.

- Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24fps, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion.

- Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.

- Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.

- From a standing position, Lee could hold a 125lb barbell straight out.

- Lee could break wooden boards six inches thick.

- Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-pound punching bag.

- Lee could cause a 300-lb bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a kick.

He died not because of a silat master or by his wife like many people say.

Out of all the street fights on YouTube, post one where you think BJJ would be the most useful?

2011-11-18T04:28:00.004-08:00

BJJ has its place in one-on-one organized matches, but in street fights...let's see...

Out of all the street fights on YouTube, post one where you think BJJ would be the most useful?
BJJ is a great sport.
Reply:I think BJJ would be useful in most street fights because most of the people are untrained and eventually fall to the ground. I would think someone trained in another martial art fighting against an untrained person wouldnt goto the ground because they have learned to keep their balance. I think to be successful at all fighting is 80% defense, 20% offense. Learning to move, get stability and then pop.
Reply:BJJ has it's place anytime a fight hits the ground. Guess where most, if not all, street fights end up? The only thing you have to change is simply not to use certain moves, and trust me, it is very obvious to anyone who trains seriously what moves you would not want to use in a street fight.

Does size matter in a street fight ?

2011-11-18T04:28:00.003-08:00

im 6'2 and i practice TKD, and i was wonderin if i get into a street fight with a guy thats shorter than me, if i would be able to win

personally, i got alot of advantages because i know alot of TKD so that really helps secondly im very tall

what do you think?

or if i get in a fight with a short guy or a bit shorter than me?

give me opinions please

Does size matter in a street fight ?
no.. whoever has more intensity usually wins
Reply:of course it does. But sometimes smaller, more agile foes can win through strategy and taking advantage of the environment around them.

BUT, nowadays a weak sissy can just pull out a revolver and it'd be over, LOL
Reply:Oh god...I can't even concentrate on the question because of your name.......something about a street fight with a midget....
Reply:In a street fight between men, it is almost always the guy that gets the first clean shot in that wins. Just because you are taller doesn't mean you are going to win.
Reply:Yes it gives you a big advantage. No guarantees though.
Reply:He'll probably be faster and quicker. You just have to out smart him. Use your size and strength to your advantage.
Reply:Its never a sure thing. If both combatants are relatively inexperienced at fighting, Yes the bigger person will probably win.

You may have an advantage, but never assume the person you're fighting is inexperience because he/she is short. Often times short people are good wrestlers.
Reply:You can do it.
Reply:If you learned studio/tournament TKD and get in a rumble in the alley, send me a postcard from the ER.

Tae Kwon Do agrees on a set of rules where you have a given amount of space, areas are off-limits, etc. A smart 'street fighter' will recognize the fact you want to stay away and will use wrist locks, or elbows, or grappling you to the ground, taking away your skills and mauling you.

Remember the Karate Kid: best defense, no be there. If you're learning TKD to kick butt and take names... stay in the ring.
Reply:Actually knowing how to fight helps. Best bet in a street fight is flight.

If you are talking about a few inches it won't be much of a factor.

If it is like a 2 foot difference... why are you picking on little people?
Reply:No, size doesn't matter. It's skill, stamina and intensity that counts.

I'm 5"2 and all of the people or sparring partners i've ever had have been between 5"11 and 6"7. I've only ever lost two matches.

If you were to face a shorter person, no offence, but he or she would most likely be faster than you.

Although you would have a bit of advantage being taller(i.e. longer arms and legs so you don't have to go in as close to attack....You'd probably be a bit out of their range)
Reply:Nope, I also studied various martial arts and when I was real active I never lost to people that had me by 50lbs or more. I also lifted weights and had less than 10% body fat, but the rule is; connect first and its generally over with. Always remember a midget could jump up and clip you in the family jewels and kick your butt!

Second, thinking that you are a badass and getting into a street fight, could end up with someone poking a few holes in you with a 9mm. Trust me, I've been shot with a 9mm with hollow points and it "smarts" a "little" as well as leaving fairly large exit wounds, 9 years later I still don't have feeling in some parts of my body. As I've gotten older I perfer weapons myself and being a combat veteran, I really do know how to use them and will, if I think my lifes in danger!
Reply:I don't think size matters in a street fight,

...unless you're taking your pants off!

You're not taking them off are ya??
Reply:size matters, speed and power matters, skill matters and luck matters. thats life.
Reply:Size matters to an extent , thats why before pro bouts , they usually show the fighters reach along with weight and age ect. When striking reach advantage can be a plus , but a good striker can bob and weave and use your own height againts you , by coming on close and boxing inside the pocket , a great example would be Mike Tyson 5.11 Heavyweight.

Also in a streetfight you can be fighting a short stalky guy who can be a good wrestler or a submision fighter , and reach dont matter anymore once you hit the ground , then the compact stalky guy has the advantage.

So if you are a taller guy like yourself. then use that to your advantage. use your jab to keep the opponent far away , and use your long legs with pushkicks and side kicks. And for your own sake please dont try any of that spinning butterfly kick stuff.
Reply:Firstly:

Tae Kwon Do traditionally teaches wrist locks, elbows, and knees. Don't assume because the olympic style is the prominent type you see, that it's a standard. Many schools these days are cross training with grappling, and other arts such as BJJ and Hapkido as well. YOU FAIL!!!

Secondly:

Size is a factor in a street fight (Both height and weight), but it is something that works around your skills and fighting attributes (Speed, power, timing, heart, stamina, and so forth). That's if you see it from a TMA perspective: If you have great attributes, then they matter more. Someone that is taller than you may not have the extra power, speed, and so forth. Someone shorter than you might have that, and whatever other variation. You should keep it in your thoughts, but someone with those attributes are what you should watch out for.

When you're talking of moderate difference, they may even had advantages. I'm 5'11", but my armspan is 6'2". That helps me. lol

If your muscle-bound friend doesn't have any idea about throwing punches, then he might have an disadvantage, unless he grapples. It's endlessly complicated though. You should definitely elude the situation if you can, but you shouldn't freak out if someone is a little taller, bigger, and xyz than you. You have to compare your abilities and skills with that of your opponent (Or rather what your think they may have). I mean, if the tallest person in history (Robert Wadlow) had the muscles of an MMA fighter: I would not **** with him. :p

If someone the size of my brother (5'6", about 170-180 of lean muscle) wanted crap, and I couldn't elude: Then I would fight. That's biased of me, because my brother is a martial artist and fitness head. But of course if they're just muscles, then it might not say anything of there fighting skill. lol

Just keep it in the back of your mind, but don't have nightmares about it. Good luck, and I would advocate that you cross train in grappling to get well-rounded.
Reply:You're talking about height. It is an advantage -- especially against untrained people who arent' particularly good at closing distance.

Weight matters more, though. The heavier you are, the more weight you can potentially put behind your shots.

If you get into a fight with somebody shorter than you, winning or losing will depend on a whole slew of things. Height and weight are definitely amongst them, but they're far from the only determining factors.
Reply:Of course not.

I hope you know the concept of ranging. Suppose you opponent is short but good.

You are tall and do more kicking(TKD), you are in the advantage when you fight Long Range. This mean you can attack from a longer distance but opponent can not. You can kick from a distance but your opponent can not.

However there are some disadvantages with long range. You have to use long weapons (kick or staff) which tends to be slow because it has move more mass and more distance to travel to make contact. However If you keep distance from your opponent then can win the fight.

Then there is close quarter fighting (close range). As the name implies the distance between you and your opponents is just a matter of inches. This is where a shorter guy has the advantage. At close quarters you can not kick because you do not have the distance to execute it. Your opponent can use his hands ( punch, grapple or worst stab you with a knife) to attack you but you can not recounter. This is specially true because many fights flare out in bars where the fight is close quarter. Even worse TKD can not fight well in close quarters because it does not encourage the use of the hands.

I sometimes spar with TKD, stay close to them and they can't do anything.

From training in Dekiti Tirsia Siradas, tactics and techniques can negate the advantage of size any time.
Reply:The person with more skill in sparring/fighting usually wins.

However being tall gives you an advantage over those who are shorter, But being short also have an advantage which those who are tall don't. Being tall, you have an advantage of hitting/kicking them at least over the head, but it would take you longer to finish your attack. Whereas the shorter people can trip you from the bottom even though they don't have the advantage to hit/kick very high unless they can jump very high and kick. Shorter people have an advantage to be able to see your attack fast enough to dodge it because tall people have long arms and legs so once the tall person starts and attack, it's easy to see where the attack is coming from unless you are super fast in punching/kicking.

In a street fight, people don't fight fair so even if you do practice and know a lot of TKD moves, you may not win the fight.

I think my opinion was confusing @_@.
Reply:"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

But, if you practice TKD, you should be well trained to AVOID fighting if at all possible.
Reply:Honestly if you have enough time to determine that your opponent is smaller than you, then it wasn't an unexpected attack or a blindside. This should give you time to resolve the situation peacefully. Either by making a joke, attracting attention so there are witnesses(in case you do fight and it goes to court), playing a fool, drooling, acting retarded, etc.

That being said there is a old saying that a good big man will beat a ggood small man anytime, but nothing is certian. Look at Matt Serra vs. JSP.
Reply:You better hope that the tiny guy doesn't do BJJ or you're screwed!
Reply:it doesnt matter how big you are, if youre gonnae get attacked and the guy is bigger than you and you think sh!t im gonnae lose you will lose, youre frame of mind is what counts, if a guy is smaller than you like in your case, you wont nessecarily win just cause youre bigger, they could be a better fighter than you, theres always someone that is a better fighter than you it doesnt matter where you go in the world.

Does tae kwon do help in a street fight?
Of course. It's more self-defense oriented.

Try running your mouth a little less and perhaps the fights won't come looking for you.
Reply:no
Reply:No.

But neither will most other martial arts.

They're not *supposed* to work for a street fight.

They do work well within their own context-- whether it be competition, spiritual, or self-defense. But most martial arts won't work for street fighting-- because that's not what they were intended for.

And, fights don't "just happen." To get into a fight with someone else, you would have to

1) deliberately go to places where fights are likely to happen. Or, hang out with people who are likely to fight.

2) be a real prick and tick someone off badly enough for them to react.

3) then *engage* them in that fight. ie., STAY there and try to duke it out instead of escaping. Very bad idea.

There's an old saying espoused often on the website I posted below, and it's very true:

"It takes two to fight." There is no "good guy" in a street fight, and cops know this.

You sound pretty young... if you're still in school, know that you can and will be expelled for fighting. (That won't look good on job resumes or college applications, by the way.) Once you enter the adult world, you are very likely to end up dead or in prison if you continue to get into fights.

Reply:I get to fight a few times a week, I am a bouncer at several clubs and I have to say 99.9% of the time there will be no time or space to get off high flying kicks, I use my BJJ chocks and locks most of the time to escort people out of the clubs and also when ingaged in a fight, also judo comes in very handy, not many people are ready to be grabed and thrown down. If your looking to learn to defend your self in every day events Krav ma ga is also excellant!
Reply:i have been in TKD (Tea kwon do, judo kwan style, hope i spelled it right) for seven years, i have to say some of it is good for a street fight. Most of it is not; one is not going to try to do a jumping turn back side kick in a real fight, probably a turn back side kick (if your fast).what TKD lacks is practical hand techniques and grappling. What TKD has is the best kicks in the world, the kicks can hit hard and they are faster than Muy tai kicks.why do i say that, Muy tai kicks w/ the shin and they try to lay one out w/ one kick. TKD sets up kicks and takes kicks w/ the top of the foot. From what i noticed, from experience, is that TKD kicks work with the leg muscles using a snapping motion (were the power comes from) in the kicks. Muy Tai kinda just swings it out there, trying to plow one over . over all, Muy tai is more wheel rounded and better for a real fight. if i had to pick one style it would be judo or i'd go to a place that does krav maga. An MMA gym would also be vary vary effective in a street fight.

Reply:Training in any martial art will increase your speed, reflexes and stuffs like this. It will most probably of some help. But the best is still training with your basketball team or track and field teams. Their training packs more power for running away and avoiding a fight.

Running away is not the way of a coward, It's the way to ensure that you haven't lose.
Reply:yea
Reply:absolutely Yes!

In the practice of Tae Kwon Do you learn drills and skills, kicks,punch, and blocks.

You also learn to do patterns or forms or poomses

the purpose of these patterns is so one can defend themselves against various attackers in different directions

If you train and practice everyday you should be able to defend yourself and KO your opponent.

BUT, you must remember that within this discipline comes the art of patience and self control. so if you can walk away from a fight this prooves that you are mastering the art.
Reply:Somewhat, yes. As with most martial arts, some of the training with be of use in a real street fight. No, telegraphed high kicks may not be the best option, but evasion, endurance, speed, and hand techniques are all benefits of training in Tae Kwan Do.

Remember, TKD stylists react faster than any other martial artists.

the beating of your life, not to mention making an **** of

Reply:First of all, I don't believe that you don't do something to start them or at least egg it on.

That is bull.

But to answer your question, TKD is only good enough to get your butt kicked, unless the guy you are fighting is called "Erkel".

Boxing and Judo or Jiu Jitsu is the way to go. Boxing for standup and Judo or Jiu Jitsu to make them pay on the ground.
Reply:Hi. My name is Jasen T. Davis. I have studied martial arts for nearly 18 years.

My first art was Tae Kwon Do. I have a master red belt (which is the last belt before a black belt) from Pomona Tae Kwon Do under Master Dae Woong Chung.

I quit Tae Kwon Do after I got into a streetfight. How's that for answering your question? LOL!

There are serveral rules in a streetfight.

1) Don't fight. You'll go to jail.

2) Don't turn your back on an opponent.

3) Don't kick above the waist.

4) Well, don't kick at all.

5) Some fights end up on the ground.

Sadly, TKD breaks rules 2, 3 and 4. It will also not prepare you for 5. The hand techniques in TKD are also not very effective.

TKD is great exercise and is a good sport. I still practice. But there are better arts to learn to fight.

Here is what you sould do:

Go learn Brazillian Ju Jitsu, or some sort of wrestling art. They are rather popular, and although you should never fight on the ground, the experience will prove invaluable should your opponent not be so enlightened.

After that, go learn boxing. It's hard work, but after a year you will be pretty good. Hitting an opponent with a closed fist in the face is not very smart, but the movements of boxing...shedding, slipping, etc. will be very valuable for avoiding damage and keeping your cool if you are hit in the face. Plus, an uppercut to the solar plexus will stop most people.

Finally, learn Aikido. It takes a long time, but even the basics are great for avoiding violence and knocking people down if they try to hit or hurt you. The philosophy will also make you a better person, although you seem like a nice enough guy right now. After a year or two in Aikido you'll have a good foundation. Hell, get a black belt and do work as a bouncer.

Don't fight. If you are fighting you are part of the problem. Martial arts will help you beat your own ego. Your worst opponent is yourself. Fighting leads to prison, lawsuits, hospitals and maybe the morgue. You'll at least spend a night in jail for fighting.

Good luck! You can contact me at jasendavis@yahoo.com if you have any other questions.

How to win a street fight?

2011-11-18T04:28:00.001-08:00

I know the obvious answer is to walk away. That's not what I'm looking for. There's alot of beef in my school lately and I tend to shoot my mouth off a little so I know eventually I'm going to get into a fight. This is a fair fight between two guys that disagree about something. so dont say kick in the groiin or any of that dirty stuff. I want to know straight up good techniques to use during a street fight, where you usually aren't boxing with your opponent and picking your punches.

How to win a street fight?
There was a move we learned in aikido. If possible join that class. You step in, with the foot you stepped in with, you pivot around so that you are on the side of the person rather than the front. After that it is your choice, in street fighting, i would use my foot and place it underneath the other person's foot when the move to either face you or turn their body to attack you. This would give you leverage and you can throw the person off balance. Just make sure your foot doesn't get crushed in the process.

A more practical advice, "weigh your words before your utter them" Your words hold the power of destroying this world.
Reply:Street fighting is fighting dirty.
Reply:keep your hands up to protect your face. make sure you're breathing out each time you throw a punch to regulate your breathing so you can keep swinging and if they try to counter you to the stomach you will be exhaling and you're stomach won't have any air in it at the time so you won't get the wind knocked out of you. keep moving so you're harder to hit. knee's to the face are always good they will stop dood's in their tracks. and if it's a street fight make sure you do what you gotta to make sure you don't get jacked up short of killin the guy. and don't talk crap at a hostile place if you don't know what you're doin... you'll live longer dood
Reply:Asking how to win a street fight is asking someone to predict the future. There are so many possible factors that can affect the outcome that it's impossible to have a win-all situation. Is it summer or winter? Is it day or night? How many other people are nearby? Are they strangers or people who may decide to step in if you/your opponent starts loosing? Does someone have a weapon? In my opinion it's just not worth it, sure you can beat the crap out of someone but that dosen't prove anything other than the fact that you aren't smart enough to get out of that situation in the first place. Rather then prepare for the eventuallity of a beating I suggest you try working on keeping from shooting your mouth off and coming up with better, more mature ways of handling things. Good luck to ya!
Reply:Ok, I don't condone violence, but if you find yourself in a street fight that is not your fault, you still have to defend your self.

This is a link to a 6 minute video by Bass Rutten, the man. He's a K-9 fighter (like UFC) and he has some tips for winning a street fight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKIm_E_jo...

Even if I don't get best answer, you've got to watch this video. It is ripping good fun.
Reply:Well, interesting question.

Keep it simple. DON'T think about techniques too much trying to remember them.

Do not use high kicks if you are the one who launches the first strike.

Bruce Lee said: "If you try to remember, you will lose".

Try to attack the nearest target: shins, knees, balls,etc.

Once you hit one opponent, try to run! Do not stray there fighting.

Learn also grappling. but try not to go or to fall to the ground whenever possible.
Reply:1 thing is try nerve pinching like the 1 in the elbow grab the hand and pinch the joint and paralyze him or trip him and get up quickly if you on floor and grab his legs and step down on his butt so he cant get up another move is to hit the neck alot because then they will breath abnormally but they will heal so dont worry about it but dont kick like bruce lee on the neck or sumthing but remember the nerve pinch you can keep fighting or do the nerve pinch and then runaway because theres 2 ways to win a fight, beat up the person then have him surrender or 2. inflict lots of damage to him and run away its not being chicken as long as you put some good moves on em
Reply:Well you don't fight back, you defend yourself, your life is not all about fighting. And also fighting leads to jail- You fight when your a kid- you get detention. Fight when your an adult- You go to jail.

But, how to DEFEND yourself is always keep your guard up, if you see you oppenent swing block or dodge it, DON't swing back. Eventually he will tire and the fight will be over. Another technique is when HE swings catch his wrist between your wrists and deflect downward. If you sense danger, such as a hit coming but you have no time to block THEN THAT IS THE ONLY TIME YOU SWING.

But remember, life is not about fighting, so stay up and don't smoke!
Reply:The best defense is the best offense , take it to them hard fast and overwhelm them giving it all you got , don't even let them catch a breath just keep swinging and aim for the temples on the side of their head and knock them out putting a quick end to it . I'm 50 years old and have never had my *** kicked and never had a fight last over 5 minutes tops .
Reply:fight him hockey style, grab shirt/head, and start hitting with unoccupied fist. The clench is the key in winning a street fight, there's not a lot of dodging it's all about grab and jab. The fiercer guy always wins.

I saw some street fights and...?

I saw some street fights and...?

damn those people cant fight, they just swing wildly and dont know the meaning of kicking or knees and once there on the ground they dont know what to do

is this what people do if they are not trained in a martial art

take a look at this video is this good representation of martial art, even though he could have avoided it

No matter how good you get at the "fight" game

there is always someone with your number in their pocket !!

So, if you're one of these folks that are into this stuff for the power and glory of the "game" -- you can expect to have your lunch served to you on a bed tray sooner or later !!
Reply:the link wouldnt open...

anyway street fighters have the eliment of surprize on their sides.they wont hesitate to pick up whats next to them either. usually street fights have NO NEED for ground work. once you hit the ground you pretty much lost especially if he's got friends. Usually people who street fight have back up somewhere and its usually behind you! this is where martial arts MMA is usefull more than any other style. its not over kill and they can stand up and finish you or take you down. you simply need to be well rounded to kick *** efficiantly these days because a lot of people are starting to learn more and more "practicle arts".
Reply:the link dont work.. but yea its true they just randomly swing... lol that how this 1 guy described a good fighter 2 me lol
Reply:those street fights with the swinging is actually a technique developed by "Flint", this guy: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?... , he calls it 'teh d34dly Trailer Park Propeller'
Reply:Who knows whether what you saw is representative of what the 'tough' guys do. I think what you saw shows the difference between self-estimation based on emotion and your own sense of what's right from you r training.

After living a long time in the Bay area I am now living in a great, polite, very macho part of the US, and while I've met a lot of guys(and women too) who are very strong-minded and opinionated I have not yet met anybody who really, by MY standards, can fight. No, that's wrong...two guys, two brothers, and they were training for the ring, in great shape with some great techniques.

But mostly anybody who's dangerous will have taken enough interest in the skills to have learned and practiced a few, and that's VERY rare.

I just give everybody total respect, hide my own skills, break the opponent if I need to, and let the fools slam each other around...it's entertaining. If you've paid your dues, it's OK.

But you should realize: if a guy who's studied finds out that normal doofus peole are stupid about fighting, something they think they have a right to have an opinion about, well, what does that tell you about people who have opinions about...international relations, or sex, or God, or...? see, you could be living among a LOT of opinionated incompetents in a LOT of fields...why not become an expert in something? don't voice your opinion: just study and practice privately a LOT and get the goodies, don't fight with anybody.

all the best from a VERY old martial artist who's thumped a lot of people in streets and alleys and other places...thanks for the video and question.
Reply:All u need is to throw one good punch and thats it. Violence is a very bad thing though. Peace baby! :)

Reply:Let me tell you, It depends on the situation. If i could help i would if i couldn't i would I would call either the cops or 911. I would make soure i did something. My daughter is 16, 15 at the time and some 49 yr old man tried to get her in a car and failed thank God! She ran and turned around to get his plate and call 911. there was over 10 people there at the bus stop and not one person helped her men or females! he beat my little girl! kicked and punched her for refusing to take a ride from him! I thank god she faught back! that made him even more pissed off! Not one person helped her they said, "I thought it was her boyfriend." then one person said,"i thought it was her dad." she doesn't look like a person that would have a man that old! and it was 4pm in tha afternoon at a trainstaiton! I'm so greatful that on man that was parked at a light saw everything and sped into the lot and almost ran him over. After my daughter faught back and ran again he chased her and beat her a second time! that made it possible for the cops to get him..not to mention he stayed and said she attacked him! So please anyone that can do something do it. dont just ignore it. You don't have to jump in you can just call 911 and witness it give a description. My daughter was kicked punched and beat by someone she don't know who is now awaiting trial and who is also out on the streets with 4 priors for domestic assaults on females on 500 cash bail..Go figure the system sucks..

I street fight but well please help??????
You should stop. Like you said, you're only 16... There are so many other things you could be doing at that age that you won't ever have the chance to do again for a really long time. Trust me. If something that you do makes you feel so badly about yourself, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. And on top of that, not only are you LITERALLY hurting other people (to the point where they may actually die, no less), but you're only hurting yourself.

Listen, I don't know what influence you've had on you to make you want to resort to this kind of lifestyle, but life isn't all about being badass. You don't have to beat up other people to feel good about yourself. You are only 2 years short of becoming legal. Once you get there, the consequences for your actions are entirely different than when you are 16. Stop now while you still can. Put your effort, time, and passion into something long-term and worthwhile, something that will benefit others as well as yourself.

Internet street fights are sad. Don't you think so? Alot of times they are brutal and are not about defense.

2011-11-18T04:27:00.003-08:00

And what do the parents think when they see their child getting brutally pummeled in some street/ school fight on the internet? And what type of person would film such brutality. Don't get me wrong. I am an adult and I enjoy boxing and martial arts. I am a big fan and I am a decent fighter who is in good shape. But some of these kids don't know how to defend themselves. And I hate to see someone pin someone to the ground and keep punching someone over and over and see nobody stop the fight. Especially the female fights. Very brutal because there is no defense. These fights say alot about the sad state of humanity. And I know, people have been fighting forever. But still, we should progress past this point. You see more and more of these brutal fights on the internet. I'm gonna stop watching.

see the tape. how many fights that are or not recorded that

happen. we will never know.
Reply:I grew up around a lot of fighting, and usually, cameras and weapons were involved. (saw this guy's arm cut off with a machete during a street fight) Ususally, they weren't fights - just attacks on people. This is why there is no 'defense'. In the 'hood, you mind your own business or you end up in a ditch somewhere. I've seen people shot, stabbed, beaten, stomped, jumped, thrown over a clif - all kinds of ****. And usually, I didn't get involved. That is why I am alive to answer your question.

What you see on the Internet is child's play. These well-fed sheltered fools fight, but they do it just for entertainment and shock value. Sometimes, I still have nightmares about the numerous incidents I have witnessed or been involved in first-hand.

I am a martial artist myself - Systema, Taekwondo, Sambo, Hung Gar. Being a martial artist, you DO realize that what goes on in the dojo is totally different than what goes on in the street. Nobody gives a flying **** about hitting a man while he's down. There are no rules in street fighting whatsoever. I know this because I killed a man with my bare ******* hands when I was 16 in self-defense.

To me, this is worse than some Internet video, so I suggest you get out more and get a thicker skin. Make one wrong in the dojo, you get up and fix your belt. You **** up on the street, you will end up on the 11 o' clock news. I don't worry about his myself, because I have seen true savagery first-hand.

If you lose your boxing/mma fight license can you still get in trouble for fighting on the street?

2011-11-18T04:27:00.002-08:00

what i mean is if your license is revoked or expires can you still get in the same amount of trouble as a active professional fighter because pro fighter can be charged with a deadly weapon just by using there hands a non fighter may only get charged with battery. but what if u don't have a license anymore? i was thinking of being a fighter but I want to be able to defend myself on the streets as well

I find difficulty fighting with some street fighters??

2011-11-18T04:27:00.001-08:00

When people fight with their own style,they move around and i find it hard to attack them.Is there any ways i can attack them in a easier way??

I find difficulty fighting with some street fighters??
Per,

Street fighters generally have a few things in common, one of which is they do not train as hard as those of us who learn to fight in the gym. They run out of gas fairly quickly and become stationary targets. Easy pickins!

Here is what you do: (for right-hander's) At the beginning of a fight with a street type fighter, keep your distance. Give them a lot of fakes and not a lot of punches or kicks. Let them expend their energy first, then you attack. Believe me the fakes will, by themselves wear them out. Don't kick at all, and when you do punch, just throw left jabs and nothing else to set them up for the straight right later. An inexperienced street fighter will always fall for this most basic tactic. Jab, jab, jab, jab.....that's all you do for the first couple of minutes or even the first two rounds, until you sense that the opponent is wearing down, then throw a couple of leg kicks immediately followed by a jab and then the hardest jab/straight right punch combo you can deliver. It is the most basic set-up there is, but It works every time on an inexperienced fighter like you are talking about.

Have fun!
Reply:I once asked My Sensei a similar question. His response was "If you want to become a better fighter then get in more fights." But really why would you want to fight like that? If on the other had you are refering to fighting in martial arts tournaments where things are controlled %26amp; there are rules %26amp; refs etc well then I suggest you train hard, practice often, %26amp; spar with as many different fighters as you can. Try a few different martial arts as well to get different perspectives on fighting.
Reply:Let out a big fart! Make it a stinker. Your opponent will either stare in disbelief or start laughing. Then let another one rip, and go attack him.
Reply:Sounds like you're just not used to fighting people that fight with different strategies to you... Try and expand your training to spar with as many people as you can from as many differnt systems as you can, you can learn something from everyone.
Reply:Keep fighting in the street to prove yourself like you do and sooner or later, someone is a) going to pull a weapon on you b) have four - five friends waiting to jump in you're not aware of or c) turn out to be much better than you and beat you to an inch of your life.

You could find yourself in a hospital bed with stuff broken beyond repair, or worse.

Street fighting is not a game. I for one would not teach anything to anyone who wants to use it that way.
Reply:Yeah, try to learn a new style yourself, they improvise a lot, with training, you rely on it, rather than to "go with the flow" If you want to throw them off guard, try faking a few before actually contacting with a strike, also, do you know how to grapple? if not, that is one very important one to learn, it will teach you how to improvise, and adapt to different, and changing situations, tried and true vs hard and new, make the choice, tried and true can be thwarted by new and changing styles, eventually you will find one style will render you obsolete, adaptation is the key.
Reply:Yes. Make them come to you.

Reply:learn to street fight yourself they usually have more experience since all there training is "hands on" they cut all the crap you dont need to know like learning another language or breaking boards, wearing pyjamas or theory.

Reply:the first thing is most ma techniques dont work in street fighting.

but if you must then i suggest using small linear movements and shorter harder(more force) and faster techs.

hope this helps
Reply:That's the whole point, not getting hit. Finding your own way of fighting, as I have professed, is the only and best way to become a better fighter. Don't expect to fight with a fighter when you can only play tag, do kata or know pre-arranged one step. There is a "Grand Canyon" of distance between a fighter and a martial artist. As long as you keep the blinders of "tradition" on you will not see. As long as the yoke of kata rests upon your shoulders you will not win. Expand and learn. a real fighter will over come any traditional martial artist. In the end that is all. You can profess your spiritual highness or your tradition all you want but in the end, if that gets my *ss kicked I'll forgo such stuff and be the one that walks away, rather than the one in the hospital and a knowledge of history or a sense of tradition. In the end you must decide do I want to truly know how to protect myself or do I want to be lying in the hospital wondering why my kata or one step failed me?
Reply:Try another style. Maybe you learned martial arts for a day or two, thats not enough. Years my friend, years.

If you were driving and saw people fighting in the street what would you do? theres more below?

2011-11-18T04:26:00.003-08:00

let say you are stopped at he red light and people in the car next to you get out and start fighting some more people in another car just what would you do? How would you react basically?

If you were driving and saw people fighting in the street what would you do? theres more below?
i would wait for the light to change and then go thru the intersectrion and call the cops., depending on how bad the fight is is a man is fighting a woman i would definately call the cops no question been there done that..... wouldn't you want someone to help you if you were in a fight?
Reply:Depends why they're fighting.

Depends whos fighting.

Depends the type of fight. Cat fight, simple fist fight, curb stomping.

Depends on time of day.

Two guys in a fist fight. No business of mine, they can handle themselves.

1 guy is beating the other guy to death, ill get in there and save him.

Massive curb stomping, Id lock the doors, call cops and run away.

This is why I always carry a bat in my car.

Kids fighting on the Street, what would you do?

2011-11-18T04:26:00.002-08:00

On the way home from work, I saw 2 boys fighting, and when I heard breaking glass I went to talk to them and separate them. It was not an easy task. Now I wonder, what would have been the best way to handle this? Would you have broken up the fight?

Kids fighting on the Street, what would you do?
how old were they? You probably couldve gotten hurt yourself. Knowing todays society, they wouldve found someway to blame you for something, then sued you.

Best thing would probably be to call the cops...again, dependent on their ages.

call the cops the little hoods might turn on you
Reply:you did the right thing ! i would have done it the exact way ! good job !
Reply:Under the circumstances, I definitely would have intervened and actually have intervened in a number of altercations where its grown man vs. grown man and...more urgently...grown man "vs." grown woman. The three important questions that you need to ask yourself before inserting yourself into a situation like this are 1) can I make a difference 2) what are the odds of my becoming a victim and 3) am I willing to put my life on the line to save one or both of these individuals? That being said, it goes without saying that even if you are not able to intervene directly you should call the police immediately and/or try to find some guys who can effectively separate the two brawlers.
Reply:I would have avoided it at all costs, kids carry guns and knives now, you never know.

Fighting On Street?

2011-11-18T04:26:00.001-08:00

The other day I drove a group of 4 kids home from school, but they got in a small confrontation with some guys and a little pushing and shoving went on and some verbal stuff, but no injuries to anyone. The guy in the other vehicle told me to get them out of the area so i brought them to their friends house and on the way there, two cops pull us over and charged the one kid and the other guy battery charges, but told me i had no charges because i stayed in the vehicle, and he just asked me who shoved first and took down my name, address, and phone number. The kid is getting a court date for his charge, but the cop didn't say anything to me. You think i will get brought into this case or did the cop get everything he needed from me, because i didn't see most of the fight. I don't want to court with the kids because they are the type if you say something they don't like, they will come after you. Only reason i took them home, was for gas money for the week, i don't know these kids at all.

If ur neighbors at the end of the street r fighting, does that give u the Right to barge into their home?

2011-11-18T04:25:00.005-08:00

This example is equated with the U.S. sending troops into fighting countries. Now, some people brand others who simply chose to mind their own biz as 'isolationists'. Since when did minding ur own biz become wrong? Since when did living by the Constitution(s) give patroits the brand of 'isolationists'? We r not the world police for the U.N. Let's be crystal clear - 9/11 %26amp; sending young men / women to die in Iraq have absolutely NOTHING to do w/ 1 another - AND, Iraq posed NO threat to Americans on American soil in any way, shape, or form. I'm all for protecting our country and if attacked by a 'country' (have Congress declare War as outlined in the Constitution) - then DEMOLISH the enemy. I'm also for Arming Americans and protecting our borders - shooting all potential terrorists who enter our country illegally. (Gangs who terrorise my community ARE TERRORISTS!! plain %26amp; simple). The national guard is for national / state emergency here at home!

Can i be punished harder than a regular civilian for fighting on the street?

2011-11-18T04:25:00.004-08:00

im a 25 year old no holds barred mixed martial arts fighter or commonly known as a ultimate fighter. as a registered fighter can i have more heavy punishment for fighting on the street?

Can i be punished harder than a regular civilian for fighting on the street?
If you are in fact in martial arts you should know the answer to this question. Once you reach a certain level, or belt, your hands/feet are considered legal weapons aren't they? If that is true, then you could be facing heavier penalties for fighting on the street.
Reply:You can do whatever you want with a good lawyer
Reply:Yes absolutely. Being registered makes you responsible for any damage you accidentally cause, the logic being that as a trained fighter you should actually know better. For example, if someone dies as a result of your actions, you'd be held for murder instead of manslaughter.
Reply:Yes I belive your skills can be classified as a dealy weapon. This is only my opinion not bacaked by facts.
Reply:Not by law that I am aware of, but a jury would almost certainly treat you more harshly as would a lot of judges.
Reply:My son is also a fighter and he goes to fight in tournaments and then doesn't have to worry about getting arrested for it he does it legal
Reply:YES!!! Haven't you seen that movie Con Air? If you have some sort of license to fight or above a certain level in martial arts, the law considers that a weapon. You could get charged with assualt with a deadly weapon instead of just assault etc..
Reply:Yep your body is consider a deadly weapon now. You can be tried for attempted murder. Just as if you were using a gun or knife.
Reply:No. Martial arts experience would be more likely to get you a more LENIENT punishment than no martial arts experience. Although you shouldn't be fighting on the street in the first place so the question is moot
Reply:You bet your ***! Especially if the judge or jury deems that you took advantage of a weaker person by using your skills in an abusive manner. If it's self defense, like you beat up a mugger, then they would side with you. But if you are the agressor for no good reason you will get the shaft in a court room.
Reply:YES YOU COULD, BUT IF I WAS THE JUDGE I WOULD LOOK AT THE SITUATION FIRST.
Reply:it depends if ur going to use ur nutts to crack them upside their head!
Reply:Your skill could be considered a weapon. You can only use the amount of force used against you. Example... If an old lady is running at you with her shoe you cannot just whip out a gun on her. That would be excessive force. In your case you could probably only use your type of fighting if someone was threatening your life with a gun or other deadly weapon. But, if you are going to just use it against someone who cannot produce the same amount of force you are applying you will most likely get a harsh punishment if death or injury are results.
Reply:Yes

And even Challenging person on the street can be a felony

Register can be as simple as people know you train, thats a fact that can be proved right? Thats registered. To many think I am not registered WTF?

Reply:I believe so....if a lawyer can prove the damage you are capable of inflicting it will greately increase your sentence....why would you be fighting in the streets anyway....
Reply:If you get heavier punishment for your acts, you have a case of bias that you could pursue. "Registering your hands" as lethal weapons is an urban legend. Go to the martial arts section of Y/A and ask them about this matter.
Reply:No. Everyone has the right to defend themself. In fact the law would consider you a fool if you stood there and let some slob beat the tar out of you. NO! You take care of business. The other guy started it and you finished it, PERIOD.

And what's all this "registered" garbage? I fought as a pro kickboxer for years and never had to register for anything. Seems like there's a lot of posers on here.
Reply:The following applies to everyone whether trained in martial arts or not. The difference is that a trained martial artist should be even more aware of how much force is considered reasonable.

One can only use as much force as is reasonable in the circumstances to:

• prevent a crime;

• effect or assist in the lawful arrest of offenders or suspected offenders;

• effect or assist in the lawful arrest of persons unlawfully at large;

• defend oneself;

• defend one’s property;

• defend another.

A person who is attacked or believes that he is about to be attacked may use such force as is reasonably necessary to defend himself or another or to defend his property. If he uses reasonable force he will be acting in lawful self-defense, and would not be guilty of an offence. A person does not need to be attacked before he can avail himself of self defense.

If he believes that he is about to be attacked he can strike pre-emptively. There is no requirement to retreat when attacked even if the opportunity to do so presents itself. Failing to avail oneself of such an opportunity is simply a factor to be taken into account in deciding whether it was necessary to use force at all.

Therefore there are two questions for a jury to address in deciding whether someone has acted in self defense. Firstly, an individual can only be properly said to be acting in self defense if in all the circumstances he honestly believes that it is necessary for him to defend himself, his property, or another and the second question is whether the amount of force which he uses in doing so is reasonable. So an individual who is acting out of revenge, bravado, or aggression does not act in lawful self-defense because in all those circumstances he could not honestly believe that it was

necessary for him to defend himself, and as such he would be guilty of the offense charged.

If the jury decides that a person may have been acting in the honest belief that it was necessary for him to defend himself, they must then consider whether the amount of force used was reasonable taking into consideration the circumstances and the danger that person honestly believed himself to be in at the time.

If you are trained in martial arts, you can bet that the prosecuter will do everything in his power to prove that you used excessive force regardless of what actually happened.

The other side of the discussion is if you would use your skills at all and risk being injured yourself? Have you ever notice how boxers and other athletes don't throw actual punches when they get into fights? That is because a boxer makes a living with his hands and doesn't want to risk his livelyhood doing something stupid like punching out some drunk in a bar.
Reply:A book for you to read is "The Law and Martial Arts" by Carl Brown. It is a good book with accounts of how the law has treated martial artists in the past pertaining to court proceedings. I read it and was surprised by a few incidents.
Reply:Yes. Since you have training in fighting you are held accountable on a higher level that the average person fighting. With great power comes great responsibility?
Reply:its depend sin your trianed in martial arts then yes but just cause you enteretd a tournment that not mean anyhting since alot of tournments will allow anyone to enter but just be careful dont styart a fight and if your attacked just do what you have to to defend yourself
Reply:Depends on where you live. Law is different in every state. Texas does not have such a law. We don't "register" here. As a professional you might be held more liable for what you've done. However that's a huge might.

In your case I would say no... you have nothing to worry about. They would have to prove intent and intention. Judging by your grammar and sentence structure.. I think that would be a very hard thing to accuse you of.

How long does it take to be well-trained Akido martial arts. do you think it is effective for street fighting?

2011-11-18T04:25:00.002-08:00

what are your thoughts on akido

How long does it take to be well-trained Akido martial arts. do you think it is effective for street fighting?
It will take about 5 years to get a black belt in Aikido. That doesn't mean you will be well-trained enough to handle yourself in a street situation. It means you got the basics down.

Aikido takes long to master and even if you do you will not fair well against someone who has trained the same amount as time as you in Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, or has experience in street fighting. Aikido will work well against someone that is not trained in any martial art or street fighting.

With the popularity of the UFC and PRIDE it seems like everyone is training something now so your chances of meeting someone on the street that has knowledge of fighting is higher. If I were you I would skip the Aikido or supplement it with something that has been proven on the street already.
Reply:It takes years to be well-trained in any martial art, and that's years of difficult, consistent training.
Reply:If you are looking for protection on the street, you don't need MA. You need a gun or a good brain complete w/ working set of sensory organs.
Reply:i dont think akido is worth ur time , ill say try boxing :D and if that doesnt work .... then quit life jk just keep trying
Reply:Being well trained doesn't mean effective. If you want to use aikido effectively in real life...it'll take years. For something that works quickly (if you plan on getting into a fight) boxing and jiu jitsu are the way to go.
Reply:if you train seriously and persistantly, you may feel competant at around 10 years training, but it's really all up to you. aikido is an art that takes longer than your average martial art to feel well-trained in.

the techniques are more 'sophisticated' than those of some of the fighitng arts mentioned in other peoples answers. that said, while they may take longer to be proficient in against a fighter with martial skill, when an aikido technician has attained high level skill, it is possible for him to very easily defeat not only an average street fighter but other skilled martial artists as well.

while i don't think aikido is as effective as some of the other arts out there, the techniques practiced in the dojo can definitely be modified to work for street self defense situations.

the question you may ask your self is; how long will it take YOU to be well trained in aikido to make it effective on the street? it's really all up to you!

good luck!
Reply:All works, the more u its better.
Reply:it takes years to master and it canbe usful in street fights but you need to remember there are no rules in a street fight and every martial art in the world is built on rules and principles

(yes 1 year... my senseis sensei didit in under a year cas he was in the merines and had nuthin better 2 do on down time so thats basicly all he did)
Reply:One again you idiots have missed what the martial arts is all about.

This man brings a rooster to a master rooster fighting instructor for a tournament that was held every year. He told the master train him hard so we can win

After a year, the man goes to the master wanting to take him to fight. the master says not yet. come back in a year he is not ready.

next year, man goes again asking same thing but the master said the same thing. come back again.

many years past, and the rooster got stronger and faster. the man having went every year saw that his rooster lookd better than the best roosters. So he goes back to the master trainer and asks him can he fight now.

the man looked on as his rooster stood in the middle of the ring, and no other rooster wanted to fight him.

thats when you know you are ready!

It takes more than just a few techniques to win a street fight.

It takes being smart enough to know you dont have to fight in the first place. idiots!!!

Roberto -- you talk like someone who has never dedicated years to a discpline, any discipline. And you missing the point of my story shows you really havent a clue upstairs either.

Its not about being big or strong...you idiot....but someone people will never get it.

Oh and about aikido not working in the real world...well guess its a good thing Im a golden Gloves champ, 3rd Dan Tai Kwan Do, 2nd Dan Aikido, 4 years muy thai and I dont need to prove myself by joining some UFC.

why do people talk about things they know nothing about.

Roberto shut your trap and maybe you wont grow up to be a complete idiot. Cause at this rate youll be a lifelong moron in no time at all
Reply:I don't think, "a_l_m_o_s_t_famous," gets the fact that in the real world, u cant always avoid a fight.

And also, his story basically implied that if u get big and strong, no one will want to fight you. Which is not even the point that he was making.

oh yeah, about akido, its useless.

There's a dark secret in martial arts. That secret is that most martial arts (not all) are pretty much made up from some guy along time ago and he thought he was the ****. Then started teaching poeple and built a following.

Its kind of like a Religion.

No matter how much u try to convince a terrorism, that Alla and Suicide Bombing is wrong. They wont believe u.

just like if i went to an akido school and said that their martial arts is useless and a waste of time. They wont believe me.

Trust me. your wasting your time. No akido master, will ever be able to take on a ufc fighter.
Reply:it all depends on how often you go to the dojo and train my husband has been taking aikido for 10 years now. But for you to get good enough for you to handle your self in a real fight on average is around 1 year by then you should be able to take on at least 4 person's at once and handle them with ease. Just keep practicing your foot movements that is one of the biggest foundation's. Dont pay no mind to all those other ppl telling you not to take aikido. Because they DO NOT know what there talking about if they have no taken the style for them self.
Reply:yes it is, it has saved my life a few times me faceing gun once knife five or six times, ball bats once, double teamed more times than i can count. the style i take is tomiki aikido

there is no language called martial arts so The Art of Street Fighting roughly translates as The Art of Street Fighting in American English. Maybe there is something lost in the translation but hey, se la vi.

What do you think of Jason Bourne's expertise of kali? How effective of a street fighting skill is it?

2011-11-18T04:25:00.000-08:00

I just started an Arnis class at the local YMCA, and I am really enjoying it. But, it honestly doesn't look much like anything that the fictional character in the Bourne movies is doing. The actual style appears to me to be very effective.

Understand, that there are 78 recognized dialects in the Philippines. One region can be like a different country compared to the next. The making of the Bourne movies does not say if they are using Kali/Eskirma/Arnis from which of the 3 major regions of Luzon, Visayas, or Mindanao.

The fact that they are using the word "Kali" suggests that this is a Hollywood version of the Filipino art.

Reply:nice choreography, i enjoyed how he kicked that guys @$$ with a book. well, done! anyways, it can be very useful in a street fight
Reply:Looks pretty good. Although some of the moves are a bit overboard, but that's probably only due to gratuitous use of cinematic license, it is still a movie afterall and they need to sell it. The Kali I studied did have unorthodox disarming moves and counters against bladed weapons, but not as complicated as those in the movie. Most blade attacks target the limbs and extremities to draw blood and try to weaken or soften the opponent up for the kill. Though I wouldn't try any of those fancy kicks as that would likely draw a knife thru your leg and groin area.
Reply:The Filipino martial arts are very effective. Its a full range to close quarters fighting system that employs grappling and a well versed use in weapons.

This to every boxer , martail artist,westler i would like to here view on street fighting how you would do it?

2011-11-18T04:24:00.007-08:00

i would like hear from all types fighter because to hear from other way and styles how the train and handle them self in real thing

This to every boxer , martail artist,westler i would like to here view on street fighting how you would do it?
There is no way of knowing how you would react in a street situation it is all in the moment with so many variables that it is almost impossible to pre empt.

The best form is to see it comming and aviod it but if this fails you have to hope some of your training can penitrate through the adrenaline and work in an instinctive way, if you have to think about it you will be finished before you start.

There are many arts which train and revolve around street defence they have there place. But many of them practise drills with pasive partners. There are those within these arts who understand that these are drills not reality and suppliment their training with an art which allows them free style movement and combat.

This is important because if you have never been hit you have no way of knowing how you would cope with it.

A sport style which involves punching and kicking although governed by rules will develope not only body but mind conditioning when it comes to being hit hard.

Ultimatly in the first instance this is what a street fighter will try and do so it follows that this kind of training is required.

Those who believe that just training in a street based art is enough i fear may come unstuck.

The best thing martial arts can give you is the ability to leave your ego at the gym with the feeling you have nothing to prove. In a sport or traditional stlye this is easy.

In a street stlye the street is the only place to prove your ability therefore in my experiance these students are less likley to walk away, and most likley to be defeated
Reply:kb1. I disagree, THINKING is what you want to do. You need to be constantly assessing the situation. The brain is our evolutionary weapon.

You want to be confident, level headed, and you want to transition from the defense to the offense and overwelm your opponent. People win fights when they convince the other person they are losing.
Reply:If it's a one-on-one fight, wrestling %26amp; jiu-jitsu (basically any grapling style) will be effective because most fights will end up on the ground/in a clinch if at least one of the fighters wants it to go there. If more people are invovled in the fight, though, grapling techniques will only be semi-effective because while you're holding onto one person, other people can club you. In that case, techniques that keep opponents at a distance (kicking techniques) and ones that teach control of your opponents without grappling (e.g. aikido, some forms of kung-fu) are more effective.
Reply:I am all three of those things. Wrestled for 2 years in high school, was a 3rd degree yellow belt in Karate when in elementary school, and have been boxing every year I was in school. As for the boxing thing, I'll tell you, it was the real thing since I got in fights in school, they weren't boxing matches, I just got into fights. To answer your question, it depends on the situation, and how my opponent is positioned, sometimes I'll use wrestling moves if he's up close, I'll throw karate kicks when he tries to punch, and I'll box the rest of the time. Aside from that, it also depends on what style you learn first, I was a boxer before anything else and I prefer to fight in a boxing stance, arm's distance from my opponent, and I prefer moving around my opponent and dodging instead of blocking or using any grapples.
Reply:running is important form of training to disciplined in
Reply:im a 1st dan black belt in taekwondo and how i train is pretty straight forward. u streach before u train so u dont pull anything and so u can be a littl emore loose. and u just do drills and sparing and learn from mistakes. in the real thing u have to be confident. confident enough that u dont have to think because u already know wat to do. and make sure u dont get tunnel vision if they have a weapon. i would use as many long range shots as i could with my legs. i only use my hands if i have to. and if i do get close its good to know take downs and different locks to use on their bodies like a head lock or arm bar so u can hurt him enough so he wont get up again but wont do any permanate damage
Reply:I hate to sound like a wiseass, but the best technique is to not be there in the first place. The more experience you have in streetfighting, the more you'll realize that no one wins all their fights, and eventually, you're going to lose pretty spectacularly. All the martial arts in the world means very little when someone pulls a firearm and goes kinetic.

OK, enough philosophy. Your fighting style has to change based on numbers, environment, and techniques. No style is going to be perfect--using your head and outthinking your enemies is the only answer.

Are you facing a huge brute with hands the size of hams, is it 4 punks with knives, one dude with a gun, or some random drunk trying to impress his friends.

Have a ground game (BJJ), so that even if you don't want to fight on the ground, you know how to achieve dominant position and get up. Know that discretion is the better part of valor and give the mugger with the gun your wallet--a couple credit cards are easy to replace compared to death or serious injury. Facing multiple people and winning really only works for Jet Li or Bruce Lee. RUN! If you can't run, cover your back and keep moving to minimize the number that can engage you at once. If it's just one loudmouth inciting his gangbanger buddies and you can't get away, make an example of him. If he's unconscious or screaming because you've hyperextended his elbow or knee, the fight will often drain out of his friends.

Above all, act confident--many times this will stop a fight from ever starting.
Reply:it deppends on the situation that your in on street fights use your head if your being confronted with a mob of people then run if theres only you and an opponent with out a gun then muay thai kickboxing is the best suited for this situation together with shotokan and brazilian jujitsu
Reply:I usually try to shy away from fight by any means. Even if it mean making opponent think I am afaird of them.

I've got in fight twice and both was a really stupid mistake. First fight happen in mall, there was a guy with two friends. The guy end up grab my sleeve and tried to hit me so I move close, wrap my arm around his waist and hold onto his arm with another as I fake a throw to get him pulls back. When he pulls back, I turn and quickly hook my leg around him, sweeping him down on the floor. Once both of his friends saw this and the guy was pretty much dazed from his head hitting the floor, they ran away. I was extremely lucky that they were a coward instead of try to fight. I put the lock on the guy until securities came.

Second time, I was in bus when a man got mad at me and I was in back corner of bus. The man was mad because I put my bag on empty chair (stupid I know...) after about 10 mins of ignoring his yellig. He pulls out a small knife, when I saw that, I push it away and move toward him and put a choke on him while pinning him agaist the widow. He end up bit my thumb. Few people finally got to us and pulls us apart.

In both situtation, I could have got really messed up if they make the right move, but I got extremely lucky.

So I try to avoid fight as much as possible and ever since the knife incident, I have always told myself "that is it! No more being a nice guy! I am gonna to go straight for knock out or bone breaking" I don't care if I end up go to prison. I would rather to be judge by 12 than carry by 6.

Also the odd thing is I'm a Muay Thai fighter. However in first fight all I used was judo. Second fight it was all brazil jiu jitsu. So that should tell you much about how easy it's to say you will do this ad that in street fight but when the time come, you're completely lost and do pretty much anything that first come to your mind.
Reply:the best way, is to walk away, if your trained right, you know your a dangerous weapon, you can destroy with your bare hands, don't deminish yourself, walk away. Its a felony in the real thing.
Reply:myself and a friend of mine have independently trained in silat, iron body and aikido, so if someone has a knife its not hard to disarm them, but i dont openly go somewhere looking for a fight.

Could you tell me sth. execellent about aikido's self-defense in street-fighting?

2011-11-18T04:24:00.005-08:00

there is none. I did greco wrestling at international wrestling and basically it does all the things aikido wishes it could do in real life.

When we cross trained with aikido guys they were very very basic, could not defend any of our hand control or upper body takedowns, and generally would not let us train againbecause we would not 'allow ourselves to be thrown' by their black belts.

Which apparently is what you are supposed to do when they start turning your wrist etc.

Which is ridiculous-if it does not work, it does not work. Some of their techniques made sense, but they did not apply them in full contact or free sparring, so they never really got the hang of them.

As to the really tricky moves that supposedly make people fly through the air with the flikc of a wrost, all I can say is there are 85million wrestlers in the world constantly competing and looking for new advantages, probably 50 times more people than aikido.

If those tricky techniques actually worked, wrestling and judo would have been using them a long long long time ago.

Sorry it looks great on TV and when Steven seagal does it on the movies, and was probably very lethal when it was first invented, but what gets taught today is just a way to sucker guys into paying for something they think is going to work.

Could you tell me sth. execellent about aikido's self-defense in street-fighting?
Yeah ^ is right, the only reason you wouldnt pressure test an art is if it didn't work, i remember my Aikido training and thinking back, the only thing i got from it is a sore back from allowing myself to get thrown

Aikido is more of danceing than anything, its very spiritual and is good in that sence but its martial art aplication is about as much as capoeira, some stuff works but its too much of a dance to be trully effective
Reply:I guess I'll take the other road on this one. I train in Aikido as well as BJJ/MMA and some Kali. I have found that the ideas and concepts from Aiki work well and are effective in real life. Alot of people train Aikido in a very soft way, which is fine and dandy. However, I like to get a little more physical with it from time to time. A foe, being someone who is resisting you and trying to take your head off, tends not to allow you to do the tech. on them. When you train Aikido in a relaxed, soft and compliant way all the time, this would give you problems. Now if you train with resistance and non-compliance then you learn that infact the tech. can and does work, you just need to train it alittle more agressive. I love Aikido and will stand behind the fact that it works, at least for me it does. Added to my BJJ it has enhanced both 100 fold for me. This is just my xp and may not be that of others. I understand that I am not the "normal" Aikido student because of my views of realism and combat but for me Aiki works and is very effective.

Why don't boxers use their legs for kicking like in real street fighting?

I want to get into mma how can i convince my parents that its not just street fighting with a ref in the ring?

2011-11-18T04:24:00.003-08:00

ive tried to explain its safer than boxing because the refs are more prone to stop the fight if ur not doing very good but they wont belive me they say since there are thinner gloves i will get hit harder and being able to throw knees and elbows is just to dangerous this is something i really want to do how can i make them understand

I want to get into mma how can i convince my parents that its not just street fighting with a ref in the ring?
No Offense here, dude.

But if you can't man up to your parents and convince them to LET you fight, how are you gonna convince someone in the ring you can beat them.

They might be right. this might not be for you.

If this is what you wanted, you'd go do it and accept the consequences. The best fighter NEVER asked permission from their mom.

Instead, you are here whining they won't "let" you fight. If you are underage, do as much as they'll let you and get as good as you can at whatever level they let you compete at.

Then when you are of age, make the switch. You'll have some catching up, but if you've excelled in the other areas, it should be an easy learning curve.

Reply:If you need to ask your parents permission, you are in the wrong sport. Do yourself a favor and stick to video games kid.

Reply:Have them check out a class at a local gym. Educate them on the martial arts that are used in mma.
Reply:mma is basically street fighting with a ref, once you use martial arts to do something other then defend yourself it becomes street fighting and abusing it. Also boxing leads to long term damage like brain damage after YEARS and YEARS of doing the sport, while mma is more prone to short term damage like broken bones and fractures.

since you gotta ask mommy and daddy for permission in the first place, bob would advise you stay out and leave mma to the big boiz
Reply:Take them to a good Jiu Jitsu gym. Its a great base for mma, and a place your parents will enjoy.
Reply:Don't call it MMA, tell them u want to join some bjj classes or what have u. Be smart about it.
Reply:don't listen to those other guys. if you can provide your own transportation and can pay for it, your parents can't really stop you. if that isn't the case. tell them it'll teach you how to defend yourself better. tell them it'll help get you into shape and will boost your self-esteem. tell them you are more likely to get hurt in boxing because in mma they teach you how to fight as safely as possible and its not full contact. (unless it is) if all else fails, take demo classes and let them watch. you have to show them how much you want this. make a stand if its really important too you. if it's not, then maybe it's not for you. a sport like mma takes a lot of commitment and determination. its intense. the best way to convince your parents is too throw reason after reason at them and wear them down until they give it. kinda similar to some MAs
Reply:I agree with the others that say if you can't face your parents, you aren't in the right sport. If you can talk to them like an adult, you should explain that it is really self defense techniques that you will be learning and applying what you learn on a regular basis, and hopefully be good enough at it that you can earn money. I've got both of my kids in the bjj classes and they love it. We live in a big city where children get abducted, molested or just turn up missing. Usually it is the ones that fought back that have gotten away. If they are afraid you may get hurt, that is normal. They are supposed to care about your safety. There is a possibility you will get hurt in any sport. You just have to explain to them that this sport actually prepares you for real life situations as well.
Reply:Well, i was taught boxing and wing chun by my grandfather and dad, reasons being they did not want me to join any school out there. They fear that schools out there will teach me wrong stuffs or impart me with wrong values.

Wat i did was that i sneak to a TKD class every week. I kept it a secret for a few months after they found out that i was going for a tournament. Initially, my parents wanted me to get out of the class and with draw from my first tournament, i sat them down and had a talk with them. I even brought them to my class to take a look at how we train. My dad told my mum this, "Our boy has grown up. At least he know how to handle us." My grandfather even stopped me from quitting.

Sometimes your parents may just be worried of the company that you may mix ard during training. Or they think you'll just pick up a fight more frequently. Explain to them that you'll be good and maybe take them to your class to have a look. Build up their confidence in you.

Good luck and train hard!

How can i achieve the increase in strength for my upper body for sports like those? Especially strength in punching and durability in taking punches too

I want to increase my upper body strength, for sports like street fighting and boxing,?
Get yourself a heavy bag and start training with it, trust me it's a great trainer for upper body strength! Here's a site for a good read. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson1...

Good luck!
Reply:Go to the boxing gym, get a guy to punch you in the body for 5 mins then break 1 min then 5 mins then break 1 min etc.

Also start hitting the weights, and work on some neck strengthening exercises.

All the best!
Reply:if you want to increase your upper body strength then you should do pull ups.
Reply:There are lots of exercises you should do to train for boxing.... running, jump rope, push-ups, sit-ups, squat thrusts, kettlebell swings, weightless squats, bench press. Go to crossfit dot com for more ideas.

Also practicing punching will give you strength. Hit a heavy bag with large gloves about 16 or even 18 ounces. Do each of these for 1 min then rest for a min. work your way up to doing 3 min then rest for a min. It's good to practice in rounds just like how you would fight. This here is a great order...

1. left jab

2.right jab

3.left cross

4.right cross

5.left jab right cross

6.right jab left cross

7.left jab. right cross, left jab

8.right jab, left cross, right jab

9. left hook

10.right hook

11.left jab, left hook

10.right jab, right hook

11.left, jab, right cross, left jab, right hook

12. right jab, left cross, right jab, left hook

and there are countless more combinations as large as the imagination is that you can practice

btw street fighting is not a sport it is a way to end up in jail. my advice is to stick to the gym. you will never learn to be great by fighting in the street.
Reply:Weights. Keep muscle memory in mind though, so lift with explosive movements so you do not lose the quickness you need to punch. There are some training methods like swinging a sledgehammer and picking up tires, push ups on your fist and in different positions, and stuff like that may be you could get off the internet. Some guys don't suggest weights but if you already have fast hands, the benefits of weights outweighs the negative impact because your hands get heavier and it's easier to sit down on your punches. Plus if you in a street fight then you might not always be boxing so it helps to be strong enough to dip somebody.

Who would win and explain...a typical rugby player fighting a typical hockey player in a street fight?

2011-11-18T04:24:00.001-08:00

Though I haven't watched much rugby in my life, I would have to say that the rugby player would win. For one thing, they're more used to fighting other people while wearing shoes, not skates. Also, when hockey players fight, they tend to leave their helmets on and punch at those, for some reason. Hockey players' pads appear much thicker, too, so it seems that the rugby players would have more experience fighting with somewhat less padding. The additional padding of hockey players would also lead to them being a little less calloused, so the rugby players could probably withstand a bit more punishment before being knocked out for the count.

Who would win and explain...a typical rugby player fighting a typical hockey player in a street fight?
Rugger, just a much more violent sport.
Reply:The hockey guy. He's got a big, er, stick and he's not a gentleman....

Boxing takes the ability to think in tough situations and the ability to out smart your opponent. Plus it has rules. If your serious about getting into boxing you should look up on the internet local boxing gyms around you.

In your opinion, are martial arts useful in street fighting?

2011-11-18T04:23:00.003-08:00

It depends on your art, how you train, and what your intent is. Martial arts can be very effective on the street or as useless as imaginable.

In your opinion, are martial arts useful in street fighting?
Yes martial arts are very useful in street fights. Although they aren't glamorous flying kicks from 20 feet away like in the movies the flexibility balance and overall strength you derive from practicing a martial art will greatly help you in a street fight. Street Fights are not the way to go however. Never engage in a street fight unless absolutely necessary.
Reply:Any art that I studied is very good in a street fight. We were working on street fights the other night. They would punch. we would go into front stance, do an outside block and then a rear roundhouse kick. Well, the black belts were, the lower ranks aren't ready for real stuff like that they just stopped at the block.
Reply:Yes, very useful.
Reply:yup
Reply:While you might not find the specific art that you study available to you in a street fight the way that it is in a sparring match, you will find that your increased strength, speed, coordination, balance, stamina and overall physical self-awareness(knowing your range, limits, etc), will come in extremely handy. Even a professional soccer player would have an advantage in a street fight for those reasons. It's more about learning what you're capable of. And hey, if you get the chance to do a 360 hook, **** it!
Reply:Useful yes , but not insurmountable . Remember in a street fight an opponent can bite off your nose , rip off your ear , stomp your head while you are on the ground , and squeeze your testicles till you faint away .
Reply:There's practical and impractical moves. Best way to learn, spar.
Reply:If your style teaches you things that are impracticle for fighting then it wasn't developed for fighting.

There is a time and a place for everything, I think people seem to forget that the reason that most systems are around is to teach people to fight, they're not to impress chicks or look at your self in the mirror and see how cool you look.

At the end of the day, if you learn your sytem well and it is a practical system then you can use it FOR WHAT IT'S DESIGNED TO DO DER!

The only reason the street fight with Shane was good was becuase of all the gimmicks, but the wrestling itself was week. Shane showed off the Coast to Coast, so I guess that was cool, but I would have rather they just let RVD keep that move instead of having to watch tubby boy Shane do it.

But HBK is always amazing to watch, and Hogan just sucks period.

Who would win in a bare knuckle street fight, Pat Sayjak or Alex Trebek?

Have you ever been in a real street fight against more than one person?

2010-05-21T17:38:00.000-07:00

Basically have you ever been jumped by like a dozen guys before blind siding you and what did you do or how did it turn out for you?

Have you ever been in a real street fight against more than one person?
YES unfortunately ONCE in my life.

I was young and it was New Years eve and I was at a public teen dance club with my best friend. This was back in 1988 it was that long ago.

Well any ways one of the guys there did not like me because I was dating his ex girlfriend and I knew something was up because he kept staring at me I just did not know what he had in mind.

Well after new years was over my friend and I left and as we were walking by a section where people can stand behind unseen I was smacked across the face and my friend attacked also. It was my GF's ex and about 7+ of his friends, I cannot be sure how many to be exact.

They only hit me ONCE. Their sneak shot and that was it. i was young and only 17 but I was still a BB in Kenpo and lucky I was. I was NEVER wrestled to the ground, I was never hit anywhere else besides my arms or legs. I used the guy that was my GF's ex as a shield by grabbing him and when they struck at me they would hit him often. He soon stopped trying to grapple me.

Finally I had a chance to check on my best friend and he was lying on the ground in a pool of blood but was moving. I had to get away from them to help him. No one there seemed to care and no cops were around. I fended them off alone and managed to get my friend to his feet and dragged him to the city police station not far from us where we filed a report, then took a drive with them and found 7 of them while the cops drove us around to round them up.

We pressed simple assault charges and they had to do community service for it.

I DO NOT condone fighting, but I DO condone defending yourself and your friends and family.

Ten years later I was in Amsterdam, Netherlands and my friend was so out of it from partying all eve he was staring in a zone on the bus back to our locale where we were staying, me him, and two young ladies. Well his staring pissed off a local apparently for when we got off the bus he followed us and started yelling at my friend and started to approach him. I had an umbrella in my hands. I allowed the man to yell all he wanted at my friend but he noticed real fast every time he took a step toward my friend I took a closer step to him so I would have intervened at that rate. Once he noticed this and that I was NOT messed up like my friend but very awake and alert and had that umbrella ready to open up in his butt if I had too. He finished his yelling and backed away.

No one was hurt. So it is possible to prevent a fight just by standing your groung but not throwing the first punch. You have to know when to stand your ground, know when to back down, and when to walk away. Never should you count on winning a fight or starting one because no matter what anyone says you get hurt in it as well almost every time be it your hand, wrist, fingers. you end up bruising something on yourself, rarely do you ever walk away unscathed so why bother!!

so those are two of my four experiences. NONE but that first was ever a fight though, the other three I prevented via awareness and wit alone. Be fast with your hands sure, but be faster with your brain and wits and you will save your butt far more many time!!!

Reply:i got jumped by 3 men when i was 15. scariest moment of my life! im a small girl and it only took 2 to take me down. but i kept kicking and screaming my head off. i have taken self defense classes and i hit one of them with the heel of my palm under then chin and kicked one of them right in the balls. haha but someone came and helped me so i guess is wasnt really a street fight.
Reply:yea this has happened to me...i got jumped in town one night by myself...im a female but i can kick some ***...there was nine girls that jumped me...i went for the weaker ones first to distract the other ones...once i got them down and the stronger ones paying attention to them i used thier forces on themselves...i would dodge one of them that was attempting to punch me and then they would end up punching the one holding me so they all ended up getting knocked out and thats how it ended...now im the badass in town...its not always good to show your strength...then everybody wants to mess with you....
Reply:yup! lots a times.
Reply:Jumped by five guys on a picket line.. Blind sided at first went down and another came to kick me I reach up and grabbed his go nads a squeezed till he passed out. Took anothe glancing shot to the head but did not knock me over. Kicked another guy in the groin he went down I than turned around as a guy was swinging the baseball bat at me.. I took it away from him and swung it and broke his right leg (at the knee) I hit the other guy on the left arm and I know I broke it..... The last guy ran away.... I called the cops and they all got arrested for attempted murder (it was later dropped to simple assalt) The cops smiled. All six were hard cases from the Teamsters... I was (retired now) an operating engineer... Not really a tough guy but felt like I was fighting for my life... Grant M in Pennsylvania
Reply:Got in a fight .. 3 of us against 5 of them.. it was started when a guy slapped me... I knocked him out in one punch... pounded on another guy for a sec then one of their friends jumped at me from the side... I got an elbow into his chin and before I could get a punch off the bouncer pulled me out... I had enough wits about me to not hit the bouncer so they just let me leave for the night.. No big deal lol. But that's not good.. I've worked my whole life to try and control my very fierce Irish temper.. and it got the better of me that night.
Reply:some times u do what u gotta do. if he's really your "friend" then help him beat those haters up. that's what i would do...
Reply:Been jumped more than once by a few guys as I've cut through the Boston Common, and as I passed through the Charles River parks, both day %26amp; night, summer %26amp; winter. And always by black guys. I haven't been jumped or attempted mugged by white guys in over 25 years.

When you get attacked by more than one person you quickly realize how important it is to take a guy out as fast as humanly possible. And how advantageous it is to have a weapon to aid in diposing of a creep.

That is why I respect the realism of Kung fu with its finger strikes to the eyes, and the spear-hand to the throat of Karate. Jiu-jitsu's wristlocks are excellent to down a guy real quick so you can dispose of his buddy next.

Sometimes I've used Judo (OGoshi, Koshi Guruma, O Soto Gari) to down a guy while I move on my second attacker with hand strikes, then return to the other clown to finish him off (break his fingers, etc.). Then quickly leave the scene or else you will get hauled off to jail for successfully defending yourself (legal system really sucks).

I refuse to be intimidated by punks and always walk through the same path the next day going to and from work or dojo. But never tell anybody of those experiences.
Reply:******* 12 people run! You got nothing to prove they're too pussy to face your friend one on one so they gang up. They know they can't lose 12-1! But if it does happen and you can't run, aim for the balls and the throat. No joke no matter how strong someone is they still have a vulnerable dick and throat. and 12-1 they don't deserve sympathy/mercy

Is Nihon Goshin Aikido effective in a street fight?

2010-05-21T17:37:00.002-07:00

it is all in how you train. if you train for practical fighting, then you will fight in a practical way giving you room to dance

But if you train in a dance form, then you will have a hard time fighting in a practical way . hope this helps

Is Nihon Goshin Aikido effective in a street fight?
always down to the man not the system. depending on your experience or lack of,sounds like you are lacking somwhere by the calibre of the question.work harder and you will know the answer to this question[train hard,fight easy] quote from rick young,if you dont know him tough.
Reply:The most common criticism of aikido is that it suffers from a lack of realism in training.
Reply:some of aikidos knife drills would be very handy if trained realistically.

The general consensus amongst us grapplers is the unarmed grappling Aikido does, lets itself down by not having realistic sparring.

Simply all of us, greco wrestlers, judo guys, BJJ guys kick aikido guys asses any time we go into their clubs.

Then we get told not to come back because we do not 'let the blackbelts throw us'.

...And that is the problem with aikido sparring. it would be a lot better if they cut all the BS and just sparred.
Reply:I dont know about that kind of aikido, but i train in tenshin aikido and it can teach you things if you train in it long enough like how to take people down with knifes staffs and if your really good multiple attackers with weapons... but so far I've been in it for like 3-4 months now and i can take down like 2-3 of my friends without even hardly trying. were just messing around though. I've never used it in a fight.

Who would win a no holds barred street fight between Bill Clinton and George W. Bush?

2010-05-21T17:37:00.001-07:00

Tough one...Bush is younger and in better shape, but I'll bet once Clinton realized he couldn't talk his way out of it, he'd reach back to his roots and fight dirty, hillybilly-style. I'd say Bush wins a pyrrhic victory, coming out of the Octagon with a bloody nose, half-gouged eye, ruptured testicle, and missing a clump of hair, whereas Clinton lies dead on the ground from a shattered windpipe (or maybe a shotgun blast from Cheney). Then later on, Roger Clinton would spark a decades-long feud with a revenge killing of Jeb Bush. Finally, Laura and Hillary, as matriarchs of the two clans, would meet to discuss ending the feud in around 2060, and Hillary would stab her in the back while shaking her hand, with a cold steely look in her eye. After being taken to jail, she'd admit in her confession statement that she did it to avenge her 2008 Presidential hopes, not her husband.

Reply:Bush would win , he is in better physical shape... though Clinton would try to cheat his way out, or have Hillary finish the fight for him...then he could say " I did not have a fight with that man!"... ala Monica lewinski...lol...
Reply:W is obviously in far better physical shape than Bill. However street fighting is about more than just physical condition. One must also consider experience and will. My guess is that W had a few scrapes in his younger heavy drinking days. On the other hand Bill was hanging out at Oxford and not even inhaling so he was pretty much a pantywaist. W became a pilot so he had some physical conditioning there. Bill left the country. W jogs, rides bicycles, and plays golf to relieve stress. Bill was known for sneaking out for a double cheeseburger or staying in and playing with interns. My last observation is that W wears the pants in the Bush family while Hillary obviously calls the shots for Bill.

So I think the fight would go down like this:

Bill comes out talking trash. W punches him right in the gut. Bill blows chow and can't catch his breath. W starts to brag about having Bill on the run, but wait...

Hillary has entered the ring and she looks pissed. Bill is on his knees gasping for air. He's clutching his chest. W is backing in circles and stuttering as he tries to reason with Hillary. She doesn't even hear a word she is full steam ahead. OUCH! That was below the belt! Hillary has K O'd W with a mean FAR LEFT punch to his conservative region. Uh oh, just when it looked like it was all over here comes Cheney with a shotgun. He's got that crooked smile and a gleam in his eye. Hillary is trying to hide behind Bill, but Bill is pushing her away. Cheney is shouldering his firearm. Wait, Jimmy Carter has entered the ring. "Can't we all be friends? There's no need for bloodshed." pleads Jimmy. Cheney is turning on him. It looks like a standoff. Cheney is lowering his weapon. Secret Service men are leading him away in handcuffs. Bill is trying to make a speech: "I feel my pain. This is a result of right wing media bias. This is racism. I demand a rematch."

Well folks there you have it. It looks like a split decision. Both fighters were knocked down. There is no clear winner here. The crowd looks confused. They don't know who to root for. Folks we need a champion. The crowd is beginning to chant "ARNOLD! ARNOLD! ARNOLD!"

I duck under and throw a left hook. Everyone throws that right crazy haymaker, so I immediately get ready to duck under and throw the left... After that I take 'em down, mount, and throw the elbows until he submits... If I'm angry, I'll go after his arms (arm lock, Shoulder lock)...

Has anyone used Karate in a real street fight?

2010-05-21T17:35:00.002-07:00

How did it go??? Just wondering.

Has anyone used Karate in a real street fight?
No because I never studied karate.

I have however used the martial arts I've studied (with the exception of swordsmanship and knife fighting) in a fight.

I have used a jutte to defend myself in a questionable situation that in retrospect I probably shouldn't have.

I have used boxing in a fight with success.

I have used wrestling in a fight with success to avoid being tackled and to slap on a lock to control my opponent. Grappling was the more diplomatic option.

I have also used a good elbow strike from my more recent CMA training to hit someone who while "playing peacock" got threateningly too close that ultimately avoided a fight and took the bravado off this guy who probably just had one too many (well avoided punches being thrown at me).

EDIT:

I'm disappointed at the people who gave sloar, a thumbs down. I think he and his answer is probably very accurate and it is an accurate statement about the reality of the low quality of training and rampant appearance of mcdojos and black belt factories that hand these awards out to anyone who does a few dance moves and breaks some plywood.

I've heard "old timers" say that back in the day they didn't award a black belt to someone unless not only have they mastered the techniques, but in the opinion of the teacher, that they could handle themselves in a real fight.

If someone were to tell me they were a black belt quite honestly I would probably go easy on them because I wouldnt' take him as seriously. Anyone who is going to really be one that deserves the rank and can fight- is not going to give away valuable tactical information like that regarding his ability. in short- unless you know them personally (that they are a black belt) then they are lying or they are a "fake" black belt.

Reply:I used some of the blocks,gave the guy a roundhouse kick in the head and an axe kick to the nads. Didn't kill him, knock him out, or anything but it made him realize continuing the fight would not be a good idea. And that's what self defense is all about. It's about ending the fight quickly and with minimal personal injury to you.
Reply:Yes I have, and I'm still alive and practing martial arts. Remember that with the martial arts, you will only get out of it what you put into it.
Reply:Nope. Just to avoid a few.
Reply:Not a street fight, but an attacker who broke into my house. It worked, he fled, or tried to, when he got my bedroom door open he was met by my dog. Wasn't pretty.

The skills you learn in Martial Arts are less important than the mind set it gives you. I can't tell you what moves I used on that guy, but I can remember thinking fairly clearly for being under attack at 2 am. The cops were amazed that I fought him off, and later told me that I broke 4 fingers and had hit, but not broken his nose. Made sense to me, I love to target the nose and finger locks are my most feared move at the dojo!
Reply:Not me personally, but I knew this guy nicknamed "Bulldog" back in college. He was a weightlifter, was 5' 10" weighed 0ver 200lbs and had a blackbelt in Karate(Shotokan I think). He was one bad cat. One day during a birthday party at the beach, our group got into a rumble with a group of skinny street punks who had too much to drink and were rowdy as hell. Bulldog jumped into the fray and started kicking their a$ses and was doing a pretty good job until one of the punks picked up a rock the size of a shoe and hurled it straight into his face, it goes without saying it stopped him d3ad in his tracks. After major surgery to repair his nose, jaw and cheekbone, Bulldog now looks exactly like his namesake. Moral of the story: Why throw punches when you can hurl rocks?

For the first one, there was this pimp beating his "girl" up and black belt Karate master came up and told him to stop. The pimp didn't know he was a karate master so he just lunged at him. Druing to process, the karate master uses a quick strike to the pressure point and the pimp falls to the ground and is unable to get up...

Man... I loved that video!

Do an above average amount of teenage street fights occur in bakersfield california?

2010-05-21T17:35:00.000-07:00

whats it like growing up there?

Do an above average amount of teenage street fights occur in bakersfield california?
My guess is that it would be lower than average. Bakersfield is a rather conservative community. It is in part of the central valley's bible belt. Neither the Bakersfield Police Department, nor the Kern County Sheriff's Department would have any tolerance for street fights, teenage or other wise. The courts are very hard on criminals, and criminal activity. As for what is it like living there, it is a moderate sized town which depends on oil and agriculture for its existence. You could easily come to believe that you were living in small town in Texas.
Reply:It depends what part of town you live in. We have some not so nice parts of town where there are gangs and I'm sure fights. Whether or not there are more or less than anywhere else, I can't tell you. As for growing up here, I suppose it's like any other medium sized city. We went to the mall and the movies. Football games on Friday night.
Reply:I just moved here and ummm I have not seen this at all. I was living in LA all my life and there is more drama there than anything. Bakersfield is much more mellow

Which move is the best in a street fight?

2010-05-21T17:34:00.003-07:00

yup yup

Which move is the best in a street fight?
The best street fighting tactics would be either the "eye jab" to temporarily blind your attacker so you can follow through with something else. To do this have your hands up at your chest level and talk with your hands so you don't telegraph your intent to attack. Also attack in mid phrase or sentence. Lets say your phrase is "I dont want any trouble" once you begin saying the word "any" finger jab his eyes.

The "shin kick" or "knee stomp" are also good areas. Both areas can not be conditioned regardless of how big your attacker is. Even if your attacker is a thai boxer who conditions his shins it will hurt him bad by getting kicked with a pair of shoes on (or boots). This will stop him dead in his tracks so you can follow through with another tactic. Regarding "stomping on the knee" or side or back of it follows the same principle. Also the bigger the attacker the more weight that is distributed onto the knee making it easier for you to drop him down to the ground. You only need 12 pounds of pressure to crush a knee.

Another tactic is the "drink throw" tactic simply throw your drink into your attacker face. Lets say it was coffee you would burn him and be able to follow through or get away after you have thrown the drink. If it is just a drink of pop or alcohol it would impair his vision for a few seconds giving you time to follow through with a stomp to the side of the knee.

if you want a chance at winning, rush into it and give it all you have. dont stop till you cant do it anymore or they drop. what have you got to lose? you will lose if you stand there, and dodging attacks only continues the drama. get it on, and get it over.

fighting is not turn based. the winner at any given moment is the person attacking the other. the loser is the one moving back trying to defend.

if you get attacked, hold your forearms up to protect your face and throat and charge them, once they are unable to attack you because you are too close they will have to move... away, and you will already be attacking. this gives them limited chance to hurt you.

of course, everyone is different, and you may encounter someone that fights the same.

norm (above) has some sound advice. especially having the hands up. always look like you dont want a part of it. holding up fists will give your game away. fake, lie, cheat... and overload the opponent through a quick attack. I knee stomp, and love it. if you people only do one kick and hope it is over you are a monkey, for you must surely be in advance mode and have more attacks coming through. better to overkill, than to count your chicken before they have hatched.

deception is the true god of warfare. and if you think that it is dirty fighting, well I say that ALL unwanted fighting is dirty, so fight fire with fire. dont fight to your opponents advantage, fight to your own.

remember, street fighting isnt like chess. if you fight you, me, you, me. then I will smash you. do not ever allow your enemy to regain his cognitive strategy. overload through attacking continuously.

blah blah. sermon over...

Reply:http://youtube.com/watch?v=nloVYTKqgXM
Reply:Yes I would. Bagua Zhang, If applied correctly, is one of the most devastating Martial Arts known to man. Much Like Tai Chi and Hsing Yi, This art uses the practitioners total body mass. This means that if the practitioner weighs 100lbs then that weight plus the power that can be generated by the muscles are added together for each technique. The only problem is that it takes a while to be able to get these techniques to the point that they can be effective. Practice practice practice. Many people want instant results and won't take the time to learn these valuable skills. If you do get it down though, you will know where that training went.

Good Luck

What are some good moves to use in a real street fight?

2010-05-21T17:33:00.000-07:00

I don't want to avoid it and I have made the decision that I want to go through with it. I a kid yesterday and noticed he kept backing down and lowered his head when ever I swung big. What can I do to just beat him in a fight and knock him out?

What are some good moves to use in a real street fight?
Cheat. Bite or hit him when hes not looking. Always get the first punch.
Reply:You can use the escort move when someone punches you catch their wrist turn to the side and bend their hand down wards toward the inside of their arm. Or you could jab your index and middle finger down in between their shoulder and neck which will cause their arm to go numb for a while.

Also get behind the guy and pinch your thumb and index finger over their nose and use the rest of your hand to cover their mouth they will lose conscience in under 3 min.

If you get the chance use the chance use your knuckles and quickly hit their throat this will cause your opponent to gasp for air which gives you good chances to get some punches in on them.Use blinding powders to for a quick and easy one to make use pepper, salt, garlic salt,onion powder, and cinnamon if you get this in their eyes it will blind them for 5-10 min depending on dose. I have been studying ninjutsu for over 8 years now so i think this would be helpful.
Reply:your all p.u.s.s.i.e.s.fighter fags.............
Reply:Something thats pretty hard to dodge is to throw uppercuts to the other person's stomach to knock the wind out of him. One of the most effecive things to do is throw punches straight to his nose. I've never used this in a real fight, just play fights with my friends, but you can try charging him, grabbing his legs, pulling them back and tackling him with your shoulder. Then repeatedly elbow or punch his face and knee him in the side of his stomach. If he tries to push you away with his arms you can also knee him on that little ball thing in his armpit. Pressure points work pretty well but they don't work on certain people. The goal isn't always to knock the person out, but just to make them look bad. Just DON'T kick him in the balls. It will make you look like a total wimp. If any of your friends are in karate they can show you some hella good moves.

Reply:Street Fight=No Rules. Kick him in the nuts, when he goes down kick him in the head and then just start beating the hell out of him.
Reply:If your opponent tends to lower his head when you swing big, you need to use that to your advantage.

Fake a haymaker (big swinging punch) and wait for him to start dipping his head. When it starts to happen, move in and uppercut. As soon as the uppercut is done, lock your hands around the back of his head and start throwing knee strikes into his face and chest.

Trust me, it works.

I've heard the BJJ is the best for a street fight. If true hows does it help you against multiple attackers?

2010-05-21T17:32:00.001-07:00

In this day and age it is likely that a fight will have multiple attackers. I've have witness this since the 80's. I work in the schools and this is normail today. You may see anywhere from 2 to 1 all the way to 10 against 1.

Does BJJ prepare you for this? Please explain how?

Does it jut prepare you for the cage and MMA?

I do find MMA very entertaining. I also like watching boxing, judo, karate, TKD, kung fu, and WWE. I like watching many competitive activities.

I've heard the BJJ is the best for a street fight. If true hows does it help you against multiple attackers?
I've been to a few of seminars with Royler Gracie and we have an inside joke with him. Almost every time he comes to one of our schools, someone waits till the seminar is almost over then asks "So Royler, how do I defend against multiple attackers?"

To which he smiles, laughs, then says "Get a bat."
Reply:It isn't ideal for multiple attackers, and it has never been claimed to be a good route against multiple attackers.

It a straight up 1 on 1 fight, with no weapons, which is THE most common thing to happen, it is proven, and it has been caught on tape many times.

Just search youtube.
Reply:There's also some things that you would do in a Jiu Jitsu competition but never in a street fight - like pull guard!
Reply:nope, multiple attackers is a no-no

if you fight one with his friends there, be sure to stay on top incase he comes and tries to do something to you.

Every martial art has it's flaw, jiujitsu isn't perfect.
Reply:it is good for 1 on 1 but doesn't help you abit when it comes to multiple attackers. Aikido is good for multiple attackers
Reply:all the answers has same perspective.

If you attacked by more than 3 persons, the ideal way is get a tools (like bat or knife); scream for help and run; or learn a self defense system properly and keep calm outside.

BJJ is made for one on one condition. Aikido and Tae Kwon Do (both when you enter black belt or above) are more likely ready against multiple attackers. Off course you should have a very good speed and not to get panic. other martial arts like kung fu, also need speed to help you in this kind of situation.
Reply:10 on 1 is kinda bad if your a BJJ blackbelt. But really it's great 4 self defence if you use it in a street fight your not really using BJJ cause thats not why it's taught. self defence only, other than for competition, i don't see why you would use it ina fight because your on the ground alot... i got bit in a fight when i got a guy in a guillotine choke so if your bjj in a street fight watch for a eye gouge, inted of a tap out.

you don't see an gracies in the ring or octagon cause BJJ takes time to preform and to use on the ground..

Renzo Gracie said that he only has 5 mins in an octagon, thats not enough.
Reply:First let me say this. There is a differance between a street fight and self defense. A street fight is a clash of 2 ego's, and genearally takes a while to get to that stage, and 99.9% can be avoided. The other .1% that cannot be resolved peacefully is self defense.

BJJ is probably very effective in a street fight where your goal is to win. Generally if 2 guy's go at it like this it will be one on one. The crowd don't like interferance. If they do then the BJJ guy is probably screwed.

The main goal in SELF DEFENSE is to survive, period. Most self defense happens because your assailant(s) wants something from you, generally your money or valubles, or other things in the case of females. The last thing you want in these situations is to be on the ground fighting. Somebody attacking you for your valubles is more likely to have a weapon, with the knife probably being the weapon of choice. Do you want to be on the ground trying to lock in a triangle when the femoral artery is open to him?

The goal of self defense is survival, pure and simple. I will actually give up my car, wallett etc. in a heartbeat, and this is all most criminals are interested in. He is not going to hang around to fight with you, he wants it quick and clean.

I know that BJJ claims it teaches stand up, but I have never seen a good example of it. I remember Royce Gracie in the first UFC and his stand up(what little I saw) was laughable. I say this as a person who has trained for 18 years, and seen many different people and styles. Even Royce admitted that he was training Muya Thai before his fight with Hughes.

Being primarily a stand up fighter does not mean that I am not at a disadvantage against multiple people, just as any striker would be. We do train against this in my school though, because we focus on SELF DEFENSE, not fighting. We learn to disengage and get out of dodge at the first oppurtunity, it is after all survival.

To the guy that has the inside joke with one of the Gracies. I too would love a baseball bat against multiple attackers, however it is not normally something I carry around. As for the lady that said you don't pull guard on the street, how you train is how you will fight, garunteed. I also see a dis-preportionant number of BJJ people on here talking about using it in a street fight, or multiple street fights. Strange that in 18 years I have only had to use my Martial Arts physicly only once, and that was choking out a guy who was assaulting a lady. Could it be that some people are not taught that it is only for self defense as stated in the previous answer.

I think in a 1 on 1 street fight BJJ would be very good, I just wouldn't want it to be the only thing I knew, just in case. I have started trainign against a couple of local wrestler's on sprawling and also started to work some nasty ground stuff, in case it does go there, because it is another range, but I wouldn't want it to be the only thing I relied on. In our school we train and prepare for worst case scenarios, hoping we will never need it. I after all want to survive to go home to my family.

AS FOR THE BAT THING-I am sure that the person that attacks or mugs you is going to make an appointment and tell you to bring your bat. Get real and realize that unless you carry a weapon all the time, you will have only yourself and whatever you might pick up to rely on, and if you pick something up, if you don't know how to use it it will be useless.
Reply:I have not trained in BJJ but from what I have seen and heard it is extremely hard to defeat when there is a one on one contest. But if there is more then 1 assailant then it look like you would be at a more of a disadvantage then that of a striking or upright Art, like Brian said (good answer by the way) if there is more then one attacker get a bat.

I to like to watch MMA and the other Arts that compete because it allows me to watch other Martial Arts and people who have mastered them compete. It also allowed me to judge how my Arts that I have learnt stake up in the areas that the competition judges. But I find it hard to judge BJJ because it is very alien to what I know because most of the strength of the Art is based on the floor. Because of this it must prepare you well for UFC tournaments as that is a one on one fight.

That said I find BJJ a very effective art in one on one encounters but I find it wanting against multiple attackers.
Reply:My view is this, Bjj is great (at what it is great at) mult. attacks isn't one of the "great" things about it. I train bjj and mma and love it but I will say, for me, it is not "perfect" there is no such thing as an all perfect system, unless you design it for yourself. What I mean is this, No one art covers everything you need that is designed for you. Even if there was a "perfect" art out there, which there isn't, it would be perfect for the one who created it, not for your or I. The only way you are going to find the perfect art for you is if you develop it for yourself. First you need to learn from many arts, not jsut one. Then adapt those skills to fit you, your body movements and way you do things. Then after all those many, many years you'll have found an art that is "perfect" for you. Now that you have that you then must perfect (as best you can) that style, which takes many, many more years. BJJ is great, for me, as a one on one. I've done ground with three on one and did o.k., but it was training (even though they were trying to take my head off) but I had them all on the ground. If one had been able to get up I would have been in a world of hurt. Again, the more you have the better it could get because if you get one, two or even three on the ground any others standing will most likly hit and kick there buddy while trying to get at you, that may help as well. As far as MMA, I think BJJ is a MUST.
Reply:If you are really worried about being attacked by multiple attackers I wouldn't study BJJ but focus more on kav magaw. Just about every movie is a combo that is followed with a shot to the groin or the eye. If you're on the low side of a 2, 3, 5, or 10 on 1, there are no cheap shots.

Is Aikido effective in a real street fight?

2010-05-21T17:31:00.000-07:00

How does it compare to other styles of martial arts?

Is Aikido effective in a real street fight?
for any Martial art to be effective in a real fight situation, you have to be very, very good and the fighting style has to be second nature and automatic. If it is not, and you spend a split second thinking about it, that second will be when your opponent clumps you in the head and you will loose!
Reply:a
Reply:yes. just break some bones!
Reply:It depends on how quick you are. Aikido is very effective if you have good reflexes. I've taken Aikido and Tae Kwon Do. I once saw a state champion wrestler take down a 6th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He was able to do this due to his agility and speed. The martial arts were no match for this.

Aikido is taught mainly as a defense. You use the other person's aggression against them.

However, if used purely for defense, Tae Kwon Do is also very effective. And since it places more emphasis on attack than does Aikido, if there is an opening you'll be ready to seize it.

Overall, however, if you don't have quick reflexes, I'd try to stay out of street fights.
Reply:I have used the techniques in both street confrontations and in underground pit fighting and found them to be highly effective. As far as their effectiveness as compared to other martial arts, it is a matter circumstance. There are stiuations where an Aikido would be the most effective technique, and there are situation where techniques from another style would work far better.

After 33 years one of the most important things that I have learned about practical usages of fighting techniques thatevery situation is unique and techniques that work in some situation , won't work in others, or would just simply be unsuitable for the level of danger in that situation. No single style is best for everything. Best to use techniques from multiple styles. Will give a wider range of possible responsis and make it kore likely to have techniques in your arsenal that an opponent hasn't encountered.
Reply:Aikido is defensive and has no technique for which to attack your enemy.

If you wanna bring in Aikido for a street fight(looking for trouble), then you'll have to be in defensive for all the time...But that's aint the way to be using martial arts!

If you wanna get OUT of a street fight(self-defense), Aikido will be effective.

If trained very well, Aikido seems to be quite a "dangerous" skill to possess...But that's like...20 years?
Reply:yeah........
Reply:If you were to train aikido to the point where you can use it in a "real fight" or combat situation I'm sure it can be effective. Problem is that most aikido is trained with little or no resistance and little meaningfull sparring in an "open" context where people can do anything. I haven't seen anyone use aikido in this manner, although I'm sure there are schools out there that may be more than just "compliant" training.
Reply:Most forms of aikido do not have attacks, although throws and locks (which become breaks) can definately hurt. I don't know if it is the style or the practioner and how they practice.

If you train realistically you will be able to react realistically.

There are several forms of Aikido. The founder of the art was very good at using it in any condition.
Reply:Last two answer is correct.

Personally I would avoid Aikido though. Aikido is more of a "hit or miss" art because you basically have to try grab person's hand as they hit you which is very very difficult even after years and years of training. Also lot of Aikido classes that I have seen put most focus on grab person wrist, like anyone will stand still so you can grab their wrist in a real fight.

So I would find something else if I was you.
Reply:Aikido is effective, but it isn't the style, it is the practitioner that makes it effective in any given situation. If you aren't well trained in any style then you aren't likely to be really effective on the street. A little old lady who's good with a cane could beat a poorly trained or very inexperienced martial artist.
Reply:The question isn't "is aikido effective in a real street fight", the question is "is aikido effective at all", and the answer is no.

Reply:I'm sure it could be. Like alot of other martial arts if you know how to do it it could be effective.
Reply:Short answer: Yes.

But...

Street fight or street confrontation. Not same. Very different.

Street fight implies that you are fighting as well. If you are fighting, it isn't Aikido, it's just bad jiu jitsu. Bad jiu jitsu is probably worse than no jiu jitsu.

If you are simply defending yourself and stay out of your fighting mind it would be hard to find anything *more* effective than Aikido. In a truly Aikido mindset you don't react, you respond.

And you can be creative. The accidental "techniques" that are a result of adapting to the situation combined with comprehensive movement training are often the most impressive.

No technique ever goes as planned. So if you are attached to a particular way of doing things, you are going to get hammered. But if you stay out of the "fight" and just take things as they come your training will handle the situation for you. This is true, really, of any martial art.

The single hardest aspect of Aikido training is learning to stay out of your fighting mind. Not responding to aggression with aggression is *not* second-nature to most of us and it takes a great deal of training and meditation to develop this skill.

That being said: when people say Aikido is not effective it makes me wonder how all the people who I've known personally who've used Aikido to defend themselves managed to do so. Magic?
Reply:I feel comparably, it is more fully encompassing, and touches upon all other important aspects of other arts, in a focused way, as there are only so many ways to break, lock, restrain, etc. Aikido has anything one needs, as for martial arts in its very purpose, and is also enlightening. I do below copy again another post I wrote to someone else in this query regarding the magic of Aikido, I hope you enjoy the videos. Aikido. The founder of this art also wrote "The Art Of Peace" Ueshiba........Which is at the opposite end of the spectrum of the "The Art Of War" written by Sun Tzu...which is required reading of all Japanese business students. The concept of peace is shown in the founder Ueshibas art-form of Aikido. Alot of the EVASIVE techniques used in Seagals movies are Aikido derived(Also his fluency in the combination of chin na with Aikido is to be admired)-although Aikido has its own forms of submission somewhat similar to Chin na at advanced stages of its teachings . I like the whole concept of Aikido as it evokes a thought of "opposing forces" that can only be described as, well, "bringin' it to yourself", but its usually better to just walk away.....because as you watch some of Aikido's demonstrations (they have a few on the net) at least they used to-and I was also lucky enough to know someone who introduced me to it while I lived in Chicago-and the demonstrations were magical (This is Aikidos USA headquarters-Chicago is), you will find it to be very flowing and harmonious as to the attackers will as to the amount of damage he receives. Sort of like the epitome of Karma-but karma that comes much more quickly to fruition. Check it out. Peace.

I just checked-go to Yahoo videos and enter Aikido demonstrations. There are some there. Very cool

NINEDEMON-Noone in a streetfight "gives" you anything, noone gives you a temple to strike, etc.- but as in larp sao (sticky hands in Chinese)"exercises", the grabbing of the wrist elevates the "awareness" of the touch of the oncoming attack and allows your feelings to guide you to this area-which also in this exercise-allows the practitioner to understand the human bodys kinesiology (the way it works, bends, responds to movement)

MICHAEL RIEHLE-

Short answer: Yes.

But...(contradiction to first intention and answer-a sign of hesitation)

Street fight or street confrontation. Not same. Very different. (Water is wet-useless statement-one who wastes chi on nothing-or has no control)

Street fight implies that you are fighting as well. (It doesn't IMPLY it, the word fight goes to show fact by its meaning-confusion of focus) If you are fighting, it isn't Aikido, it's just bad jiu jitsu. ( Aikido is not bad jiu jitsu-Aikido is Aikido, and jiu jitsu is jiu jitsu-any martial art can become combative-Websters Dictionary: Martial:Of, or relating to, or like war) Bad jiu jitsu is probably worse than no jiu jitsu. (A toddler always walks better than an infant)

If you are simply defending yourself and stay out of your fighting mind it would be hard to find anything *more* effective than Aikido. (Aikido strives for peace-you are correct) In a truly Aikido mindset you don't react, you respond. (Webster's Dictionary: react:To respond to stimulus)

(Webster's Dictionary: respond:To reply 2. To act because of the prompting of something:react. 3. To react positively.-what you said contradicts itself-this shows probable poor follow through in execution-contradictive thought process)

And you can be creative. The accidental "techniques" that are a result of adapting to the situation combined with comprehensive movement training are often the most impressive. (This is what I refer to as the larp sao exercises-or awareness exercises referred to for someone else here-flowing like water-chi)

No technique ever goes as planned. (NO technique? defeatist hypnosis works too I guess, but always or never are not harmonious to enlightentment-yin and yang-this statement shows poor teaching skills-but adaptation to ones surroundings is good). So if you are attached to a particular way of doing things, you are going to get hammered.(This is a broad statement, and defeatist-I can say if you are attached to becoming part of the flow of a path that works for you-hone it-and always learn from it-as the Book Of Changes says this is the way-as we get better both by bettering our weaknesses, but so much more better by honing our strengths, which usually make our weaknesses wean off of themselves-this is a taoist concept) But if you stay out of the "fight" and just take things as they come your training will handle the situation for you. This is true, really, of any martial art. (Now THERE is the "magic"-some martial arts are not borne to become one of staying out of the fight-especially the arts that are more considered sports-and this magic-which so does show the yin and the yang-and disharmony of so many things that you said, is the true "magic" of Aikido-the attacker fighting against themselves-the divinity of its own fruition)

The single hardest aspect of Aikido training is learning to stay out of your fighting mind. Not responding to aggression with aggression is *not* second-nature to most of us and it takes a great deal of training and meditation to develop this skill.

That being said: when people say Aikido is not effective it makes me wonder how all the people who I've known personally who've used Aikido to defend themselves managed to do so. Magic?

30+ years of involvement in MA training, most of it in Aikido. Encounters both good and bad.

Wow, that's alot of years to have expressed your concept of the art as you did.

MAGIC: Websters Dictionary: The art that purports to control natural events or forces through, of, or pertaining to, a divine agent.

You come across as a very condescending person, and even though I try to stay humble-I felt it okay to explain my concept of Aikido in a word-like fashion, using your words as its force, I hope you don't mind the example-master. By the way, those who speak of their tao........................................ if after 30 years of studying Aikido, you do not understand the concept of "?"magic" I personally have explained above, maybe your history of your art will lead you to some of Ueshibas (The founders) concept of it%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

If Sokaku Takeda can be said to have provided the technical basis for the later development of aikido, it was Onisaburo Deguchi, leader of the Omoto sect, who offered the key spiritual insights that struck a responsive chord in the religiously oriented Morihei. This second installment in a series of essays on Morihei Ueshiba by Aiki News Editor-in-Chief Stanley Pranin focuses on the relationship between the aikido founder and Onisaburo, which had a major bearing on the spiritual thinking of Morihei and the ethical framework of aikido.

Nice picture, by the way
Reply:Aikido is as effective as the practitioner.

The one thing I will say (so as not to inflame the discussion) is that Aikido is one of those styles that teaches you an awareness of ALL of your opponents. It is drawn from sword culture, where there are situations in which you must face MANY combatants on the field. Aikido will train you to handle more than one opponent from more than one direction.

Which skill is the best for street fight?

2010-05-21T17:30:00.001-07:00

hard puncher

technical wrestler

or size/strength

Which skill is the best for street fight?
alertness/awareness...yes, being able to punch, wrestle, etc are important, but you need to know where you are and what is around you. in a street fight, there is no such thing as a fair fight. the best thing is to be able to asses what is in your environment and what you could use in it to your advantage as a weapon, weakness, etc. don't be afraid to throw dirt in someone's eyes, or to pick up a heavy stick/pipe. in a street fight, there are no rules except for to make sure they don't get up so you can get away.
Reply:wrestling. In all reality the fight will probably end up on the ground. If you're lucky someone will break it up by then.
Reply:Good runner!!!
Reply:Technical wrestler. Submission is the best strategy for victory.
Reply:Street smarts.

This can't be emphasized enough.

Street smarts will tell you when a situation is developing.

Street smarts will tell you what to do to get away from/defuse a situation.

Street smarts will tell you when your only choice is to stand your ground and when you are left with no other option but to defend yourself.

I'm sorry. I know this isn't really what you're asking for, but a good wrestle will beat a bad puncher any day and vice-versa. No sense squabbling which is better. Street situations - by which I mean assaults - should certainly not be sought after. Legally speaking, there can be a very thin line between a fight and an assault.

Always keep in mind other opponents may be unseen. Always assume weapons may be involved.

Therefore, avoid at all costs.
Reply:Toughness. The ability to shrug of painful blows. But out of those three I'd say hard punches.
Reply:Hard striker (hands %26amp; feet). Wrestling tends to end up on the ground %26amp; if you have more than 1 attacker, that is the last place you want to be. Also grappling requires more tome to disable each attacker. Time is something you are unlikely to have.

Reply:It has been explained to me that the reason Muay Thai and BJJ trained people do so well in "real" fights is that they actually train with body contact. I saw a documentary on these little thai kick boxers, who every year would go to Japan and take on the karate masters...and beat them up, even though the Thai's were much smaller. It was put down to the fact that in training, the Thais had full contact all the time, the karate dudes hardly ever. The best skill is to know how to take full contact.
Reply:"When the attacks come, i moved my mind.".....so the best weapon in street fight is your mind..
Reply:truly the best is dont be there.

but if you have to be there it all depends on the situation.

if your in a bar there isnt a lot room and you dont want to go to the ground. so harder punches or elbows and joint locks would work best. if some one is bigger than you you cant really out wrestle them so you cant really rely on just that. and if some one knows how to fight someone whos larger or stronger than them they can use the larger persons size to their advantage.
Reply:People seem fresh. Its all about choosing your enemies wisely and if you're unconfident know you shouldn't bother fighting, especially if you need to ask questions about fisticuff on yahoo! whoever inflicts the most damage upon their opponent wins, meaning either hit first and hardest or hardest and most, if you are more bloody, you lose. Don't fight bikers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Chuck Norris. If you think street fighting is about wrestling or grappling you're boring to watch. Geneaology and personal experiences act as the largest factor. Fin.
Reply:In a street fight, you're not likely to have the option of wrestling or grappling that easy and the truth is the way to fight a street fight is to fight it like a street fight. You're not gonna see people going for full mount or trying to pull submissions. If you start choking someone in a street fight, you got another thing coming cause people aren't gonna let you choke someone and you'll be getting into a deathmatch i think. Best strategy is grab the guy, grab his head and start hitting it or shoving it into a wall or the ground. That's a street fight lol. MMA doesn't change that in my mind. Can't be taking someone's back, stepping away from punches or the usual stuff you see in a professional fight. Brutality wins a street fight, there's some strategy but not the finesse we see in MMA.
Reply:Guess in every fight there will be a different opponent fighting under different circumstances.

Some might say tt the fight will go to the floor but you can avoid that by using the proper stand up techniques. It all depends on what youre good at and how you assess the situation to maximise your arsenal's effectiveness.

However, one universal advantage for ANY fighter is the ability to sustain blows. You can move as fast, as rough or as perfect as you wish but if you cannot take a blow you'll still end up loosing a great deal. One clean hard blow, lucky or not will take you out and open up doors for other blows to follow.

Train more in whatever you can and always spar and fight to broaden your horizons. Gain exposure with other better more professional fighters that yourself. You'll eventually get better and better yourself if you can continue to up your game.

Stand Up, Wrestling, Grappling, watever the style, its up to you to find out whats best for you.

What is more important in a street fight- big muscles or strength?

2010-05-21T17:30:00.000-07:00

Could bulk alone help? Or would a limber strong man have a better advantage. You always see bouncers at clubs and they have the bulky look. But would a small extremely strong man also do a good job with manhandling folks if he had to?

What is more important in a street fight- big muscles or strength?
There is a few ways to answer this, a guy with big bulky muscles is definately strong, don't get it twisted. You don't develop big muscles and be weak.

I bounce at clubs and have 2 professional MMA guys work with me, one is 155lbs the other around 145lbs. Both fairly small dudes, but they are cut and are insane athletes. They throw guys around all the time, they also have knowledge and leverage on their side, plus it is fairly easy to move a drunk person around.

However, because they are smaller guys and you can't really tell how strong or cut up they are in big red polo shirts, people try them a lot more often and question their authority more often than they do those of us who a bit bigger.

People generally hire big bulky bouncers not because of fighting ability, but because of deterrant and intimidation. I am a fairly big guy and hardly ever have to get too physical with anyone because my size is usually intimidation enough. You typically want people who can stop fights or deter fights as bouncers, not dudes who people want to fight, or guys who like to fight.

Your job is to keep the peace not cause chaos. There is a guy that comes in our bar all the time... HUGE! I mean Bob Sapp big, giant *** arms and everything. A guy like that, never has to fight as a bouncer. When he comes up and says you have to leave, you leave. He also has size and mass on his side and can easily big you up and escourt you with minimal damage to himself.

Our smaller guys, as tough and strong as they are, will have a problem physically throwing out a guy who is 250lbs or so. Simply because of body weight, if they are holding on to a guy like that and he falls, they fall with him. That is just physics unfortunately.

However they do very well, when they have to manhandle the average guy they can easily, especially because the guy is drunk.

But Bulk is strength. Large bulky muscles are developed by low rep high weight workouts. A limber strong man may have the advantage agility wise, and that does help. But a big dude with big muscles will have the strength advantage.

I do think there are a large amount of big bouncers out there that don't know how to fight, or even how to do their job for that matter. Most of them don't really have to, in most towns there is a cop at every club. Our club is outside city limits so we are the rare exception, we have no police presence and we usually have a 5 to 10 minute wait on the Sheriffs if we call them so we have to deal with more things on our own.

Most of the time at a club you want a big bouncer no one wants to mess with, if you are a smaller guy then you definately need to know what you are doing, because drunk guys will try to start things and question someone smaller or the same size as them. It's rare for them to try to pick a fight with someone larger than themselves.

So in short to your answer, big muscles equal strength, Bob Sapp is much stronger than Fedor. But having the strength advantage doesn't equal a win, having the skill does. If you have two people of around the same skill level, more than likely the bigger stronger guy is going to win. Just look at Matt Hughes vs. Royce Gracie. Matt Hughes pretty much manhandled him.

So the smaller you are, the more skill you have to have over your opponent, that and the ability to use someone's strength against them. Franky most big ol bulky bouncer usally aren't that great of fighters, but that doesn't mean they can't manhandle you if the y get a hold of you. Then of course there are large bouncers who also train, which is a whole different thing.

The best thing a bouncer has going for him going into a fight, is the fact that he is sober and the other guy is drunk. If it wasn't for that fact I may have actually gotten my butt kicked a few times by much larger stronger dudes. However my sobriety and their drunkness combined with my skill usually equals a win for me. If all else fails I call for backup on my earpeice.

Well I hope that helps somewhat. I think there is a big difference between strong, and strong enough. All you have to be is strong enough.

There is also something to be said about guys who are weight strong, and guys who are body strong. There may be a guy who has better weight lifting technique, can lift more than you on a specific exercise, or even multiple exercises, but you can manhandle because your whole body is stronger seems stronger when you tie up. That is because you know how to use more major muscle groups through technique and leverage than he does.

Probably way more information than you wanted.
Reply:The guys at clubs have big muscles so they look tough and people won't mess with them has easily. Strength is better to have because a guy could be all muscle and not be able to do anything with those muscles.
Reply:Bouncers are hired more for the look than for what they can do. Size is intimidating to many people. A strong limber guy could very well be a better fighter than the guy with the huge muscles. Fighting is more about skill and attitude than size or strength.
Reply:I think it depends on the level of skill that someone has in fighting (whether it is training or just being in numerous brawls) and I think that it also depends a great deal on strength. No I dont think that strength alone could always be good enough but once again that also depends on their opponent...
Reply:its all about knowing how to fight. muscles just intimidate an opponent. look at ufc fights, and you'll see what i mean. ive seen strong men go down and beat by an opponent who did not have big muscles. so no, muscles or strenght are not important, it's knowing how to fight.
Reply:Agility, quickness and skill will take you a lot further, a lot faster. Big muscles won't do someone any good at all if they can't catch their opponent. Big isn't always slower, but it very often is. A lot of guys who have all the big muscles spent all of their time creating them, not really learning how to use them - so I think that even a wiry little guy with little strength might come out ahead in a street fight, if he has any skill at all.
Reply:yeah, strength to a degree but speed and knowledge can kick strengths @ss everytime...

could be in a nice club...in a "roadhouse" situation it might provoke SOME losers...
Reply:Speed + Technique= power

You can have all the muscle in the world, but if you dont know how to properly throw a punch and you are slow, it would be more of a pushing motion rather than a solid snap, like a punch should be.
Reply:Braus and strength are just a couple of factors. When we get into a life threatining situation, our body dumps a huge amount of adrenaline in our system giving us super human strength and speed for a brief moment. During this, cognitive thinking and fine motor movements are disabled beacause more blood is sent to the "fighting" body parts. Even a martial arts expert with twelves years of experience can forget most of his moves because of this. Strength or Muscle? Experience. That's more important.
Reply:if you want to just manhandle them as in jsut hold them down and throw them around?then yes,bulk muslce will help. if your talking about just whooping people, then no, it'll slow you down. .muscles can help, because intimidation helps with the outcome. my experiences tell me that it is half a mind game and half skill. chances are that if even if they are willingly going to fight you, if they have the slightest chance of thinking they'll lose...they'll lose, becasue now they're a little scared. i've seen smaller guys finishing up bigger guys plenty of time to determine that brute strength and quickness matters more than bulky heavy weight muscle heads in tight t-shirts. don't get me wrong, you do need some strength and muscle, but not like no bouncer or wwe wrestlers.
Reply:neither... its speed... if you can pack a good punch and get it in there quick your size will not matter. The bulky guys are about 85% show... they dont expect to get hit because their size is so intimidating... Ive actually heard of a bouncer that got laid out by a really short scrawny guy.... ( of course he was too drunk to notice the size of the bouncer... ) non-the-less it caught him off gaurd and it knocked him out...
Reply:Bulk can provide an advantage but strength is more valuable. Bulk is a great deterrent. Most people will choose a smaller person to attack given a choice.

The bouncers are visual deterrents, that is why they are huge.

I think the combination of size and strength is a distinct advantage in a bouncer's line of work. please remember bouncer's are not in street fights. They are simply there to physically remove people from the property, this is not a fight. It is a tug of war in which they must worry about not getting hit in. In a tug of war size is an advantage.

Personally, given a choice between size and strength. I would choose size. ( I would take speed over all of these.)

Reply:in a street fight anything goes muscle slows u down .
Reply:The bouncers at club are definitely hired for their looks. I train with few people who are bouncer and they all are huge and intimidating even if they can't fight their way out of wet paper bag.

Muscles CAN help if you know what you're doing! If you lift weights all day and never stretches, work on stamina, or train then my bet is you will go down after throwing two or three sloppy wild punch and gas out. If you work out and stretch and train but you're not huge you are still a serious force to be reckon with beause you have power, speed, and other things to back you up.

Let make a example, you can easily build a rocket car that go up to 700 mph. However do you think you can really turn car that goes this fast? NO! That's why Nascar car doesn't go faster than 220 or 230 mph most of the time. So basically the faster car goes, the harder it's to turn and control the car. Same can be say about musclar man. They may can lift a lot of weight and be very srtong, but that doesn't mean they can fight well.
Reply:The bulk is for intimidation factor only.

It's better to have developed, but lean muscles when you're fighting....especially if you're training in a style that requires suppleness or quickness in movement.

If you're just looking to manhandle someone....sure, slow-twitch muscle fibre bulk helps.

Now, I'm well built, but I'm not Hulk-like....it's good to be halfway there. Strength to do what's neccescary, but flexible enough to move out of the way and keep a flow going.

Being TOO big screws your flexibility....not to mention, it slows your movement as you're dynamically carrying more weight through space = basic physics.

Be strong, but flexible. You don't need bulk to win a fight.
Reply:Anyone who is put in a situation that is a bad one if he has the spirit to win the challenge is likely to become victorious. Muscle has a little to do with it. Skill has about 10 percent.
Reply:Smaller men have an advantage at man handling people. There swing is reduceable to the larger person so if you have a skinny man with strong arms with common sense you can deduce that the smaller man with more strength would crush a brute. But.. you must remember that brute will always scare the opponent, and have a weight advantage. well any one that has ever fought in a tournament wouldn't be scared of a bigger man but most people aren't martial artists especially at a bar so all they have to do is hire guys that look big. Bouncers arn't that tough, compared to martial artists. My parents own bars and i could wreck there bouncers they look big and i look not small but decievingly average. So you would see me fighting a bigger person you think i'm going to lose... wrong. If he gets a hold of me and knows how to use his weight he may get and advantage... but he won't i'm to fast ide strike him in armpit most likely dislocating his arm or breaking his shoulder or collar bone depends on how angry he makes me. Than ide fall through with a palm to the solar plexus making him realease himself in his pants. So me the smaller man would win in this situation.

But there are occasions where say a russian man thats a master at sambo... so probably three years of training in a russian school. 3years=Much A$$ kicking... ok i find a bouncer in a bigger city than mine he looks big so i take him on little do i know hes russian immigrant with 10 years, 10 beign the same amount as me, i go for the same moves he would break my arm discreatly than take me out back and put me in an arm bar, by arm bar i mean break my arm right thna and than kick me in the kidney so hard i spit out my splean.

So in both situations its goes to say if you have more experince you win. But i believe if you have trained harder and are more muscular with the same amount of experince the person who has trained harder will win. And to defeat that, muscle doesn't always win some one that has weight lifted for 10 years can not beat a martial artist that has been trainign for 10 years. Hope i cleared things up, have a nice day,evening!

Excellent stuff. To the untrained eye or to those simpletons who only see good in power moves (LOL), the style looks like 2 steps removed from dancing. When you send assailants flying through the air with dislocated joints, they'll know not to mess with you.

Reply:hmm, true comment 'brain', actually the more mma and fighting and etc i learn and see

the more i feel that "putting on a motor cycle helmet" is the ultimate in self-defence really.

if theres ever a weapon involved , just run away, even those anti-knife, techniques DON'T TRY THEM, the bad guy will most probably make little jabs at your arms and hands and face, not like the "oh i'm aiming for your heart" stuff they teach u.

Just have fun whilst sparring with your friends.
Reply:Apart from training in a martial system, learning techniques and forms (Ba ji = Bagua?) there's the matter of being able to respond properly under the pressure of an actual street fight. In a street fight there's the real intention of people wanting to hurt you, mug you or whatever. This will cause high stress levels in you. Like any other animal your body only wants to survive. Usually there's the response of freeze, flight or fight. When it comes to fighting there's a big chance you'll have no control over your fine motor skills and narrow vision. The ability to stay calm and act appropriately in a real fighting situation is quite difficult, but can be trained to a degree. this is best done within the school. Better to have your body and ego bruised in training than to be killed on the street. if your training is motivated by a perceived need for self defense you can ask your teacher to focus your training on this and stilling the mind.
Reply:this is very controversial theme, not only in ba ji and xing yi, but in all tma. many ppl believe that tma is too out dated, focus on only one factor of a fight too much, etc. for example, xing yi and baji's both stand up style and many mma ppl will criticize it for lack of ground game. xing yi ppl might fight back claiming five elements could be trasitioned into ground fighting as well, or something like that.

i think that it's the fighter and what they trained for. most xing yi and baji practices doesn't do enough of kicking or ground game at all, but kicking might not be nessary and maybe you could train in not getting into a ground game situation.

all in all, i think xing yi and baji is both good styles to learn, but how effective in a fight it is is really up to you.
Reply:Anything that helps rasie your level of fitness and confidence will aid you in a street fight situation. But be aware that in the street there are more obstacles tahn in the dojo - speaking as one who was amazed at the pain caused by backing up into a metal pole to stop traffic coming up onto the pavement. Though my pelvis was broken - the natural padding in that area was of no use in this situation, the pain!

Is it illegal to film a street fight?

2010-05-21T17:29:00.001-07:00

Nope. If you staged it for money or prizes or instigated it it's a different story. There might be some local bylaw against it but doubtful.

Is it illegal to film a street fight?
no because it is out in the open
Reply:No really...unless the "fighters" r under age n if some1 gets beat really hard....then u'll accountable as accessory 2 instigate a fight.
Reply:In most jurisdictions, if it's in the public domain, it's ok to film. There may be some issues of privacy protection/surveillance depending on your local laws. Broadcasting the film, however, may be a different matter.
Reply:It should be. You are encouraging the fighting, which is wrong and illegal.
Reply:It may be considered illegal if you have evidence on tape of a crime and do not turn it over to the authorities to assist in apprehending the criminals. However, the act of filming would not seem to be an illegal act in and of itself.

Who would win in a real street fight... John cena or Batista?

2010-05-21T17:28:00.000-07:00

I say batista all they way

Who would win in a real street fight... John cena or Batista?
Batista~hells yes because hes the animal. The guy shows no mercy-I saw him in action once at a live WWE show-mean SOB.
Reply:i agree batista would win without even trying
Reply:No one, teh police would break it up. You said it was a "real" street fight, therefore I think of it as like a bar fight. So, the police would never stand for this. There's your answer. lol

But fareal, Batista. Cena is not GANGSTA. I've seen 5 year olds more gangsta. Any rap fanswould realize he's a poser. When he freestyles, he wait 5 minutes uintil he gets out another line. Like this:

Yo wassup, I'm Cena and I SUCK!

Any man or women could kick my butt!
Reply:I say John Cena
Reply:Both have been in street fights, but it's REALLY close between these two becuz they fight in their own style.

I'd pick John Cena becuz he used to be the most-liked heel who cheated and would use objects to win in any match. Just becuz he's a face now doesn't mean he can't go back to those dirty tactics.

Then again, I'd pick Batista becuz he's a natural at being the heel who plays dirty. He grew up in a pretty horrible neighborhood, worked as a bouncer and almost killed a guy on the job, and wuz stealing cars at 13 years old.

Overall, I'd say it's a tie. I'm sorry! I can't pick!!
Reply:Cena would go straight gangsta on Batista. After a few hits to the face with the golden WWE Title he carries EVERYWHERE batista would fall out in a pool of blood.
Reply:thats a hard one to choose
Reply:Batista
Reply:Pretty much John but some people will say Batista
Reply:Batista of course
Reply:I would say John Cena because he nevers backs down and never quits. He has been through tables hit with ladders and has been locked in steel cage.John Cena knows how to street fight and so does Batista but John Cena knows how better so I'd say The Champ "John Cena"!!!
Reply:that would be an all out brawl but Batista's size would let him win over cena. But those 2 happen two be my two favorite wrestlers so i not only think it would be equal because i like them both but the are both pretty aggressive and tough.

Who has more advantage in a street fight?

a 5'7 , guy that hits the gym and has developed good muscle

vs

lets say a 6'1 lazy guy but with a bully-like constitution

Who has more advantage in a street fight?
The Bullies gonna win - simply because hes more familiar with the first range of combat -

Conversation Range - hes gonna ask "you got the time, mate"

"you got a cigarette mate" "look at that" - then hes gonna sucker punch you. Or smack you with his pint glass.

Or hell just plain out hit you while you not looking -

Conversation Range - you must be aware of your surroundings !

Bullies won't last long in a street fight. They are mostly motivated by pride.

if one has the skills, it raises their odds of winning, but you must always watch the crazy ones.

Martial arts will serve you well for awareness but hope to heck you never really have to use it because most thugs are armed with knives and guns and no MA can stop a bullet from a distance, all they can hope for is a bad shot, good luck and a get away. Im a trainen MA and Id never take a gun on unless I knew he was going to pull the trigger anways then Id have nothing left to lost by trying.

WITH NO WEAPONS, a rarety, the 6'1 may win, just cause you are in condition does not mean you know how to fight, sure you could outrun him to the cops, but if its a brawl hell mangle you western style unless you know how to fight in some aspect, then that will make a differance.

Would Tai chi work in a street fight? it looks like their dancing.?

2010-05-17T20:15:00.002-07:00

i dont think it would, but i want to know what you think.

Would Tai chi work in a street fight? it looks like their dancing.?
I do not believe Tai Chi would work in a street fight. Tai Chi, like so many other Traditional Martial Arts, is designed for defending against other martial artists, not a street thug. So many of the positions and movements in Tai Chi bring you off balance, and the first opportunity that a street fighter sees you cross your legs or put most of your weight on one leg, he's going to throw himself on you and bring you to the ground and pummel you. On the ground Tai Chi is useless.

Tai Chi is beautiful, and there are lessons to be learned from it that would apply, but as a whole, it doesn't apply to street fighting.
Reply:you do not know Tai Chi.

The founder of Yang Tai chi who studied Chen Tai Chi went to Bejing. No one could defeat him and he was called 'unbeatable Yang' and he was selected as the instructor of the Royal Guard.

The Chinese Emperor was not that stupid to ask the Royal Guard to learn Tai Chi. Report It

Reply:it is a soft art which has slowly turned into a chinese office exorcise almost. However, there are masters out there who do martial applications with the art. It's not the best no, but i wouldn't go up to a grand master and say he couldn't use it to kick my butt cuz i'm sure he could. Internal arts are the most scary. You blink, then you're on the ground holding an internal organ in place in the fetal position.
Reply:I think tai chi is not meant for fighting, but what tai chi brings is what helps bee a better fighter.

It's like an upgrade to a fighter.

Internal arts is badass.
Reply:Learning tai chi in the park from a city program is just to give people something to focus on to stay mobile %26amp; breathe (yes dancing in the park). But if you learn tai chi from a real school that has a traditional style, it will definitely teach you self defense in principle. On its own tai chi is internal and not explosive form of martial arts that you would need to have in a fight, but it teaches how to use all your energy %26amp; your opponents energy against them. Even though real tai chi masters do have explosive strikes, but this comes after a very very long time of training from what I understand. Tai chi masters can turn the fight against you so fast you don't know what hit you.

For me I had done kung fu for 4 yrs when my sifu made me begin a tai chi program in addition to the kung fu. About 6 months later I started noticing that people were falling back when I punched them.... something that was definitely new. I'm 124 lbs and was pushing back 185lbs guys. It seems that this was totally because of the tai chi training teaching me how to connect my whole body to my punch.
Reply:tai chi is slow and calming and balancing your body! If you were fighting on tp of a fence yes, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to land a punch!
Reply:Tai Chi definitely can work in a street fight. The original Tai Chi is the Chen Style Tai Chi which was passed from generation to generation within the Chen village. The secret of the Tai Chi applications was not taught to people other than the Chen clan in the village.

That is the reason why not many people understand it. The founder of the Yang style tai chi who actually practised Chen Style Tai chi was the martial arts instructor of the Royal Guard in Ching Dynasty in China. If Tai Chi cannot be used for fighting/defence, the Chinese emperor would not hire a Tai Chi master as the kung fu instructor for his Royal Guard.
Reply:Hi Jay J, Tai Chi IF it is taught in its martial form is one of the most effective arts out there, it's name means "Ultimate fist". You are taught to flow with the opponents force while using very little energy in defence and in offence you are taught to use your WHOLE body in your blocks and strikes while not losing your balance. You are taught to be like water in that you yield for the blow then close in on your foe. I take Ba-Gua which is a sister style to Tai-Chi and they take years to learn, but the benafit of the "soft" styles are that most of your energy will be used in training NOT in it's application. A old master told me once "Your foe should sweat not you", and "If you come hard you will go hard", a master can beat and you will not have any idea how it was done. Be like water, the harder the attack the softer the defence. Your answer is Yes it is very effective, but you have to find a instructor that can teach it in its martial application, Soft styles can take a longer to learn than "hard" styles (karate,TKD,kenpo,etc) so there are fewer soft style instructors. I hope this helps!

How did you lose your last street fight?

2010-05-17T20:15:00.001-07:00

Did you make a critical mistake, or were you just outclassed? Did you learn anything the hard way? What would you do different?

How did you lose your last street fight?
I've only been in one street fight and I won. That was before I took up the Martial Arts.

Since I studied Martial Arts I have always walked away, and I guess you could say, let the other guy think he won. Maybe he would have won anyway, who knows?
Reply:The whole fight was a 1 on 1 on 1. one guy had fallen and i turned around to finish the job buy kicking him in the face. By the time i had turned around to the other guy, he had scooped up a handful of dirt and threw it in my face and proceeded to kick the crap out of me, i'd say it wasn't fair but it was a street fight so i'm not to P.O.ed about it.
Reply:The most recent incident that I have had the missfortune to be involved in resulted from someone trying to hit on my girlfriend while I was sitting next to her. I politely told him that she was my girlfriend and asked that he leave our table, the drunken man stood and grabbed for my shirt over the table. I took hold of his hand and locked his wrist, then stood up controlled his elbow and walked him over to a bouncer and asked him to please explain to my new friend why violence is not the answer.

I then returned to my table and finished my beer. Oh and I also got in trouble for causing trouble from my girlfriend... Women huh? I though I was pretty diplomatic, he was having a go at me not the other way around lol.
Reply:I've never been in a street fight.
Reply:I've only been in only one street fight, the man turned out to be an ex-cop. The guy took a swing at me, i put my hands up, picked him up and I took him to the ground, when I started to ground and pound, somebody grabbed me from the back so the fight only lasted about 30 seconds.

My mistake was to fight in the first place, I learned that my friends have my back, as soon as somebody took me from behind when i mounted the guy, one of my friends took the other guy and applied a choke hold, 2 more friends ran and one punched the guy, and the other guy kicked him.

Streetfights are not adviceable, you could end up in jail
Reply:i fell on my face but then i got up and whooped him
Reply:Well, the last fight I had I won. However, the last fight I lost was a few months before the last one (both of them happened several years ago). The guy I was fighting was a lot bigger than me, and stronger too, and usually this wouldn't be a problem, because the "great" thing about street fights is that you will rarely come across someone who actually knows how to fight. Unfortunately for me on that fateful day this large fellow really knew how to fight. If he was my size I think I might have won, (still... he was a pretty good fighter) but every hit he gave me was like a brick, I almost passed out! I made 2 critical mistakes: I wasn't tough enough to handle his hits, and I didn't cover my head as well as I should have. When he first threw a punch at my head I thought I could just "swat" it away with my hand, he was so strong that he simply took my blocking hand along for the ride and socked me in the nose. After that I should have backed away to recover and shield myself, but I got angry and hit back instead. I hurt him but he immediately followed with a string of punches (having figured out that I couldn't block him very well), each punch turned my head to the side and he ended with an uppercut to my chest. I fell on the ground holding my nose and coughing for air at which point he kicked me in the side, cussed me out, and spit on my back. I know I passed out a little because I couldn't recall what he said to me or even feel him spit on me, I "awoke" a little later with spit on my back and a foggy memory. Not one of my best days. %26gt;(

If I fought him again I would cover my head with my forearms and go for his shins like crazy, I did that before on another big guy, eventually he would fall or stumble and then I would shove/kick him down, jump on him and pund him into the ground. %26gt;)
Reply:A won the battle but lost the war. I would have traded his broken nose and cut eye for my broken hand anyday. A broken hand (three times now) can hamper your boxing for good. It is simply best to avoid street fights. A fight that results from, booze, ego, and posturing is never a good thing even for the "winner". Getting jumped without provocation is another matter. Youthful testoserone poisoning and alcohol cause more fights than anything and it is just stupid. My perpetually broken hand is my lifelong reminder of my stupidity.
