Is it the best real life self defence you can take now? This is pretty much targeted towards people who teach or train in these sort of things. Or is boxing the best one to train in for self defence? Edit: I've learned some practical knowledge in this thread, and ignored the jealous dweebs posting unfunny jokes. Posting unfunny jokes on the Internet is just basically a huge sign that you have cognitive aids. verdigris murder fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Dec 16, 2014 |

The best way to learn self defense is to get a job painting fences for an alcoholic Japanese-American veteran. Wait, that's the best way to get molested.

The whole premise of Krav Maga is that you try as hard as you can to permanently and quickly end any confrontation by heavily injuring your opponent. You can't spar with Krav Maga for obvious reasons, so you can't get better, so it's a pointless thing to learn. You'd be better off learning like a real self defence thing.

Learning how to throw a good punch and some basic boxing technique will put you way ahead. Most people can't fight for poo poo, especially the people likely to cause you trouble if you're not going looking for it.

There's a Martial Arts megathread here in Ask/Tell. A few choice bits from the OP: quote:Second: quote:Krav Maga quote:If you are set on learning some sort of fighting for the vanishingly unlikely scenario that you'll actually need to use it for self defence it takes a lot of actual hard work and dedication to become competent, and it's best to cross train a striking and a grappling art. Do BJJ because hugging dudes in pyjamas is really fun. Baronash fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Dec 13, 2014 |

Iseeyouseemeseeyou posted:why not get a gun If you want to defend yourself get a gun and a decent pair of running shoes. If you want to fight competitively or just for sport pick whichever sport appeals to you or is popular in your town. If you want to fight people in the street, don't. Because that's a good way to get stabbed or shot and probably end up in jail in the process.

Relax, OP's just a nerd who is gamifying his life. He wants to up his DEX and STR in case A Wild Robber Appears! The problem is that his WIS is just too low.

Come hang out in a martial arts thread or get your Jiu Jitsu on. Winning a fight is all about not getting into one at all costs. If you do, it will be a few quick shots then done. What's your goal? Is someone mean mugging you? Because Jesus Christ do everything you can to avoid a fight. As someone who has done combat sports for fun you quickly learn that you ain't poo poo and most people could kill you.

Thanks guys. The main reason is that I'm going to be put in a situation in the next year or less where I'm going to have to take two guys on. I've done jitsu for about two years, so I have a basic grasp of the strike points on the body etc. The thing is, I still don't feel that I'll be able to defend myself sufficiently, and flight won't be a option (wish it was tbh).

You should start a campaign of disinformation, feeding them lies about your skills through their associates until they believe you killed four guys at once with your bare hands. This is your only chance. Good luck.

Not everyone lives in a country where private firearms ownership is legal, and even those who do might not want their primary means of self defense to be something as lethal as a firearm. Edit: But given that the OP seems to think he's going to be in an unavoidable fight against two guys in a year's time, I'm not sure I care if he gets good advice or not. Because that is dumb.

I actually got to whatever the 2nd or 3rd level of Krav Magician is. Practitioner 2 I think it's called? I learned precisely 3 useful things from it, which I will now pass on to you. 1) If a suspicious person asks you for the time, bring your watch up to your eyes, don't look down at your watch. This way you have a hand defending your face AND will be looking at them should they try anything funny. 2) If you think a situation is about to get violent, start moving to the right and away from your possible attacker. 3) If you're in a headlock, hitting a dude in the nuts hurts worse with an open hand than a fist and if you turn your head so you're facing their stomach it won't affect your breathing. And that's it. The rest is dumb theorycraft bullshit that will get you killed A.S.A.P should you try it. They want you to deflect baseball bats with your forearms, take on knife toting maniacs by turning their own knife onto them and gouge out eyes using slick ninja moves should anyone hassle you. They want you to learn this motley array of violent wizardry by LARPing out STREET SCENARIOS in 1/3 time against fat security guards, nerds who're bitter about having been mugged and dumpy housefraus who fear rape. The whole time the instructor dude got pissed because I didn't take it seriously enough and kept trying to get people with pro wrestling maneouvres. The day I got a guy with the Crippler Crossface was the day I had apparently Crossed The Line and was banned from the classes. He was a retired soldier he claimed but he looked like an accountant. They made everyone get up in this really retarded way where you grab your own knee with both hands, it was supposedly MUCH MORE TACTICAL or something? He kept trying to make us buy LARP weapons so now my friend has a wooden pistol and a rubber knife and a tonfa stick that weighs about half a gram. poo poo is ridiculous. Don't fight anyone ever. Especially not with Jew Jitsu. Disgusting Coward fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Dec 13, 2014 |

I'm sorry good sir, but the chain on my pocketwatch won't allow it to reach the level of my eyes!  Also, odds these days are that you're carrying a phone and not wearing a watch.

I wouldn't bother with bookwork either, and the OP doesn't have much time for studying or training. I suggest just buying a fuckton of oil, and maybe carrying a large bottle AT ALL TIMES. Try to work from behind the other fellow in order to minimise the amount of strikes you have to take as you attempt this. Maybe visit https://www.matbattle.com for expert fighting tips.

Cool. So basically the only proper way to learn Krav Maga is to do full contact lessons. The rhino move seems pretty effective too! A lot of people leave after the first session. I guess a lot of its actually about conditioning the brain to deal with violent conflict. Sort of like the soldiers and chefs theory. verdigris murder fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Dec 15, 2014 |
