Let's say they are 4-6, average in height, weight and strength/skills and the woman only has a knife. She is not the weakest, is around 130-150 lbs and did some boxing.
How to proceed if she is being surrounded and attacked? What are her chances to escape? Any fighting technique is welcome.
Don't mention talking and acting crazy. The situation in question is only about fighting possibilities
If you can take 2 classes per week ... is it better to take 2 classes of MMA (Striking + Grappling), or take 1 class of Muay Thai (just Striking), and 1 class of BJJ or similar (just Grappling)?
The question comes from watching a youtube video rating martial arts for self-defence, and the argument was that most real-life situations will end up on the floor so Wrestling-style disciplines will have the advantage.
But the Achilles heel of something like MMA was that, because you end-up doing so many different things at the same time, you never truly become proficient at any of them. Like the man who practices 1000 kicks 1 time Vs the man who practices 1 kick 1000 times.
So, which is better? half-arsing Striking + Grappling separately, or whole- arsing MMA?
I’ve been boxing for 2 years, and just recently i have been getting pain in my inner bicep area when throwing hard left and right hooks on the bag. It feels like an instant sharp pain when I throw the punch, but then after i throw it for the next 5-10 minutes I get a Dull aching inflamed feeling right in the inner bicep area. I can throw max power jabs and crosses and uppercuts no problem, but the hooks bother me.
Also, if I partly extend my arm and push it against the wall hard, it doesn’t bother me, but the second I stop pushing against the wall with that arm and relax, it hurts. So I get pain when I’m releasing pressure.
Do any of you guys experience the same thing when throwing powerful hooks on the bag? And do you know what I could do to fix it?
I’m pretty sure my technique is fine, I’ve been boxing for a while I just throw basic technique hooks. I had the same problem a couple months ago, and I let it fully heal, but the first day getting back to hitting the bag, it came back
I was about to get into a street fight recently 1v1 and respectfully I got no hands so I was close enough to take him down The kid he was fat and much bigger than me so there was no chance I could lift him so I was thinking double outside trip but the argument got broken up so let's say. Street fight 2 scenarios kid about your size or smaller and bigger kid you gotta take it to the ground or ur cooked what shot are you taking?
i didn’t know where else to ask this so sorry if it goes against the rules but i wanted to know if it would be safe to carry a taser without the case? since it would probably take a while to take it out in the situation that i would need it. would it also be a good idea to always have it turned on then? “every second counts” and whatnot.
i usually have the taser and pepper gel in my school (college) backpack side pocket (no zipper just a pouch where you can put a bottle in) because it seems to be an easy place for me to just grab either one.
Hello guys, where I live has always had its fair share of homeless people, normally they ask for something like money or food. We had a state of high alert due to the Olympic Games in Paris, so police were always patrolling the streets and nothing really happened.
Now the patrolling went down and the events of unstable homeless people are becoming more frequent, last week me and my gf were exiting a store and one asked us for spare change we didn't have any and said "No, sorry" and kept walking, my gf noticed the guy was following us, we crossed the street, and he still followed. I stopped, put my gf behind me and waited for him to pass through. He came close to me and I extended my arm to him to prevent him from coming closer to us, I slightly push him, and he turns around and goes the other way.
I think he just wanted to intimidate us, my gf was visibly scared and nervous of him, always looking back.
If this happens again to me or to my gf if she is alone, what should we do?
