self defense lifehack that'll lock you into prison
use the eyeball as that one flaw in the death star, it's your easy access to their brain
if you get the object deep enough and penetrate the brain, you're welcome
Brain stops working. The aggressor can smell it and easily take over.
Is it common or am I different?
[this is a crosspost from a 'NSFW' subreddit I made]
You just relax, zone out, and move.
For example: Bobbing your head to music with a bit of extra effort here and there to work the sides of the neck and front of the neck along with twists is PLENTY to develop a thick and strong, injury resistant neck. Doing this for hours at a time and slowly increasing the average intensity over the course of days, weeks, and/or months is PLENTY to progress. And with a baseline of activity and general fitness it's easy to incorporate more exercises.
Here is singer George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher:
Fisher released his debut solo album 'Corpsegrinder' on February 25, 2022
All he did was head bang to metal and his neck is HUGE. I don't recommend starting out by thrashing your neck to an EXTREME but the body adapts pretty quickly. Fitness can be fun and relaxing while effective.
Now consider the spine. Instead of just bobbing your neck you can bob your entire body. You can bend side to side, exercising the spine and waist. You can do twists and bend forward and backward all while listening to music. Doing this for a few hours most days will quickly allow harder bobbing, bending, and weaving until you have a spine absolutely WRAPPED with muscle including the back, waist, and ribcage muscles.
This is all a simple process that can be applied to the whole body. The connective tissue and joints will surely benefit and the body will become more durable, enduring, and strong from the sheer volume of work and slow escalation of force generally used.
ok that's it.
I have done a mix of the typical martial arts that are popular in America and they are more for sports/fighting off the school bully than the real world. What is the best form of training to build confidence, toughness, and hand-to-hand defense? Would it be a military style boot camp? The closest martial art I can think of is Krav Maga and to be honest Krav schools in America are kinda soft(speaking from experience)(not trying to step on anyones toes)
Anytime I get threatened, I feel intimidated and scared to do anything. I have been assaulted and jumped before and I don't want to be in another situation where I feel powerless again. I feel like people easily walk over me like some type of doormat and I am just way too nice. I am not assertive enough to fight back. I am tired of going through this situation and it may happen in my life again but I want to be able to handle it better. I have tried boxing before but it wasn't really for me. I wasn't learning faster enough and better even though I was doing the drills and sparring more. What other martial arts can I learn to overcome my fear of fighting?
I've been in tons of situations where I was in a group, and suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, some boy my age or some other man would start yelling at me. These guys have been extremely aggressive with me and in many cases were even much smaller than I am. I responded to these situations by doing whatever I could to placate them and get them to just leave me alone as soon as possible. I was never really even doing anything wrong or stupid in many of these cases. They just wanted to assert their dominance over me, and they certainly got their wish. I think my larger stature made them even more satisfied that they were able to assert their dominance. After each and every one of these experiences, I felt like I had been castrated. Whenever I was strong, these people would never target me, but whenever I displayed any kind of weakness, they would target me for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than to raise their perceived status by asserting dominance over me. This has lead to much of my social isolation and low sense of self worth.
Obviously, I have to somehow reclaim my dominance and at least stand my ground with these people. They have no place in society as long as they behave that way. I should never let someone treat me that way. What do I do?
My brother said if I'm ever in a fight where my life's at stake and things aren't looking great, I should give a quick punch to the throat and run away like there's no tomorrow. While I can see how effective this tip can be, could this be lethal to my opponent? I don't mind them choking for a minute or two but I don't wanna kill them. Are there any other tips I could keep in mind?
So my girlfriend, her parents and i live in the middle of nowhere and our neighbor is phsyco.
A few years ago he was on the property high on meth waving an axe around saying he's gonna kill my girlfriend and her mum. It took 3 hours for the police to arrive so i don't want to rely on them in future
He has recently been unbanned from the region and is moving back next door
I live in new zealand and don't have a gun license and pepper spray is illegal here. Right now all i can think of is a high velocity air rifle but thats far from ideal. Ill get my gun license asap but i need a solution until then. Any ideas?
Hey, I’m 16 years old and I know only a little bit of boxing. I’m a bit overweight but I started working out and eat healthier. So my question is: Do I need to train mma,bjj or any other martial art or will I be just fine If I lift weights and build muscles? I know technique is important but I know a little bit from my boxing days and I’m sparring a lot with my friend although the boxing gym was closed.
Apologies now for the long text!
This evening I went to go see a broadway show with my wife and her entire family.
We got there late, and we’re rushing to get to our seats before the show would start.
We were inside the theater at the point where we needed to go through a metal detector. The line was MAN A, my wife, then me.
Man A was told by the security guard he can’t go through unless he has a mask, so he steps off the line to get a mask from another security clerk. My wife being right behind him, just goes right through the metal detectors. He walks back in line, I don’t step forward, as he was in front and allow him to go in front of me, nothing was said at this point.
What he did next was the weird part, he touches my wife’s lower back. Not her butt, but her lower back. Like puts her hand there. I see all of this happen. So I say, and to quote, “excuse me, that’s my wife, what are you doing”
This is the fun part, he immediately almost within less then a blink of an eye, gets in my face and begin circling me and telling me repeatedly “he is not that fucking man” like in the context to to mess with him.
This man, was a fucking huge dude. For context; I’m 6’1 and larger dude for sure. This guy was at least 6’3, 40+, fully laced with tattoos, extremely tight shirt, bald, and a just a mean looking mofo. His looks in his eyes was pure evil and he wanted to hurt me.
At this point, I was so shocked by how quickly he got into my face I just kept saying relax you touched my wife. I’m convinced if there wasn’t security there he would have hit me straight in the face and fucked my shit up.
What he did was completely out of line and uncalled for from begin to end. I would also say I was wearing a yamika as I’m a observant Jew and I saw he kept staring right at it. Mind you, we’re at a kids fucking broadway show…
I’m still shocked and don’t exactly know how to understand the situation. I believe I was in the right for calling him out and then not escalating the situation as he would have definitely kicked my ass.
My two questions is 1. How could I have handled this better if so? 2. I was always taught to never engage as you never know what the other person is capable of doing to you. Is that right here or wrong?
Sorry again for the long text, still trying to understand the situation. It ended with security deescalating and when I told him to go in front of me at the end he hit me elbow but then I just went to my seat and was like WTFFFF
Hey, soo basically I was with my friend out at night talking and minding our business (to be clear i am 200cm 115 kg mascular guy with training in self defence and matrial arts and he is 180 cm 130 kg fat guy with brute force) and two drunken punks (both around 60 kg) came and started screaming and getting way to close to us so naturally i started maintaining distance from one that was bothering me…
But then sh*t escalated and one of them striked my friend with bottle of some kind to the head
This is why i am writing here..
My reaction should have been using force on both guys because they didnt had any training (probably) and my friend was in lethal danger. Thankfuly he somehow standed his ground probably thanks to adrenaline
But instead of ending them right there hesitated and i was still trying to solve it by carefully going away and fleeing…
My question is… how can i train my mind to be able to calculate these situatons better ? I think i would dominate them… i know weight isnt everything but punks were open and just walking waiting to be punched and i did absolutely nothing to protect me and my friend even tho i am capable to do something
