I’m a male. The class I joined teaches a variety of martial arts styles, such as Karate, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, BJJ, Judo and some Boxing.
What should I expect ? I’m an introvert so I’m a little nervous about meeting a bunch of new people. I don’t imagine we will have to talk much lol. The classes are one hour long.
if you had to bite someone what is the risk of you getting a infection
I understand that things such as sparring are important but what is the simplest martial art to learn at home at least to some extent via shadow boxing, muscular training (push-ups, squats, etc).
Statistically, what do you think my chances are in an average one-on-one physical fight against a random man?
For context, I’m 5’7” and around 180 pounds, sometimes up to 185. My best mile is about 5:45. I’ve boxed for about 7 years, have a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I’ve been active in sports and fitness most of my life.
How would you rate my overall “character build” or archetype in terms of fighting ability? Against the average adult man, what percentage of fights would you realistically expect me to win? And how would those odds change against different sizes and builds?
I couldn't add more characters in the title, so that is how I decided to write it – I am aware it is possible.
So hypothetically, if I get in a situation where I have to defend, myself or somebody else, and if the circumstances are so in which I decide to hit the person in the head (as people do in fights, which I hope I never run into, but hope is not enough), thinking about it, it worries me, what if the hit I do is fatal? That would definitely not be an intended outcome, but every other consideration seems illogical for one's own survival in a moment that it's endangered. Should I, in a life threatening situation, think on how hard should I hit an attacker, gauging the risk of it being fatal in such intense situation (with even then the risk existing)?
Also, this is my first time on this subreddit, while I can surely imagine other mitigations that are better, you can't expect an average person to possess such agility, coordination, knowledge and practice to be able to neutralize threat with no risk of causing more than harm as a by-product than an experienced professional. Most people would have to rely on their physical defense insticts, rather than face possibly fatal consequences themselves – it could even be the only theoretical defense as well (if fight is already initiated and you are hurt already, and you don't happen to have a black belt to professionally incapacitate a person, which raises a question - should you always resort to hitting less vital areas?)
I tried my best to not make this sound concerning, but be assured that this is just that one impulsive adrenaline inducing random thought that keeps me awake at night, a what-if scenario, and I can't get over what if my action of defense could cause them to die.
When people get in your face and demand to know why you have a small pocket knife clip to your pants.
Or my personal favorite, why do you need that gun? What do you think is going to happen?
