Martial Arts Or Real Self Defense? A Big Fight on the Horizon

People either don't realize the difference between Martial Arts and Real Self Defense or the don't want to admit that someone can be right about this topic.

Though in movies it may seem to look all the same, there is a quite big difference between these ways of fighting.

According to some sources, there should be three basic categories. Traditional-Cultural Arts, Sport Martial Arts and Real Self Defense.

To think that one is better than other would be wrong. Each has it's own added value for the one practising it and it should be in general knowledge of people to know what the hell they are training in reality.

Traditional-Cultural Martial Arts

As the title says, Cultural Arts are connected with each different nation and it's culture. Like Karate for Japan-Okinawa. That is a way of fighting that was developed not only as a fighting art, but also as a lifestyle. People did not train Karate, but they lived Karate.

It went through a lot of different changes and is literally deformed in many diverse types of martial art. Experts say "If you want to train real Karate, you have to go to Okinawa." And the same goes for other Cultural Martial Arts.

Some people say that in later ages people trained these martial arts and used it for regular field fighting. But that was long time ago. Far from now. And as mentioned before, people not just trained it but also took the martial art as a style of life.

Sport Martial Arts

In this category should belong all the martial arts you can see on TV. Kick Box, Box, Olympic Judo, Olympic Karate and so on. These are the ones based on dueling others. That means that real fights are occurring in it!s repertoire. What makes them different from the last category is that there are people and rules putting the hole thing under some kind of control.

You can see judges taking care of fair play of the fight. There is some kind of prepared fighting environment like a ring or tatami or alike. Rules that competing fighters must obey. You won't find anything like that on the street.

That is why we have the last category.

The Real Self Defense Systems

Here belongs all the nasty, fatal and super effective technique systems of field fight. Krav Maga, Musado, Savate and others. Nothing is forgiven, no nice looking techniques. Everything is aimed on the real fight itself. Techniques made for real life kill or be killed fights on the street or other places where the fighting is not bound to any rules.

Considered the most effective ones, used and modified by many international and national special forces.

Some people disagree with recognising these three types of way of fight specifications.. fighting against the idea that martial arts are not considered effective in a real - fight for your life - situations. Martial arts and self defense experts yet agree with this fragmentation and people who want to learn how to fight properly should result from it.

I hope you understand a little bit by now.

And that is far from what you can actually know about street fight and real self defense. There is much more you can learn.

You can find me on http://www.askthestreetfighter.com and I will teach you more about street fight and self defense.

Fight Simulator Theory for Reality Based Street Defense

This is such a powerful tool that it should leave no question unanswered for you and allow you to create an infinite number of techniques and drills. As this is a principle rather than a technique based system, here are the principles:

PRINCIPLE1: you get what you train for

PRINCIPLE2: if you want a specific answer, ask a specific question

What's the problem with martial arts and artists? Why do they argue so much? Why cant we find one style that is the best? After all we all only have two eyes, two arms, two legs and one head. (Except if your from a "close community"). Never mind Dragon style, Tiger style, Twisted Badger, Irrational Donkey style... what about "human style"?

The problem is this:

you can't just fight. It hurts. Bits of you will break. That's why its called "fighting" not "hugging" or "tickling". You're trying to hurt each other. The only way to learn it is to do something dangerous and painful- its a double bind.

That is why one of streetfightsecrets.com 's prime objectives is to get as close to reality as possible as safely as possible.

How do you do that?

Flying a plane is dangerous and potentially very expensive. Solution: Flight Simulators.

You must have a certain number of hours virtual "flight time" before you can competently do it for real.

We haven't yet got the technology to create a virtual reality simulator for hand to hand combat. Though we do have them for firearms training. Hand to hand is such an involved, complex, multi-sensory experience it could be many years yet before we do develop the technology to accomplish this objective satisfactorily.

Until then we must do the best we can. It is this aspect of out training that is the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR in determining how proficient we are in reality (in the "street"!).

That is why the main focus of this manual is principles and drills. There are pictures and descriptions in the manual of techniques and options, but you should by now have seen all these before.

What would you have a hi-tech virtual reality fight simulator do? What scenarios would you focus on? What ranges?

Imagine that. You could practise for anything. What would it be?

Can you get close to that in real life? In my experience the answer to that nine times out of ten would be: yes.

Game Theory

Imagine we had that kind of technology. What kind of games could we develop to teach kids (and adults) how to fight? I had an idea for a DOOM type game. In DOOM your first level attackers are really slow and use one attack over and over again, but your options are also crappy because you haven't picked up many weapons yet. Could we adapt that for street fighting? Yes. Is there a way of simulating it in the real world? Yes. But you need good training partners.

Here are a couple of ideas for games you could play for beginners learning to cope with multiple opponents.

level1. person who is "on" stands in middle of 5 opponents, she has to break out of the circle, opponents must keep her in without using their arms. (principle being developed is breaking the circle)

level2. person who is "on" wears gum shield. 5 opponents wear heavy gloves. They may attack her only with big, slow haymakers. They may hit her in the back of head. She must stay in arena without being hit for 45 seconds. (principle being developed is positioning so multiple attackers get in each others way and spatial, peripheral and rear awareness.)

level3. person who is "on" wears a gi top. All 5 attackers wear belly shields. The attackers objective is to drag her to the floor using gi. She may only defend with front kick strikes to belly shields. (develops use of front push kick to defend, coping with being pushed and pulled, maintaining balance under duress etc)

These are just some ideas for games or drills. You get what you train for. You are only ever as good as the games you play.

My advise would be to keep these drills specific. Drill for a particular principle or technique.

Or...

You can use the FIGHT SIMULATOR as a means to answer questions. A really fun, creative thing to do that always creates a buzz with students is to present them with a problem and let them find their own solutions.

If a student has been attacked in a certain way or is worried about being attacked in a certain way or by a certain type of person work to create those circumstances and find a solution.

eg: one of my female students had been thrown up against a wall and pinned with a one handed lapel grab whilst being threatened with a glass in the assailants other hand. I got everyone in the class to do it with a partner and a water bottle as a prop. They came up with as many solutions and escapes and counterattacks as possible, we analysed some of the best ones and everyone experimented with them.

This works well because it causes the mind to think in a proactive, creative, solution finding way as in a real scenario. You must be able to think for yourself and think on your feet.

From the best solutions we took from the class we then did a live drill. A live drill is like engaging in a section of a fight. Just for a few frames of the film. It should be very intense, but short lived (no more than 10 seconds, this is not sparring, unless you compare to three step sparring).

One of the counterattacks was as follows:

1. A slams D into wall. Left hand at lapel, right hand brandishing water bottle.

2. D drops weight and hips down and into wall, goes into an ambush response position: bends knees, curves spine, hunches shoulders, tucks in chin whilst simultaneously, raising both hands and setting her right foot against crease of where wall meets floor. right hand swings loose from outside in and up in anticlockwise direction (wouldn't break grip of larger stronger attacker but brings right arm back into play.)

3. Left hand reaches for attackers elbow crease to cover weapon wielding arm, right hand hooks attackers left collarbone. Springing off from wall with right foot, stamping down with left foot, straightening her spine, pushing her hips forward to drive a big knee into the groin whilst simultaneously yanking collarbone down and in towards her and clawing the forearm muscle points and pulling attackers right arm in and down. Depending on attackers position she gives a stun strike with her forearm, or head butt or a simple shove and then makes her escape or repositions herself to continue assaulting attacker.

Whole drill is less than 5 seconds when done at full speed.

Run it slow first. Attacker should wear a groin guard and defender should not strike at full power.

Defender should wear a gi so attacker can really grab at full force.

The most important thing again is the principle. The defender is growing accustomed to being grabbed and shoved violently, going with that force and responding immediately and viciously.

Try it.

And work through all the "what ifs". What if attacker immediately tries to use the bottle as a weapon? Can you cover it, work your counterattack and still escape or does something else present itself? Try it and find out!

What if he jerks his hips back to avoid the knee to his groin? Well, you have still caused a reaction which can be capitalised on, so what is the next best step? Would it be to pull his head down and into the wall?

...Whatever- if you are doing this as a teacher with your students avoid the temptation to always provide solutions. Let them find them...

Learn Ninjutsu - 4 "Perfect Moments" in a Self Defense Attack Where You Can Do the Most Damage!

Regardless of whether or not you are trying to learn ninjutsu - the martial art of Japan's ancient Ninja families - there are many powerful lessons that you can learn from the Shinobi warrior. After all, there IS a reason that the Ninja are at the top of the martial arts "food chain" - a reason why even those training in other martial arts fantasize about being a real Ninja!

But, to be a true Ninja, you must be able to do more than dress up like a movie or comic book character - you must be able to employ the laws of nature against your adversary. This single thing is the crux of all Ninja training - regardless of whether we're actually talking about self defense or anything else.

The focus of this article is on using your timing, distancing, angling, and other natural and scientific principles to be able to use your attacker's own tension against him. This one principle, which is really a combination of many principles coordinated and working together in the moment that results are needed - is one of the cornerstones of the shadow warrior's self defense art known as Ninpo-Taijutsu (sometimes also called "budo-taijutsu").

The following is a list of 4 "perfect moments" when you can actually use the attacker's energy against him. In this case, the energy that I'm talking about is NOT the same as that used when we are throwing someone (as in Judo, Jujitsu, or Aikido). In this case, I'm referring to his "tension" - the moment when his muscles are fully charged to the point that they actually immobilize all or some part of the opponent's body.

The 4 "Perfect Moments" for Attacking The Attacker Are:

1) During his punch, grab, or kick. As your assailant's limb gets closer and closer to the point of striking or grabbing you, the muscles begin to lock down to do work. If you can use proper timing to "catch" the moment (kurai dori), you can do more damage with your own counter strike, parry, lock, or other technique because what you do to his now tense limb will be translated throughout most, if not all, of his body!

2) After a distraction or other surprise technique. If we were to follow the logic of the above technique and say, we executed a counter punch to the attacker's own punching arm, his body would naturally fire other muscles in response. Based on what we did - if we knew what and where the tension would be - we could immediately attack that same area. The effect would be like putting an object in a vise where it could not move, and then striking it. Since the attacker's body would not be relaxed, and therefore NOT able to move "with" your strike, the power of your technique would be maximized!

3) At the point of unbalance. When the human body loses balance, it immediately and instinctively fires muscles and applies tension in an attempt to regain balance and not fall down. In infants, this defensive response to falling is called a Moro Reflex. And, while the belief is that this goes away as we get older, in reality the same reflex is still there - just to a lesser degree. The idea here is to be able to take advantage of this natural tension that occurs when the attacker's body breaks stability and loses balance. If you can "be there" when it occurs, you will have a clean path to deliver your own attack because his body will be busy with the task of trying to save itself - not from you, but from the fall!

And finally...

4) While he's falling. It doesn't matter if your attacker can do great breakfalls or not. Between the time that his body loses balance and the time that it hits the ground, he is at the mercy of gravity and inertia. That means that he can't evade or avoid anything that you do to him while he's falling through space. He has no stability, and very little mobility. The idea is to strike or kick him WHILE he's falling because he can't do anything about it. And, while many may argue that he might be able or even be trained to relax through a fall, the truth is that he will be firing certain muscles - usually to protect the head - to "brace for impact."

Street Fighter Moves - Do You Know the 4 Life-Saving Secrets of Reality-Based Self Defense?

All true fields of study have there basic principles.  And this is no less truer than the study and practice of Reality-Based Self Defense.  If any discipline is learn-able, it can always be broken down to its least common denominators.  Also known as RBSF,  it sharply separates itself from what most people know as self defense embodied in the schools of Traditional Martial Arts, examples being, karate, kung fu and taekwondo.  It also distinguishes itself from the very popular and trending MMA crowd with the study of the sports oriented Mixed Martial Arts.

Here we  are not talking about sport or the study of a martial art and its accompanying ancient tradition.  We are now talking  primarily about one thing, and that one thing is, in a word, survival. 

The 4 Secrets Of True Reality-Based Self Defense:

#1 - It Is About The Use Of Minimal Techniques - Unlike Traditional Martial Arts, RBSF does not believe in cramming your head with countless techniques and maneuvers.  Less is best.  The less you have swimming around in your head to recall, the faster will be your action-time in responding to danger and assaults.

#2 - It  Is About Uncomplicated Techniques - The fancier the technique, the less likely it will be effective in a real street battle.  One reason is that you lose you ability to execute fine motor skills the more you are under the stress of an "adrenaline rush".  If a technique requires a step 1, step 2, step 3, step 4 - you're in trouble!  Your techniques need to be "Bam!  Bam!  Thank you, ma'am!"

#3 - It  Is About Techniques That Can Be Easily Recalled - Which do you think would be more easily recalled?  A flying spinning back kick to the face while pivoting on the supporting toes - or an eye jab with the fingers?  Yeah, I thought you'd say that.

#4 - It  Is About Easily Applied Techniques In A Combative Situation - If you are in a club or a stairwell having to defend yourself, I guarantee you that you are not going to be able any of your spectacular high kicks that you see in the movies.  It is not about looking pretty.  It's about getting down and dirty.

Street Fighter Moves - Do You Know the 7 Principles of Child Self Defense Against Child Predators?

Have you have really looked at the martial arts classes that you child is taking with an impartial and realistic eye?  Outside of the health, fun and socialization benefits that accrue to your little one, are they really learning reality-based self defense should a malevolent, ill-willed evil person try to abduct or take them away?

In this article, I want to discuss the type of approach to child self protection that is rarely if ever adopted in your typical traditional martial arts studio.  

The 7 Principles of Reality-Based Child Self Defense Against The Child Predator

Principle #1 -  Situational Awareness - This is not only the first principle of self defense and self protection for children, but it is also the first principle of self defense and self protection for adults as well.  You must teach your child how to be aware of strangers who approach them, for example, in their school yard when an adult is not watching - to not to talk to strangers and teach them to immediately look for and move toward a responsible adult should they be approached by someone suspicious, that is, someone unknown.

Principle #2 -  Biting - Teach your child what they already know instinctively.  Teach them to bite: the hand, the face or the arm of anyone who forcefully tries to grab them.

Principle #3 -  Shin Kicking - Teach you child to quickly and violently bite and shin kick to loosen the grip of a would-be predator.

Principle #4 -  Head Butting - Depending on how your child is grabbed and picked up, such as from behind, show them how to head butt by ramming the back of the head backwards on to the nose bridge of the assailant.

Principle #5 -  Shouting "No!  No!" -  Teach your child to shout the word "No!  No!" as they shout it loud enough for someone to hear as they are executing their self defense, self escape moves.  (This verbal maneuver also tends to unnerve and distract the would-be assailant.)

Principle #6 -  Escaping And Running -  Look, you are not teaching your child to stand up and go toe-to-toe with an adult.  The self defense and self protection mindset of the child is to counter-attack the assailant, suddenly and by surprise for one and only purpose which is to cause sharp, sudden and unexpected pain so that the assailant will release their grip and let go enough for your child to get away.  Once they let up or let go, the primary goal of your child is to escape and run like hell as he or she shouts "Help!  Help!  Someone help me!"

Principle #7 -  Practice With Your Child Periodically Reality-Based Scenarios -  Role play with your child the various attack and counter attack moves outside on the streets in the same environment where the child would encounter it.  This will give him or her a better acclimation to memory to responding with the right move if and when, God forbid, should anything like this were to happen.

The Power of Visualization in Self Defense

When you think about learning self defense, you may initially feel overwhelmed. There are many different kinds of self defense to choose from. There is martial arts self defense; there are self defense DVD programs; there is reality based self defense. The list really goes on and on. The thing you have to keep in mind is your ultimate goal. Are you just looking to get fit (in which case, martial arts self defense is great)? Are you looking to really take your personal safety in your own hands and make sure you can face any situation (in which case, you want something reality based and brutally intense)?

Once you have chosen the program that is right for your lifestyle, personality, and goals; you're well on your way. When you first begin a martial arts self defense program - or any self defense program really - your motivation is very high. You are being challenged and learning things that have meaning in your life. There is nothing like a great self defense program to give you confidence in yourself! Even self defense DVD programs that allow you to learn and practice at home give you valuable tools.

Here's a tip to help you gain as much knowledge and know-how as possible: revert back to your childhood and let your imagination flow. That's right, daydreaming can be oh so good for your progress in mastering martial arts self defense. Scientifically, we are visual beings. Our minds picture all sorts of things every single day; how we will look wearing that new jacket; what traffic will look like on the way to work or school. When it is time to give that presentation or ask for that promotion, our mind will picture how we will look and what we will say. The smart mind will go so far as to imagine a favorable outcome too!

The science behind visualization has been studied for decades; beginning back in the 1930's with neuro-muscular researcher Edmund Jacobson. In the initial research, it was found that there are parts of our brains and nervous systems that cannot tell the difference between something that is really happening and that which is well imagined and visualized. This principle is also used to support the Law of Attraction; but that's a whole different story. The point is that visualization has a lot of power to help you control that which happens in your life.

Thinking in terms of your martial arts self defense or fighting techniques; visualization can play a huge role in how you respond in a real life situation. For this reason, it is good to allow yourself the time to daydream a little; to see yourself holding off a would-be assailant; to see yourself disarming a bad guy wielding a knife. A safe outcome to a dangerous situation is possible, and if you spend time imagining your responses to specific scenarios - such as a grab from behind - you are more likely to react quickly and hit your mark when you do throw that punch or kick.

Daydreaming can do a lot for you when you learn to harness the power of visualization and focus it on your self defense techniques. Obviously, this all goes hand in hand with practice and hard work; but including visualization increases your skill significantly.

4 Street Fighting Self Defense Moves & Tips!

I am excited to offer a few easy but powerful components when dealing with any street fight self defense situations. You will learn methods for averting confrontation and how to take care of a potential attacker.

Street fighting self defense moves #1 - Be attentive of whatever environment you are in. Maintain a constant awareness wherever you are, including the people you deal with each and every day. Stay vigilant about your surroundings so as not to become a victim of another brutal attack.

Street fighting self defense tips #2 - Be prepared to strike first before a threatening situation escalates Raise both hands up to your head and each elbow gathered closely against your torso to let the assailant know you do not want any trouble but be prepared to initiate a fight barring any other possibilities.

Street fighting self defense moves #3 - Make sure not to allow yourself to be brought to the ground in a street fight If this happens immediately gain back a standing position. I recommend not implementing any Jiujitsu moves as it has proven ineffectual during street fights.

Street fighting self defense tips #4 - Debilitate an attacker through brutal martial arts techniques. Utilize wicked moves to claw at the eyes, punish the throat with brutal punches, kick vulnerable shins and sensitive knees, and do not forget to kick the groin area until the attacker is completely incapacitated. You have just learned four ways to better defend yourself.

Always stay physically in shape and take whatever martial arts training you can, that incorporates reality based drills and techniques!
