self defense myths

[Pekka]

Vesayen, yes there are good sides too, it's not ALL bad.
And there are good stuff in JJ, so it's not so obsolete, and can work in real situations too. I didn't have this in particular in my mind when I was writing this.

[Pekka]

Vesayen, so you know the difference between good sparring and .. not having it at all really. There's a big difference.

Instructing? What you mean? I'm not instructor, and furthermore I don't instruct people in classes and make money out of it?

[Pekka]

You know what I meant.

[RGBVideo]

You know what I meant.

Yeah, I do, we were using different meanings for the same word... this language hasn't got enough words, meanings are too inspecific.

[Pekka]

Sure.. no problem. YOu are just one tough customer

What do you think about Ta-Quan-Do (sp?)

[Pekka]

Haven't heard about it?

But my problem is not so much with the techniques, while I disagree with many of them. It's about the training methods and how the whole system works.
I made a strong statement earlier, and I take it back a little. But my problem with these are how they train.

[Elok]

You mean Tae Kwon Do?
Anyway, if I were faced with a black belt in whatever to fight, I would want a gas-powered chainsaw. See if they have the guts to grab my wrist when there's a whirling mass of jagged spikes less than a foot away. What's the matter, karate man? Afraid my hand will twitch?
Also, while it's illegal in my state to carry around a knife more than 3 inches in length, I don't believe there's anything on the books forbidding me to carry a chainsaw. It's a tool, not a weapon!
Of course, it's also almost impossible to hide...which is probably why it's legal. You can't have everything.
This concludes my threadjack.

hi ,

only one solution Pekka , " Krav Maga " , .....

become a certified instructor and teach yourself , ......

have a nice day

[Pekka]

Krav Maga wasn't one of the stuff I was bashing. It's good, it's realistic. Especially the military version.

[Az]

How about a thin chainsaw, that would be hidden in a holster, like a sward?

[Pekka]

Or just a little needle, stick yourself and scream 'I have HIV!!!'..

bad j/k (but effective)

[Ted Striker]
