After all, when sizing someone up, it's the first thing you evaluate (um..that's why it's called it "sizing up"). We don't just assume he's bigger. We also assume he has friends, is armed, has intent on harming us and is willing to do so. We also make some more assumptions...like we may be fighting on ice, in the parking lot, or even in the sand or in the woods. We also think that we're probably going to be attacked when we're sick, tired, injured, older or otherwise distracted. Yes we make a lot of ASSumptions at the SDC, but they're not in our favor. That being said, the question on the table is: How do you defeat larger attackers? We address this from Module 1 of the SDTS and we continue this line of thinking throughout. The first and most obvious way is close quarters weapons.self protection]]> best self defense]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-To-Defeat-Larger-Attackers/3656430 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:53:35 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-To-Defeat-Larger-Attackers/3656430 In any military based system, the use of a fist is impractical and dangerous. Any system that advocates using a fist and is taught as self defense or in a military context should be re-examined as to its authenticity in real world situations. The reason that ko-ryu (old school) systems that were used to train samurai in hand to hand combat never used a fist and relied heavily on grappling and joint locks combined with limited edge of hand and heel of hand strikes when it came to hand to hand combat was because the person they were fighting was most likely wearing armor and the risk of injuring your fist to the point where gripping a weapon was impossible was a risk they did not take. Modern warriors both civilian and professional should do the same. Even the Okinawa fighting arts known for their development of the first fist in the use of the reverse punch, avoided striking the head. Even though they advocated heavy fist conditioning, punching to hard areas of the body were ill-advised due to risk of severe injury or worse, infection.martial arts]]> self defense]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Stop-The-Fisting/3656429 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:53:35 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Stop-The-Fisting/3656429 If it was your decision not to learn kung fu, or some other martial art...too sweaty, too hard...maybe you should reconsider. Society is flipping out, and I mean in our own safe, little cities. Here are seven instances of people who have gone over to the dark side, and they are the total argument for learning self defense. Two girls didn't like the way some fry cook was taking their McNuggets order at their McDonalds restaurant, so they jumped over the counter and went after him. He decided to pick up an iron bar and proceeded to give them a little of their own medicine. McDonalds should have included Karate or Kung Fu lessons in their training! Young kids don't have the only edge on insanity, because a sixty year old woman repeatedly stabbed her boyfriend. Her reason was that she was just sure that he was cheating at the Monopoly game they were playing! Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to jail...and it's too bad her boyfriend didn't know a little Krav Maga or Jujitsu!

Krav Maga Krav Maga is Hebrew for 'contact combat' and is considered one of the most, if not the most efficient form of fighting combat in the world. Formulated by a Croat and used by a number of armies and police forces, it is best known as the fighting style of the Israeli special forces - Mossad. Krav Maga is a no holds barred form of street combat that incorporates both western and eastern influences. The simultaneous attack/defend actions, which are specifically created for this form of fighting mean it is among the most dangerous in the world.Groupon]]> Daily Deals]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Learn-Self-Defence-With-Our-Best-Daily-Deals-Classes/3649775 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:21:08 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Learn-Self-Defence-With-Our-Best-Daily-Deals-Classes/3649775 A Almaden, CA martial arts program is dishing out a lot more than kicking AND punching technique.

Sure Krav Maga "says" a lot of things similar to the SDTS but you can't judge a system by its marketing. Even though there are some good techniques in Krav Maga, a few good techniques or concepts does not mean it's effective. In order to evaluate a system you need to look at it from a complete learning perspective. Most people will go through a curriculum technique by technique and judge each individual reaction to a situation as a good or bad, this is the wrong approach. In order to look at any system as a whole you need to look at it from the training experience perspective. Take mathematics for instance. You learn basic principles and then you discover how to apply those basic principles to more complex equations. The same holds true for self defense. You need to see the same, viable concepts running through every situation. A viable concept must work under the conditions it's intended to work.self protection]]> best self defense]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Sdts-Is-Not-Krav-Maga/3529498 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:20:14 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Sdts-Is-Not-Krav-Maga/3529498 The world of Martial Arts Programs has increased and practically all of these classes require you to register in order to participate.

I have no idea as to how that is pronounced, so you can just do your best when you try to tell your friends about it. In 1917 when the Russians finally decided that bone crushing and ligament tearing were not good enough, they developed Sambo. This was taught to the red army, but being a communist country with a huge crime scene, many people on the streets started learning the methods. These hoodlums on the streets actually contributed some pretty useful techniques to the Sambo arsenal, such as: take the knife from your attacker and break his leg before you stab him with his own blade. Yup, that is the type of thing they teach in a Sambo class; it's Russian what did you expect, some hoity-toity energy flow crap about becoming one with yin and yang or whatever? But even more hard core is the MCMAP (the Marine Corps martial arts program). Unlike most martial arts, this one teaches you how to use your weapons, which are provided by United States government.Martial Arts]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Martial-Arts-Useful-For-Killing-A-Man/3354960 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:34:15 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Martial-Arts-Useful-For-Killing-A-Man/3354960 Choosing a fitness center in a place like Houston can be really daunting task to do because first of all there are so many Houston fitness gyms and secondly before choosing the right one, you need to consider a lot of things in order to find the right one.
