Basic self defense class for lazy/busy people

[69nites]

The real answer is a gun and run.

If you can GTFO, do that. If you can't the great equalizer is the answer.

A good grappling base is more important than the ability to throw a punch. Both are useless when a crazy person decides they want to poke you up. That's what a remote hole poking device is for.

 

[OldeBull1]

Krav Maga is a good self defense class.

If you want to become a good fighter, take up boxing, bjj, wrestling, mma. Do that for 2 or three years, 3 times a week. You'll be a decent fighter.

Krav won't make you a good fighter. It will, in a short time, give you self defense tools. It is intentionally basic and simple. Taught correctly, it includes a defensive mindset and awareness training. It's not all groin strikes and eye gouges, but sure, it focuses on a lot of 'dirty' moves.

Krav can't compare to a skilled fighting style. But it isn't meant to. For someone untrained and looking for practical versus sport, it is a great place to start.

If ya the type of person that has feelz and dont want to really poke holes in some one and watch em leak while your waiting to do the paperwork ,, you could always go with a Byrna or some thing similar. Personally I prefer some thing like a Steyr M40 but to each his own.

I'm just here to play the asshole devil's advocate because my girl was pissed at me for a few days, then "started" so...I've not had any trim in a bit.

Wrestling/BJJ: both are for good for fighting ....but you aren't fighting, you're ending a confrontation. There's no quick end to a grappling match. And it's on the ground. "Urban youths" tend to pick a side and join in when they see people on the ground. And judging by your avi...you aren't getting picked. Lol

Plus, breaks don't work on drug people....go arm bar or aoki lock a meth head... he'll beat you with the other arm or stomp you with the other foot as you annihilate his limb.

Only chokes work. And you just saw what happened to that marine in NYC that RN choked that public menace of a man on the subway. They buried the guy that was arrested 46 times in a gold and ivory casket...and the marine is going to get life in a slum jail in new York. Right after a race baiting kangaroo court trial that ensures every day of his life in jail is a miserable fight for basic survival.

Krav maga is fucking stupid. They don't even spar because it's "too dangerous." But let me key you in...if some krav guy hits me in the balls, he gets slammed on his stupid fucking head. It's the rules. Krav maga is some dumb overly complicated shit.

Gun...no. Its hypocritical, because I am a fundamental believer in your second amendment right. But see the NYC marine thing above.

Pepper spray is amazing. It sucks the life out of people. Shit is hilarious. Go watch a pepper spray vid or two on YouTube. Lol people go from being enraged...to in hell on a moment's notice.

Tasers suck ass. May as well try to talk your way out of it.

Running isn't always an option. When it is...do that. Your girl will think you're a coward and will probably go back and meet the guy....never mind. Off topic. Where was I? Oh yes...

Muy Thai or kick boxing is the ticket. I wouldn't even pick solely boxing...because the best get out of a fight free card I've ever seen was the teep kick. It's painful if they aren't expecting it....and it makes space for your escape.

A guy with 6 months of basic striking is good enough to defend himself. Unless it goes to the ground...which most fights do . Then you'll need something else. But you just wanted the $99 introductory package.

You aren't going to "get good" at fighting if you've never done it. Classes aren't going to do it. You're going to have to fight to be competent at fighting. But again...you aren't looking to be good. Just better than the average tent person.

Revisiting the "run" situation....if you're going to run, it oughta be running out of DC. What a shit hole.

Good luck, fam.

I'm just wondering why nobody suggested "rape whistle" or just "911 call the appropriate authorities"???

Authorities in DC. Pfft. Haven't you heard of the Karen laws!?

 

[CohibaRobusto]

Fox Mean Green pepper spray is awesome, it dyes the perpetrator green for law enforcement purposes. I keep a can in my truck for less than lethal defense purposes.

As a societal predator that's been pepper sprayed....I HIGHLY recommend it.

Bonus points: if a homeless person decides to rob you, but has no access to a shower....the pepper spray will be an investment that keeps paying dividends in pain for days to come.

Also, mace and OC spray is NOT pepper spray and is not as effective. Mace and OC wouldn't even curtail my desire for the contents of your girlfriend's purse.

Old friends of mine and I that shared a living space for a while would uh ,, "prank" each other with CS from time to time ... nothing like sitting there taking a shit at 4am and some wise guy tosses in a 28 second blast of Mr Clearout haaahahaah good times.

You could go the paintball gun and skunkball route too haahahha prolly not the best idea but it sure would be fucking hilarious

.68 Cal Skunk Rounds (Tube of 10)

Skunk Balls contain a strong, non-toxic but repulsive odor. The Skunk Balls are non-flammable and are a great alternative to Capsaicin (OC Powder) Rounds that may be difficult to obtain by civilians in some states. Keep out of the reach of children and animals at all times. If ingested and in...

No, modern Krav Maga is garbage. If it isn't learned from an actual Israeli soldier, it might as well be karate.

Learn basic boxing and wrestling. If nothing else, the confidence and discipline will help across the board. If possible, carry pepper spray or learn to safety carry and use a weapon. Avoidance if possible and distance would be the most important aspect to learn and read, lots of bums have knives.

 

[cavorite]

No weapon? Bigger guy wins.
Weapon? Person without weapon loses.

Obviously, the best self defense is simply retreating. It's not flashy or manly, but neither is rolling around on the street with a smelly aids ridden drug addict.

This is probably the most practical advice given that I don't have the time or interest to invest in combat sports.

It just bothers me that we cede entire public spaces to people like this.

But like you say, beating some crackhead who says lewd shit to my girl is a no win situation. Adding weapons would just make it worse.

I'm pretty sure I could protect her as is. The whole situation just makes me angry. There's no way to avoid walking past this area either.

A solid Teep will buy you tonnes of time
If they're a junkie and look quick, a nice kick to the lower quad will curl their toes and thr fucker wont be running after you any time soon

lòooooookoooooooooool
Fucking rape whistle

Bought one the other day, friend is going on a canoe trip in a national park, and apparently its law to have one.

I ensured to refer to it as a rape whistle the entire shopping trip

Blame our governments who prosecute people protecting themselves

Fighting is a lose lose nowadays

Id love to just fucking wreck some mouthy punk...but its not worth catching a case.

I love my life, its fucking awesome

You can literally teep kick a meth head into another time zone. Like they are filled with helium or something. Weird.

The thing is they always find their way back ,, worse than fucking cats ...

I also would worry too much. Tranq is taking over. It’s the same stuff I use to immobilize cattle but now they are mixing it with fentanyl.

Funny how the market is suddenly flooded with it. Couldn’t possibly be the same 3 letter agency responsible for the crack epidemic could it?

 

[Joliver]

I change my mind. Shotgun.

Without watching it...from memory:

Pistols put holes in people.

Rifles put holes through people.

Shotguns take a chunk of shit out of them and throw it on the floor.

I've used it quite a bit.
