Honestly, I didn't know it was illegal when I first purchased it. But to be fair, what was even more illegal than my knife purchase is the amount...
I actually never thought about it as either/or (either the heel or the edge of the foot). I usually just hit with the entire bottom of the foot in...
I carry a "Ka Bar" plain blade in a sheath that I wear around my abdomen. It came in handy once during a nighttime encounter walking home from work.
As a teenager, getting attacked by groups was a common phenomenon at my high school. The locals of this particular part of North Philadelphia...
That might be true to some extent that you never reach your absolute full potential, but you can come pretty darn close. I remember when I was...
Was dang surprised to see Lesnar beat Mark Hunt so methodically. No disrespect for either fighter, of course, I was just so excited to see my boy...
This actually happened a few times to me when I was younger. But it was only because I was on my way to taekwondo class. I had already put my dogi...
It's all right. Some of my friends at school had a hard time believing that I had actually fought off four guys at once. It's cool.
This was an alley way that led out of my school. The alley way mostly served as a place for the car business that was right next door to my school.
He grabbed the back of my head with his right hand and then punched me with his left. Straight hook punch to my jaw.
Roy Jones Jr. is pretty cool too.
During my years of training, I have met a few self-defense practitioners who, like me, have been living with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. (For...
I thought I would share a an experience of mine that involved myself being attacked by a small group of individuals a couple years back. I'm...
Oh yeah, you can definitely throw someone who's larger than you if you practice hard on your technique during class time. Also, don't be afraid to...
This really takes me back to my younger days as a taekwondo student. More specifically the first time I got the wind knocked out of me by a hard...
For the first question, I trained in a taekwondo/judo school from ages 11 to 17. For the second question, I guess I call myself middle-aged...
I agree with this post. As long it's something that's passed down from student to teacher, you can still call it tradition. (And as long as those...
I've pondered this question for quite some time now. Some experts say the sport is too brutal and not truly a sport but a violent spectacle....
Haha, I sure wish they would teach ME that trick in jujutsu class!
I know that in my style of jujutsu, we use a lot of kicks to the ribs. Usually things like a front kick are used to set up a more complicated move...
It consists of just about everything these guys said and more. As a former Judo student myself, I can honestly tell you that it is a well rounded...
The guy I studied it from was from a school called "Hokutoryu Jujutsu" I think. They're located somewhere out in Chicago, I think. But yeah, I...
I think it depends on the person's tolerance for pain and their own training abilities. If it works for you, then I would say go for it. Sometimes...
I agree. I think Lesnar actually performed pretty well when he first came on the MMA scene back in 2008/2009. When I first saw him knock down...
Haha, I've been wondering that myself.:)
Ah, mine is the old-school Japanese jiu-jitsu with the standing joint locks and such. I do have a ton respect for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, though, as...
I was first taught taekwondo and judo, but most recently have been studying jiu-jitsu.
I think that the good thing about modern self-defense (and most of you will probably agree with me) is that we can actually the fit the techniques...
This actually could work to your advantage if it were a real fight instead of a sparring match. Usually when we're fighting in self-defense, we...
