Some Self Defense Basics

Hey, everyone. If you haven't noticed by now I've been focusing a lot on self defense lately. It seems to be almost completely ignored by people in preparedness circles. I can understand why. It takes a long time to get good at it. There's a lot of getting sweaty and rolling around with other sweaty people. It's pretty easy to get hurt. Especially, if you're just rolling around with your buddies in your backyard. Quality training is pretty expensive. Besides, why learn how to fight when you can just carry a gun? Realistically, though, there aren't too many situations that we should be prepping for that are more likely than getting jumped on the street and sometimes pulling a gun will get you in a lot more trouble than it's worth. Here are some really good videos on self defense basics. Stephan Kesting has a lot of BJJ videos online and he's one of the better "youtube instructors" that I've found. He sticks to the basics and he does a good job of explaining everything thoroughly and simply so that it's easy to understand. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Judo and Karate are some of the best self defense techniques. The children and the girls who are highly vulnerable should be taught these martial arts for their self defense.

There are a lot of ways to learn self-defense. All you have to do is to make some research. Through social media, one can already learn the basics of self-defense. But then again, if you can pay for actual training, be sure to choose reliable martial arts school, and learn from reputable instructors.

I have taken many self-defense courses but what I really want to learn is knife defense. I understand, of course, that the number 1 rule is to run away but what about cases where that doesn't work? So I'm still looking for a trainer in Ohio that could instruct me - does anyone know of anyone?

BJJ is not an ideal self defense system because it relies too much on being on the ground. Fighting on the ground is tactically the worst place you can be. You lose vision and mobility being on the ground which is a bad thing if there are more than one attacker. Most traditional martial arts are unrealistic to learn quickly due to their complex moves. It takes years to become an effective fighter learning most traditional martial arts. Seek training in Krav Maga. It is a realistic based combat tested form of self defense. Food for thought....

Krav Maga's a good way to go and judo is definitely worthwhile.

Very useful information. Many people don't understand the need for self defense and end up victims from violent criminals. Keep sharing.

Why you should train jiu-jitsu (or some other "real" martial art)

"Where there's discomfort there's fear. In these very tough positions you're in a little piece of hell. And through this daily suffering, you learn to survive in these situations. You have to find comfort in uncomfortable situations. You have to be able to live in your worst nightmare. Jiu-jitsu puts you completely in the moment where you must have complete focus on finding a solution to the problem. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems. Sometimes, you don't have to win. You cannot win. But that has nothing to do with losing." -Rickson Gracie This is why I continue to train jiu-jitsu. At a good school you'll do a lot of live grappling (we call it rolling). You get choked out, arm barred, leg locked and put into plenty of other uncomfortable situations all the time till you get used to them. Then you start learning how to defend. Then you find yourself submitting people. Then a...
