Welcome again gentle reader and not so gentle minions.
This will be another installment of the being a “Stealth Ninja EvS junior Minion” training program
****For ACADEMIC RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY****
I take no responsibility for anyone stupidly misusing any techniques or skills shown .
Still here? Good, lets carry on……
Just two things before I get into this:
1/SITUATIONAL AWARENESS is the key– knowing your surroundings and anticipating threats before they happen will keep you out of situations where you have to worry about fighting and dying!
2/ The ONLY dirty fight is the one YOU LOSE- there is no such thing as “fighting dirty”(but there is still dirty dancing lmao). If your in a sport like MMA (yes its a sport like boxing,soccer or kayaking with rules, protections and such) or other dojo sports it’s not going to be enough in real world scenarios. When your life and limb is on the line anything goes and that’s biting, fingers in the eyes, ball grabbing and even kicking someone in the teeth.
Were all not Spiderman with super senses or perpetual radar. Sometimes we get distracted or get into scenarios not of our choosing. That’s where learning how to fight counts.
I really love Bob Taylor‘s techniques because they are greasy and effective, plus he really rocks that stash! Although these days he has the goatee thing going on.
disarming someone with a hangun is always the hometown favorite……
It takes practice to get things to stick, especially if you want your brain and body to work together when the adrenaline is flowing. There’s various skill sets in the army that Ive done so much I can literally do them blindfolded. Even if you practice a few minutes a day a few days a week it will stick, like learning a good habit(Ironically bad habits are learned in a similar fashion).
A great instructional series (and they are NOT paying me to say this lol) is from “FIGHT FAST.”
Its free to sign up and they give you about a weeks worth of free instructional videos and pointers in a blog. It’s straight up useful hand to hand skills without all of the frills. They also help dispel a lot of myths out there that you will find being taught in various security industries. ITS NOT MMA– its for REAL LIFE situations. Link here
Even if your a vet or think you have some Kung-Pow check it out anyway, its encouraged me to shake out my skill set and get practicing again. Of course “free” has a catch and these guys will spam you with all sorts of offers giving away weapons and DvD’s. Some of em are good deals some not so much. However the instructional videos that they send out for nuthin’ are pretty good.
There is ALWAYS more than one way to get to a goal. Find what works best for you but be aware of what your own intentions are when you look into martial arts, is it about gaining belts and tournaments? Getting into shape? Or about SURVIVAL? Choose wisely.
Regardless of which is best for you PRACTICE!
Thanks for tuning in -EvS
