Just hope the defence team doesn't get a hold of your post.

 

well the thing is weather they are effective or not,when sparring or real fighting the time and distance changes so qiucky that its either luck or u have to make time by destracting them by faking a head shot,but with this said it should be done with of a series of moves accident or otherwise

 

What if they ARE women? :woo: :woo: :woo:

 

if they are don't fight them in the first place!

 

Well, in that case you rejoice in the lamentations of their men, simple adjustment.


And what if they are lesbian women? - Again that reverts to the lamentation of their women.

Or if they are Gay guys? Well, then you rejoice in the lamentation of their men.

If they're Bi(male or female version)? Rejoice in the lamentation of their men AND women, making this one quite possibly the best.

 

We appear to be somewhat bogged down in the lamentation department. Let us return to the politically INCORRECT subject of nut cracking. In Krav Maga there is a deception technique used when running from the scene. Stop abruptly, pivot on ball of leading foot and drive heel and sole of other foot into oncoming groin. Double impact!! The condition of the ground must be stable and dry, otherwise it's splits time.

Sparcz, the matter of self protection in the UK is about to be changed in favour of victim. Soon the situation where a burglar could sue a householder for injuries sustained during a fight will cease to be. And about time too!! A walking stick is a walking stick. It is like architecture. In Krav Maga, it is suggested a wall is useful for head ramming. The ground is also an assistant on occasion. If people do not attack you, then they do not get injured. That is plain sense. It would appear that UK law will soon reflect that reality.

One should also demonstrate a spirit of generosity towards an attacker. Give four blows back for every blow they offer.

Well i've heard it is just as painful for women as it is for guys. It was discussed in the thread: "women shots" in the SD forum

 

OOOHHHH!!!!!!! :woo: :woo: :woo:

 

I generally try not to fight women too. Not because I think they cant defend themselves, it just seems wrong

 

I once had to have a testicle massaged out of my lower abdomen, where it had become lodged after a very solid boot by a guy about 20Kg heavier than me. If you can land a strike properly, its devestating.

Excruciating doesn't quite describe that special brand of dizzying pain...

 

I assume from what you have said, that you didn't sue the thug who perpetrated this foul act against you, neither did you sue the school for breach of contract under their "duty of care" implicit terms or for negligence in ensuring this type of thing does not happen. Why didn't you use the protection of the law. You could be considerably more wealthy by now

 

Urgh...Oh my GOD...that's just brutal. Who massaged if for you?

 

My experiences ahve taught me this. Being hit in my precious will drop me if I don't have an adrenaline dump. If the adrenaline is flowing its something I can shrug off for a while.

The fearsome d34dlyness of the groin strike in the dojo probably comes from the fact that when you're training, the adrenaline isn't flowing in the same way it would be in a real fight or competition.

 

Great and accurate summary. Adrenaline isn't something that's regularly present in school situations.

Note, there will always be exceptions to rules. But if you want to stay safe you play the rule not the exception.

Groin shots hurt. But they are not guarenteed to put someone down. And if the posts on this thread are an example, we;ve had as many example of people shrugging them off as dropping. And when something gets even close to 50%/50% then you can't count on it to work by itself.

We've gone way of topic. And by the looks of things, we've also completely exhausted this subject. So, before this goes anywhere else, let's lock this down...
