It depends how and what you train. EDIT: I'm sure someone must know of a person who's got a better average than 15%!
He is Luke Holloway and is an absolute joke - that loser can barely walk and talk at the same time. His entire history is fabricated and he has no connection with any agencies or bodies I would rather rely on tae bo
Haha! Thanks, good to know he made up his background. [though, in the above video, he only mentions being a bouncer in a club, which I could believe. He does claim a lot though: http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=101789 ] So, about your EH vs knife story; in what way was it luck? Did your skills and intent have nothing to do with the outcome?
Hmmm... I did notice you mention "line familarity and footwork to close down his possible responses"... I can't believe they made you pay for your oven chips though!
That's funny, less than a week ago they seemed to work ok for a student of mine (female, just over 9 stone, training somewhere between 12-18 months) to drop a man after he'd just broken another man's nose. I'll be sure to let her know that, contrary to her experience, her training is useless
Sure, but I can't help but think that added more than 5% to the mix. I wonder why you challenged him first? Your LEO training?
Bingo! I got an "attaboy" letter for it, a cool story and he was convicted of another robbery he had done and not been caught for And I STILL had to buy the bloody chips!
Cool. Though I completely agree, not worth it over a case of beer! Challenging people isn't something I'd want to do, attacks work much better if the other person isn't expecting it. I'm sure I'd act differently if I had police training though.
Your students and peers seem to get into a lot of altercations. More work on situational awareness maybe? Mitch
It's not so much the training as the mindset - it can best be described as a kind of "righteous wrath" Not always a good thing!
She wasn't involved in the altercation, she stepped in to prevent any further bloodshed. The police had no problem with her actions, and she didn't injure the guy.
She did. Before he could take a second swing she put him off-balance with a front kick to the mid-section, then took him to the floor by his throat. Then she backed off to let the security guys restrain him till the cops arrived. It's not so much the techniques that are important though, as the training methods that allow people to act in an appropriate manner reflexively and decisively. Different people will naturally favour different techniques.
