Three guys with sledgehammers tried to mug me this morning. And you know what your right. I didn't use any bjj or clinch or even Thai Boxing. I snapped kicked one in the nuts. Then I quickly Pak saued to wedge to double paked to jut to straight blast to right foot forward outside silat sweeped the other. Them I slid between the third guys legs like I was sliding into first and head butted him in the balls a la mande munda.
My one regret was that I don't carry a pen like yours because I would have stuck in right in one of their necks
I was totally fooling my self-using training method where you work against "resistance." From now on it's all about cooperative training partners. I may even take up combat Ki.
Real Situations where bjj might come into play... just off the top of my head.
Being mugged in an elevator by a guy with no weapon but who is much bigger than you are. Happened to a friend of mine in a hotel in Atlanta about a month ago.
Throwing the last rowdy guy out of a bar before closing. Has happened to a friend of mine more than once. The last time he had to armbar the guy to get him to stop fighting.
Two real things that have happened to real people who I really know
On the other hand
Being shot and killed by a drunken jackass in a bar despite being a really good martial artist and tough as nails.
Being stabbed and killed during a melee in a crowded club, despite being a really good martial artist.
Two real things that have happened to real people who I really knew
Basically some people are lucky and some aren't
