Lets be realistic. If there is multiple attackers, no matter what style or styles you train, your in for an ass kicking. If your not smart enough to get away from a situation like that you deserve it. But if you are attacked anyways, being in martial arts can help.. some more than others. BJJ is taught mostly on the ground, correct. But most BJJ instructors study other arts and incorporate that into their lessons. In my case we did boxing, kick boxing, and MT. So I believe that if I come in contact with a black belt TKD ass munch, I'm going to hand him an ass whooping.
About explainging things to the police. And being honest and respectful is the only way to go. If you lie, cuss and are a total ass, they will probably not cut you slack, they may cut something else tho.... But just be honest about the fight, explaing your training and how you did it, some might think its cool. And don't use excessive force. Use only what you need to subdue the attacker. Unless they have a gun or knife, which you should have ran anyways, then lethal force is an option.
HKD is letting me practice kicks, punches, and gay ass "escapes" when someone grabs my wrist. TKD/HKD gives people a false sense of security. Seriously, does the fight end when you get kicked, or thrown on your back? Street fighting is way different than "sport" fighting. But if you want to be well rounded, I suggest you study multiple arts. Professional fighters study more than one or two arts, and if they say they don't they are lying. They may have a main art, and maybe work weak points with someone else. |
