no man, I was screwing around, i was only half kidding that its gonna be the 3 stooges style forum though.

You made a pretty good point, when you hear MMA everyone knows you mean sports. That being said, we NEED a forum to discuss self defense. Not just in the street though, in your home, at work, on an airplane wherever you might have to defend yourself.

the reality is probably none of us here on this forum will ever compete in UFC , Pride or K1 ...but.....there is a very good chance we will encounter an altercation at some point in our lives where we will be in harms way....self defense is a great subject which should be explored , discussed and debated since we all have some experience to bring to the table...the big question is will we get it? hello TIM????

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay! I just saw this thread.

I'll add the new forum.

Please post your suggestions as far as a name and description for the new forum.

Thanks,

Tim

Sweet! thanks Tim! I think a self presevervation theme would be good. Not just the physical aspects, but the mental as well. It shouldnt just cover the street though, it should cover everywhere outside the ring. After all self defense can happen anywhere except the ring and the first rule of self defense is there arent any rules.

i agree with boarspear with the mental part, how about having a forum titled "defensive situation awareness" or whatever maybe have 2 forums one for "physical self defence situations" and one for "the mental side of self defence situations"



peace

There is already a forum for Mental Training Techniques and the Psychology of Fighting. Tony Blauer used to spearhead it until he got too busy.

Keep the ideas coming....

I'm super excited about this. Agreed that it shouldn't just be street but anywhere outside the ring. Hopefully it can also include "how I stayed out of a fight" stories too. And possibly a chance for people to (respectfully) discuss what techniques worked or didn't work for them in real life, and why.

Thanks, Tim!!!!

This is the first good thread idea in a while, i've kept up with the posts and found it difficult to join into a serious discussion when it turns to pointless name calling.

a good place to discuss this stuff is in the tac/mil /law section I just started a thread in there check it out, I'm interasted in 2 things in ma training 1 fighting in the rig 2. self protection outside of the ring everything else is just intangiable b.s. i.m.h.o. and all system are just a meanse to an end/a way to achive the objective.Just train and fight and everythig else will take care of it self
