Please, Stop Training For Self Defense!

OK.



Sorry, this doesn't make you a better fighter.

In fact, many martial artist have come to realize there can be too many tools, and have concentrated on using the few effective ones and train harder using those. So whoever trains harder tends to be the better fighter, and in my experience, RBSD instructors don't appear to train very hard. Of course you probably know that, deep inside.

Your gonna have to back that up with some solid evidence there chum.

That statement about less tools being better is completely opposite of anything that has been proven effective in at least the last 50 years.

I'll be happy to view any scientific facts from a credible source when you find them, that back this statement.


Even people who can't agree to what color the sky is on here, have all said the opposite of this statement you've made.

I do have something over someone who trains solely in boxing.

I train to kick too. See more tools.

And now we see the troll.

Show me where I claim to be a tuff guy. Quote it for me.

What I got out of it was, you assume you have something over your basic boxer because you know something he doesn't. Now, I'm not talking about your own fighting ability here, I don't know you from Adam.


Do you have a point here, because you seem to be making mine for me.


I've seen this in RBSD schools, and I'm sure you've seen it too, though not in the exagerated form your or maybe even I has put it. And you seem to enjoy the same exact aspects of training I do, so I hope if you have seen the paranoid "shit spouted by idiots" that I have, I hope it would leave a bad taste in your mouth as well.

Unless of course you like the taste of shit in your mouth, which I'm sure you're acustomed to due to amount of shit that comes out of it, tough guy.

You're coming around though, kiddo. You just don't know it yet.

I didn't deny that some schools spout the "paranoia shit" and I don't enjoy hearing it no. I believe I said something to that point.

There's that whole literacy thing again. You should work on that.


Yes I enjoy training, I don't do things I don't enjoy.

You enjoy putting words into other people's mouths, and then using that thought train to attempt to twist what people have said to your ideals.

It's called double talk. There used to be a guy on here that was light years better at it than you.

But he's gone now....................and I'm still here.


I didn't really care for talking to him either.

Crap.

You know, it sounded cool at the time, "The Tokyo Kid". But a 40 year old calling himself " Anything Kid" is a bit cool-raver-dad I now realize.

And the musical aspect doesn't help much either I suppose... well at least I have an avatar now.

[Tokyo Kid]

if that's what you got out of that, then that's your problem.

Mind you it has been said over and over, you fight like you train.

No but I'm sure you're an expert at it already.

Do you expect your house to burn down at any minute.

Do you anticipate you will be in a car accident every time you leave the house?

Do you expect to be robbed every night?

Do you have a point here, because you seem to be making mine for me.

This paranoia in all RBSD school you speak of is obviously either a ploy to troll, or something somebody told you and you took at face value.

Never in any RBSD class I have attended you instructed in have people been told


"You will be mugged", "You will be raped." "Everyone is out to get you!!!"


This is shit spouted by idiots or people who have no basis in the subject.


I don't need to point out which one you are, you did already.


I have loads of fun hitting the heavy bag, and the hit pads.

Training is something I do everyday. practice equals skills.

I have shit loads of fun hitting the reinforced tire stack with my escrima sticks.

And practicing knife work just makes me giggle with glee.

So pull a couple of feet out of your mouth and try again.

OK, kickboxing then. Or maybe spend a half-hour out of his life and teach him a groin-kick or eye-gouge. Do you really think a well trained boxer can't fight outside the ring, without a ref?

if that's what you got out of that, then that's your problem.

Mind you it has been said over and over, you fight like you train.

I don't need to spend five hours a week pretending to put out fires, do I?

No but I'm sure you're an expert at it already.

Because it might be fun!!!! Yippee!!!

Kind of like lazer-tag? Is that what you get out of it, pretending to beat up compliant muggers all day? Screaming "FIRE!" while punching giant headed pseudo-rapists in their padded balls? Or is it the warm fuzzy feeling you get knowing if some one lunge-punches you know secret death-touch techniques that the military doesn't want you to know?

[Tokyo Kid]

Kicks. Groin shots. Non-ring sport fighting ability.

The benefit of knowing there isn't always a referee.

Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home?

Do you lock your doors?

Do you wear a seat belt when you drive?

I don't need to spend five hours a week pretending to put out fires, do I?

[mellow]

Why should I check out a RBSD school, could you answer that?

[kingoftheforest]

I was right, 'Kid' is a weak ploy by the Ponytail Gang. Pathetic.

I'm sure the closest thing you've had to a gritty situation is under cooked rice at the sushi house.

Keep tryin'.

Well i tend for the most part to avoid things I don't like. maybe you should avoid RBSD discussions since they seem to bunch up your panties so much.


Confrontation seems to be your thibg though, so maybe you should check out an RBSD school that teaches avoidance and awarness.

My personl belief is that your specialty has less to do with fighting and more with jackassary.

Why should I avoid a forum if it is supposed to be about discussion, or is this one simply a cuddle-retreat for deadly street warriors?

No, fighting isn't my specialty, I'm not a professional fighter. It's what I do for excercise. Now, the fact that I could use it for self defense is certainly a plus. I also believe you should teach kids awareness (and adults if they didn't learn it as children for some reason), but not 3-5 times a week for 2 hours.

Why should I check out a RBSD school, could you answer that? You can even throw around more personal insults from behind your keyboard if it makes you feel tougher. I really don't mind. What does a RBSD school offer that a boxing gym doesn't?

[kingoftheforest]

Which guy, the guy on the video? Are you kidding me? I lived in San Francisco, I met guys like that every day. And girls. And guys dressed like girls.

I never said train in a non-practical martial art, unless thats what you enjoy I suppose. My beef is with the "reality" based schools that deal specifically with hypothetical street scenarios that may or may not happen. It's the method of teaching, not the art itself I have a problem with. Do I have to pretend a punching bag is an evil tai chi master on pcp trying to rape me, or can I hit the bag because it's fun?

Some of you need to lighten up. And if you keep getting mugged walking down the same road dozens of times, maybe you shouldn't walk down that road.

Training should be fun. I agree with that. But what about actual fighting? Wouldn't you rather have something practical to back you up if you should run into someone who is intent on doing you or your loved one/s serious harm such as this guy?
