Reality Based Self Defence Warning

[Thai Bri]

OK guys. Serious time. I reckon its only fair to inform people interested in reality based aself defence about some of the ridiculous things that pass for "training" out there in the RBSD world.

Go here www.selfdefenseforums.com

Don't get me wrong, some of these guys are excellent, top notch in fact.

But have a good read of the site. There are some absolute looney tunes on it that will make you want to organise a convention for them, and then nuke the idiots for the common good of humanity.


People who feel you are actually SINNING if you don't walk around, armed to the teeth. They would gut you as soon as look at you with their armoury of weapons they carry in their under pants. He, the US has the Right to Bear Arms right? But that doesn't mean you have to double your weight in guns, knives, coshes and extra sharpened pens!

Those are the crazy kind of fookers that walk around LOOKING for someone to fight with. They are desperate to find someone to rip open, just s they can tell all their neanderthal chums what great guys they are.

But, and I sincerely mean this, just becasue SOME people in the RBSD world are a few cups short of a tea set, please please please don't tar the rest of us with the same brush.

here's a few links to make you shudder and laugh at the same time as they happily discuss how to gut other human beings as if they're talking about pcking flowers

Now don't think that this is the worse they have to offer. These crazies will happily chat all day about ripping out spleens and puncturing people's lungs. I posted these at random.

They are led by a coward of the highest order who used to post here by the name of DR. He came on having a go at me once but, of course, just could not take me on intellectually. You see, if you try to discuss an issue on his site - HE EDITS YOUR POSTS SO THAT YOU'RE CASE IS TOTALLY MISREPRESENTED!

Top wank stain in my view.

COME ON BACK DON, I'M A HUNGRY AND COULD DO WITH TEARING YOU TO PIECES AGAIN FOR A LAUGH.

Lets once again see how you fair in a battle of wits, you sad, cowardly, paranoid, inhuman little nerd.

HAW HAW HAW!

But, in all seriousness, know this. There are excellent reality based people out there. They just get given a bad name by crazies like this.

What did you say about neanderthals? Neanderthals actualy had larger brains than homo sapians. And I dont think there is any evidence for them being more violent (which is what you were suggesting), in fact its homo sapians that are the bad guys, they were the ones who wiped the neanderthals out! and look at all the harm theyve caused since then. There wouldnt have been a neanderthal hitler.

[Thai Bri]

Good point - well made. I would congratulate you on being a prime example of a neanderthal, as evidenced by your post.......

[kengar]

Well, I really am not too bothered by your post. It is a bit humorous, so I won't knock that, though it is a bit exaggerated as well. Some times it does seem a bit dictated, but on other occassions they just don't want to put up with people's BS.

For the majority of people they don't have delusions of being attacked by the Hells Angels or being caught in the middle of a prison riot. And there are a couple who are , well.....I'll just leave it at that. But I haven't seen anyone recommending going out and ripping people apart for no reason. There are several, as well as myself, who are quick to point out certain situations that aren't actually a 'self defense situation' that are brought up on the forum.

There are definitely some good people there, and with any group you'll have a few who are more extreme then others.

Funny, a member here went on that forum spewing BS and had his a$$ handed to him. Stated that nobody has the right to carry a weapon, but then suggested using deceit to carry a bat in your car, which would be illegal in many states. To make a long story short, he tucked his tail and back peddled that whole time. And that is just pathetic.

I know I was just forced into your fan club yesterday and now arguing against you, but that's just the way I am.

Also, at Selfdefenseforums the Women's Self Defense area doesn't resemble a kindergarten playground. They actuall try to make it a usefull tool for women who'd like to find good information that may help them.

Id take that as a compliment but alas it is not so, Im too tall to be a neanderthal. They were short but very tough. Perfectly adapted to the cold climate in which they lived, Im quite surprised they became extinct.

...........................you don't get out much, do you?

Ken - I think its a difficult issue whether or not someone got their ass handed to them onthat forum. Who was it by the way?

But I know from experience that they change your posts, then prevent you from posting, and then argue their case against you when you are quite clearly no longer allowed to argue back.

Hardly the tactics of people secure in their opinions.

Let Rearic know I'm after a little chat with him. I guarantee that he will try to claim the moral high ground and refuse to come over, because he knows he can't win an argument without the ability to control what his opponent actually says.

Nowadays it is incredibly hard to find a good "reality" system. I have taken tons Senshido, Defendo, Systema, and have found mma arts more effective. But most sf arts are just something you learn quickly and not really dedicate yourself too. But check out Bas Ruttens lethal streetfighting.

[CKD]

You thought that defendo was a comprehensive system...

No the post said that the reality arts are not very good, which means not "comprehensive"

[Rashid]

Not comprehensive?

That's the first time I hear about someone who has either been exposed to or trained in senshido claim it wasn't comprehensive. Not flaming you at all as you are entitled to your opinion but it is the very first time I hear a negative comment made about them from someone who was actually exposed to their materials (I know there's much shit being said about senshido but it is from morons on the bullshido forum who have never even seen a tape or anything else from them and formed an opinion based on nothing but the web site). Was it tapes or a seminar you attended? I'm just curious as to what about senshido you found not comprehensive?

[krys]

owadays it is incredibly hard to find a good "reality" system. I have taken tons Senshido, Defendo, Systema, and have found mma arts more effective.

To CKD....
Just curious what were the flaws you saw in systema? Did you train with a serious instructor? I heard that some russian martial arts peoples are out for the money now and would give a certificate to nearly anybody but what I learned seems to be quite usefull.....

[Rashid]

funny

I think we're all replying way to fast LOL i was replying to CKD in terms of having senshido on his list of not comprehensive reality systems. Just curious as to why as it is the first I hear of a negative comment made on them by someone who was exposed to their materials.

[MrPoopy]

Bri, do people in the UK have the right to bear arms?

[ryanhall]

Hey, guys. I was banned from SDF last week for suggesting that going around armed to the teeth might be a little unreasonable, and a result of a lack of confidence in one's self.

Check out the threads if you want a good laugh. I think I was being pretty reasonable, right up until the point where I told Don Rearic that he could go and practice his alternative lifestyle with his buddy, Ken Cook.

'Ryan Hall doing what he does best, trolling for attention'

I'd like to point out that I didn't name that second thread. My post was originally part of the first thread, but they moved it so they could devote an entire thread to making fun of me. Sad...

And I didn't decide not to use the name RHall after being banned the first time--I sent the password for that account to the wrong e-mail address, so I had to make another name. Anyway, that forum is a sad place that is mostly inhabited by weapon-obsessed morons who would sooner stab or shoot someone than be bumped into by another pedestrian.

Also, only now do I appreciate the fun that Kevin Green must have trolling and re-trolling this site. If any of you ever have the extra time on your hands, I highly recommend that you give internet forum trolling a try--just don't do it here.
