What about when someone punches you in the face at a bar?

I currently am a Blue Advanced belt in Tae Kwon Do and recently started Brazilian Jujitsu (great fun btw)

I'm a 2nd Degree Recommended Black Belt in Taekwondo.

I'd carry a gun into a bar but knowing my luck I'd do something dumb to let it be known I do and then I become a Felon and lose my right to ever own a gun.

I just leave mine in my cars glove box.

My brother knows Judo, and I am his at-home practice dumby, so I know a little bit about judo.... basically, just the throw, don't know if that counts.

I've got Chuck on speed dial.

As fast as he moves he can be in China and in less time than it takes to change tv channel he is at my door if I need him.

I used to do Karate. I just got bored and quit.

I think experience speaks louder then showing off belts that you get for learning a combo in a class. Besides, real fights are nothing like they are in classes and in the movies. Its chaotic at best.

Yeah, this. Subtract the amount of teeth you lost from the number of teeth the other bloke lost. If the result is a positive number you win.

It's true. Out of all the discipline's I've studied, MAC was the most useful. For all the fancy kicks and strikes you can learn in Karate and Tae Kwon Do, most fights devolve into the combatants rolling around on the ground. Of course, some of the standing moves can be helpful for ensuring you've got an advantage when you get down there.

Yea I think ground moves and holds and the like would be a more practical fighting style for that very reason. In a real life fight you end up getting right in each others faces and toss each other around. Fighting styles that are meant for being elbows or closer, is the ones that will be useful. Unless your like my older brother. He is literally a giant, and strong as an ox. So getting in close with him is just not a smart idea most the time. He can literally throw me about 5 feet or so, look at my avatar, and you can tell Im not a small guy. I think a punch to the balls is the only way to deal with people like that.... OR my personal martial art of course

That's not necesarily true. It certainly can be, especially to people that haven't had much training or none at all. However once you start getting up to the multiple years worth of training then I would like to see an untrained person actually get close to someone who has acheived 4th DAN or higher in Tae Kwon Doe. FYI 4th DAN is 4th degree Black Belt, and = 7 years minimum of training.

Sometimes all it takes is knowing how to grapple, and I know guys that can grab hold of your wrist, and bend it in such a way to make you cry like a baby. Then again they can also take you down before you even get close to them too.

Kyokushin karate and fencing

Yea, comparing one average person, with no experience to someone that has been highly trained, yes what I was talking about wouldnt work. Im talking about the masses. MOST people have no idea at all how to handle themselves in a tussle. But I also know a few people (my oldest brother included....not the giant one) that practically cant be touched in a fight, even against people that know how to. My oldest brother is just a killing machine on crack lol. It depends on the person I guess

I have a Black-strap in Hap Ki Do. In lehmans terms, I'm basically a half-step away from my black belt.

Here's a question for everyone: How old were you when you started Martial Arts?

I was already 19 before I started (5 years ago...) and looking back I wish I'd started MUCH earlier. I see some of the kids at my school who are about 13 and you can tell that when they hit 20, they'll be scary stuff.

Taurus Judge chambered with .45 long Colt @ home, .410 for CnC.

Remington 10ga.

Until you close to within grappling range you are outmatched. From 2-3 yards away I'll cut you in half with the Remington and even if you survive you sure as gak won't feel like kicking me or punching me. Your hands would be busy holding your intestines in place.

.45 not as messy though so cleaning up blood would be easier. It'd pool more and not splatter as much.

So yeah.

So you're making martial art out of martial artists?

Ok, ninja or not they all go down with pepper spray and a well placed kick in the jewels. If all else fails I have found that a 45 hollow point will do the trick for me against some idiot that wanted to Kung-Fu fight me when I was a cop.

So I guess that I am master at Cha-Chink!


But this is the total win in this thread:

.22 Long rifle, 4x Scope. You're dead before you even think somethings happening, and I'm gone before your body hits the pavement.

Granted, I need to make a kill shot with the first round, but I'm pretty confident in my abilities.

Tis great if you don't ever plan to break into my home or anticipate me coming.

We want to get technical I have a scoped .308 as well but it's not my home defense gun of choice...to large and unwieldy.

Yeah, better get a kill shot with a .22, which won't be easy.

Nope a .45 with a shot gun home defense rounds. Yes it tears up the rifling of the barrel but when someone gets hit with semi-automatic buck shot rounds from a pistol then go all Jackie Chan you want your still a outline on my floor.

I love the guy that spent 30 seconds discribing how he was black belt in this and that in my jail and how he was going to kick all our butts and walk out of the jail. No, he was not drunk or high. Without saying a word I just pepper sprayed him in the face and he hit the floor crying like a .

He walked out of the county jail three months later with a Class C Felony for threatening a LEO on his record and his orginal charge of Passing a Bad Check under $250. All those that think that they are H2H bad asses there is always someone out there that will give you a new hole you didn't have a second before. Go to gang territory and spout that crap and you will be bleeding in a gutter for your troubles.

Martial Arts, getting people in shape and dead since the invention of gun poweder. Keep it yourselves people.

Martial arts are excellent for exercise.

.308? Wuss. Rocket Propelled Chainsaw FTW!

Could you imagine the movie Home Alone if he had used a Rocket Propelled Chainsaw instead of frying pans and tacks.
