Street Fighting Moves
Saturday, August 30th, 2008It is of utmost importance that everyone know how to defend themselves. Street fighting moves are one of the most effective forms of non-lethal self defense readily available to anyone willing to learn them. To be completely honest, street fighting moves are not hard to learn. They’re not highly protected secrets passed down from the ancients. What they ARE – are brutal techniques that have been used to seriously harm attackers and defend those who only wanted to mind there own business. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that they have not been used by the bad guys either because anyone can learn them. In fact, quite a few of the techniques have actually been developed BY the bad guy. All we do is take these brutal tactics and use them for our own good!
Violent crime is everywhere – even in small towns. Our children are being harassed and attacked in school, and we can’t even walk into a store without being accosted by an aggressive panhandler. But we no longer have to live in fear because technology has given us some pretty impressive self defense techniques and weapons. We have available to us a miriad of tools and personal defense weapons. But what do we do when we find oureselves in a situation without our taser, stungun, or pepper spray? I’ll tell you – we let that training kick in and let our instincts guide us while we release some of those street fighting moves onto our attacker. We surprise him (or her) with one of those swift kicks or blows, and as he recovers from both shock and pain – WE RUN!!! Street fighting moves are not learned to destroy or kill, they’re learned to acquire us enough time to flee to safety or make enough noise for someone to come to our aid.
It’s very important to understand that this these self defense moves are not very hard to learn. There are hundreds of training manuals, ebooks, videos, and dvds – although not all of them are of an optimal quality. It is important that we look at the source as well as the product itself if we are to purchase an instructional fighting course that will be effective. Effectiveness is the most important quality that a training regimen may have – we’re learning this stuff not to show off to our friends, but to be ready if we are ever presented with a situation where an individual wished to do us harm!
Street fighting moves are not only an excellent mode of self defense, but also a great way to shed a few pounds. My hope is that we never have to use them on anyone, but if we don’t, the increased endurance, stamina, and health benefits will have been well worth it!
