7 Really Good Reasons You Need to Learn to Use the Kubotan Self-Defense Keychain

By fight good on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 | No Comments

Ironically, in a world filled with terrorism, assault, rape, and murder, I have to write an article giving people reasons why they should be learning self-defense or the Kubotan personal-protection weapon. But then, if I didn’t, who would?

I hear questions concerning which techniques are best and what weapon should I be training with if I’m concerned about XYZ? If you have questions like these, perhaps this article can help.

Since this article focuses on the self-defense weapon most commonly known as the Kubotan, my answers will be along those line. So, just in case you’ve ever asked questions like…

“Which self-defense weapon is best for the beginner or untrained person?”

“Why should I learn to use the Kubotan self-defense keychain?” Or…

“What’s so special about the Kubotan?”

Here are some of the answers I came up with off the top of my head:

1. It’s one of the easiest weapons to learn and use.

If you’re concerned about self-protection, you don’t have the luxery of time on your side. Where a student seeking to learn a martial art for confidence-building, discipline, or for purely asthetic reasons can take all the time he or she needs, you need to find techniques and, in this case, weapons that can be picked up and mastered in the quickest time possible.

2. Short of picking up a rock or a stick, it’s one of the cheapest weapons to buy or make.

Cost is another factor for many people. Of course, if you can afford it and they’re legal where you live, nothing beats a handgun for making sure you have the advantage in a self-defense situation, regardless of what anybody says. But, for many, expense, age, and restrictive laws make this a problem. So, the easiest thing to do is find something that will work for you without a lot of expense in time, money, or effort.

3. It instantly gives a smaller defender a serious advantage over a larger, stronger assailant.

Nothing brings a larger assailant to his knees (not to mention tears) like a well-placed piece of metal. When used properly agains the many weak points and sensitive areas of the human body, the Kubotan is right up there as a formidable weapon, especially for the smaller defender.

4. It’s easily concealable, allowing it seemingly come out of “nowhere” to surprise and confuse the attacker.

You don’t always want to be obvious in a self-defense situation. It makes it too easy for the attacker to prevent you from carrying out your way-cool move. The small, easily-concealable Kubotan can slip into spaces and damage areas of the assailant’s body that he can’t see or protect until it’s too late.

5. It’s legal to carry in most areas.

From a purely practical standpoint, legality should be the last thing you’re worried about when it comes to defending yourself. After all, is the criminal acting in a legal and responsible way when he or she attacks you? But… If this is a concern, the generally acceptable nature of the Kubotan makes it a great choice as a personal protection weapon.

6. If it’s not legal where you live, it’s easily substituted by a wide array of every day items that are the same shape and/or size.

Just because the law says that you can own, carry, or use a certain type of weapon, doesn’t mean that you can find plenty of legal items in everyday use that make perfect substitutes. Learn to think outside the box and don’t let something as simple as a “prohibited weapon list” prevent you from learning a valuable skill.

7. It would be stupid not to.

Of course, this also means that not learning to defend yourself in general is, not only stupid, also not very responsible as an adult who should be able to handle their own problems and take care of themselves in this big, bad world.

In a self-defense situation, assailants typically brandish a weapon, not to use it, but to gain an advantage by merely showing it. Having even a simple weapon, like the Kubotan, evens the odds and can even tip them in your favor.

So, the next time you’re wondering whether or not you should consider adding the simple-looking, yet amazingly powerful Kubotan self-defense keychain to your self-defense arsenal…

…the answer is a resounding, “Yes!”

What Would You Do if You Were Attacked by Someone With a Knife? – Learn Army Self-defense Training

By fight good on Friday, November 20th, 2009 | No Comments

We live in very dangerous times and it’s not just here in Australia, there is a worldwide epidemic of unprovoked violence by bullies and cowards. You only have to watch the news or read the papers to be told about assaults and murders throughout the world and usually for no reason. The victim or victims are usually at the wrong place at the wrong time and do not how to defend and protect themselves against an assailant or assailants. It can happen anywhere; whether we are at home, at the mall, or even on the way to taking our children to school. Most of us, used to think that it “will never happen to me”, however, 9/11 changed the thinking of many people around the world.

Self defense is the best form of protecting yourself from untimely criminal assault. In order to sustain in this world where survival of fittest is the proven theory you have to learn self defense tips. You must learn self defense moves because are extremely helpful in street fighting. As a matter of fact both street fighting and self defense are interchangeable terms. Earlier self defense consisted of skilled marital arts people who were the black belts. But when these people started getting brutally injured in the street fights, a new scenario emerged.

This scenario brought into the limelight a term – street fighting. If you want to learn self defense moves you don’t have to look towards the traditional marital arts schools now. Loads of tips can be found on the internet and local magazines. One of the most common questions inquired by many people is how to conduct street fighting? It is not essential that in the process we have injured our opponent badly; but it is essential that we have defended ourselves in a great way.

To learn self defense tips you must have the agility factor. You have to be flexible and fit. A few tips include using your head. The human skull is a powerful weapon and can be used to smash the nose of the assailant. When you learn self defense moves you will be taught to use the motion of your palms against the nose of the attacker. But your head can be twice more dangerous than your palms. This is a great weapon that can be used by ladies. When the assailant tries to grab you from behind you can bang your head in his face rather than putting your foot on his leg or kicking him, thereby annoying him further in the process.

Any attack with the skull on the collarbone or face is serious enough to inflict injuries on the attacker. When you learn self defense tips you will also be told to use the pepper spray liberally on your attackers. This is one of the most lethal sprays in case of bear defense. Some of the offenders are too scared and won’t create much harm. If you spot these, chances are that they will attack you. Even you can attack them back and ground them with all possible techniques.

A smart man will do whatever possible to evade a street fight. He will either shout loudly or run for safety. These moves can be practiced when you are alone and think that help is far. In such cases look for weapons that are handy. You must always carry a tool that can be easily used as a weapon. It can be a pen, pin or an umbrella. Anything can be turned into a weapon if you think fast.

Who Else Wants To Learn Extreme Martial Arts?

By fight good on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 | No Comments

With the recent surge in popularity of UFC fighting, many people are curious about learning extreme martial arts. This type of self defense is a combination of many martial arts styles using a combination of philosophies, movements, methods and techniques.

It is also combined with gymnastics and acrobatics. Extreme martial arts is usually what is seen on TV in the UFC ring, movies and on the web.

Those who are involved with the sport of extreme martial arts believe that utilizing a combination of the skills that students learn in seld defense classes can have students reaching goals once thought impossible. Not only that by focusing on more than one type of martial art encourages students to become better then was thought possible.

The goal of XMA is to show as much strength of the mind as the body. If you can stand with your feet planted firmly on the ground and command the attention of others without using movement, or sound you could be able to fend off attackers by fear alone. The intense eyes of a extreme martial art expert would be enough to scare a normal person without even having to throw a punch or a kick.

Where You Can Find More Information on XMA

With the popularity of XMA growing everyday, it is easier than ever to find classes that will teach you how to successfully begin to practice this art. It is thought that those who practice extreme martial arts have more flexibility, strength, and a higher degree of coordination than those who only practice one type of self-defense.

This form of martial art appeals to not only kids and teens, but young adults as well. It is also a more exciting and visually appealing form of self defense that can be enjoyed by many members of your family. It is a great way to get healthy and fit, physically and mentally.

You can look in your local yellow pages to see if you can find an extreme martial arts studio near you. If this doesn’t offer you any suggestions, you might try searching on the internet. The internet will be able to give you much information regarding techniques, philosophies and where you can find an extreme martial arts class in your area.

Those who are pure martial arts practitioners frown upon XMA because it lacks applications that can be used in the real world. However, in my opinion most martial arts and self defense moves are useless in the real world. Most self-defense classes should be intended for physical and mental well-being.

Most martial arts techniques take years to master and are too difficult to remember in a spur of the moment street attack. 90% of self-defense experts actually freeze in fear during an actual attack due to the brute and violent force of their attacker.

To defend yourself against violent street criminals, such as an armed 300 pound skinhead ripped on crystal meth you need serious defense techniques, like that they train the military’s special forces with.

Self-defense classes are great for kids and your fitness, but as Madison Greene knows first hand, those techniques are no match for a viscous street criminal who is intent on robbing, raping, or murdering you.

We Can Learn Much From Martial Arts

By fight good on Monday, October 19th, 2009 | No Comments

Martial arts are a unique part of the Chinese cultural heritage with time-honored history. They symbolize the Chinese culture and spirit from one aspect. Martial arts have been developed for self-defense and health-keeping throughout human history. Nowadays, more and more people are practicing martial arts because of the benefits.

Martial arts training can improve the physical and mental fitness. Through martial arts training, the players’ muscle works to form a healthy well-functioned body. And there are moves of punching and kicking which can strengthen the arms, shoulders and legs. Through martial arts training, the practitioners also can improve their mental fitness, which is as important as physical fitness. The state of peace is required in the training. People with this mentality usually have the optimistic personality, which play a vital role in one’s life and career. In addition, in martial arts training, one has to endure the hardship due to the restrict regime of the martial arts, which can shape the spirit of enduring the hardship.

In the martial arts practice, sometimes, the players have to retreat one step to be well-controlled and get advantageous position. This is accordance with one of Chinese famous saying which goes like this: Tolerance makes space. This kind of mentality is good for the solidarity of all people and helpful for the establishment of harmonious society.

Chinese martial arts put emphasis on the relationship between the body and the mind.

These training principles are good for the players’ flexibility, which is necessary in daily life and career. They can change their ways or principles to deal with different situations.

The martial arts practices break all prejudices with regard to winning and losing and to successes and failures, so the players can take a calm attitude to the result.

With this kind of attitude, people will not to be conceited by success or discouraged by failure. These people are more likely to succeed.

In training, the players have to care about the moves and force , but more important, they should take a great care about their own temperament and mind , with a martial arts spirit transcending mere technique.

I’ve talked pretty badly about the mixed martial arts (MMA) as a form of self-defense in the past, but always promised to talk about its good points someday. This time I’m going to discuss the technical problems inherent in learning a martial “sport” and trying to adapt it for use in real combat, but I’ll also show you what we CAN learn from modern MMA.

In the beginning, there was Vale Tudo in Brazil and Cage Fighting in Russia. The only rules were “no biting or eye gouging.” That was almost the real deal, but even then I told people that one of the best techniques for getting out of chokes, neck cranks and many holds on the ground had to do with the proper use of pressure against the eyes of your opponent. But still, it was “almost” the real deal, technically-speaking.

Then came big business. They tried (especially in the USA) to gain acceptance from the commissioning authorities in order to be allowed to be shown on cable TV, which necessitated increasing the rules and number of “prohibited techniques.” The end result was that modern-day “No Holds Barred” fighting has barred so many holds that the modern sport of mixed martial arts has almost nothing to do with a real street fight, much less with the sort of battlefield combat that a soldier or LE guy will have to face.

But modern NHB can help you survive a violent encounter!

How?

Simple—just do what they aren’t allowed to do. Specialize in it.

Eye gouges are illegal? Then you know what to do when attacked!

No striking the throat or the cervical spine region of the neck (just under the back of the head)?

Now you know where to hit an opponent trying to take your life!

No kicking an opponent on the ground in the head? That’s the only time anyone will see me kicking someone in the head!

“Small joint manipulation,” aka bending and twisting the fingers is illegal because they are small and fragile and can easily be broken, even accidentally. If you have to control someone’s arms without seriously hurting him, that’s a very good alternative to a standard armbar!

No stomping kicks to the knee joint–those techniques end fighters careers, while Muai Thai low kicks just result in bruises and cramps. Threaten my life and see which kick I use!

No headbutts, elbows, groin strikes, . . .

Learn those “dangerous, illegal techniques”–they can and will save your life on the street!

Learn How to Fight in Order to Protect Your Self in Street Brawls

By fight good on Saturday, September 12th, 2009 | No Comments

When you find yourself in a situation which leads to street fighting, how will you protect yourself? The only solution to this problem is to learn how to fight street brawls. You must master some self defense moves so that you don’t land up in the emergency wards of the hospitals. There are many types of people who simply want to provoke you. There only intention is to draw you into fighting so as to have fun. Try to assess the situation and do not react on an impulse.

However, the situation differs when someone actually harms you by hitting you or by threatening you. This is an alarming situation and you have to become alert. Look for objects around you that can be used as weapons. Any piece of furniture, crockery or small items like a safety pin can become your weapon. In self defense moves it is important that you think fast. Your thinking has to be faster than your assailant so that you strike before he can even think of. In case you are outnumbered, it is a wise idea to seek for a place from where you can escape.

When you learn how to fight then you are taught some self defense moves. However, sometimes you have to unlearn all that in a real situation. Basically, you must try to disseminate a situation as much as possible. It is better to talk to your attacker before starting physical movements. Most of the time talking diffuses the situation as there is a vent to the negative emotions. You can even apologize if you have committed a mistake. It is not right to get your ego in between such crucial matters. Even if your mistake is small, apologize, because your target is to avoid fighting.

Sometimes the attackers are so engrossed in their world that they want to harm you. Therefore try to back away. Even then if your attacker doesn’t allow you to escape, take a position to fight. In the schools where you learn how to fight, they will teach you a mixture of marital arts and a few logical aspects. A good combination would be to learn self defense moves from various countries. This kind of training will make you more flexible and adaptable to different street fighting situations.

Apart from self defense moves these schools talk about the psychology of the criminals and emphasize on augmenting your fitness level. On the internet you will find many people who question the relevance of marital arts in the street fighting brawls. The marital art is skill where you learn self defense moves. The marital arts are designed in a way that you are able to defend yourself fully and ably. The training of marital arts is what matters the most. If your teacher emphasizes only on theory and rehearsal drills, then in actual street fighting situations you will suffer.

You have to integrate the element of pain and fear during the real time situations. Thus when you learn how to fight ensure that the course or the book you are reading covers various aspects of a real-time fight.

Do you want to learn how to fight? The self defense moves in my e-book are effective and complete and cover all aspects of street fighting.
