Too Thin to Throw a Punch?

I always love advice like this. When you're actually in the situation unless you're well trained you're going to either run or freeze in most cases. If you don't develop the will to fight you lose it when you need it.

That, and my father used to study Karate and Judo and he taught me, that if you hit any of the pressure points to weaken someone, especially if someone was attacking me, like the chin bone, the ankle, the knee, the sternum and neck, I could weaken his position.

Well, it wasn't advice. He was actually trying to show me, but you're right, if you don't keep at it, it won't work. I've been attacked and only thing that came to mind were my own instincts. I was just adding to what can be done to attack a man when you're a woman or anyone for that matter.
 
You just reminded me of a time when I was actually by your neck of the woods at Queensboro Community College and got into it with some puerto rican dudes for talking to one of their chicks. 6 years of karate and the first thing that came to mind was everything I learned in track raise those knees and pump those arms lol. The only thing that kept me there was my friends because I don't care if you're from the projects or the suburbs you run from a fight you get no love.

LOL!

I hear you....

Back in the day, I was walking down the street and this dude on a bike rode past me and grabbed my ass. I went to hit him and like you mentioned earlier, I froze. I couldn't believe what just happened. I couldn't get my hands to hit him. I was so mad, cause he needed to be smacked the shit out of.

Could just hit a dude in the balls. Pretty much take anyone down.

If you don't hit him in the balls hard enough to take him down or if he has on a cup that shields his balls from getting hurt like some athletes ware, that will just make him madder. He is going to look at you as a dirty fighter and will be out for blood then.

Like I said, there are some guys who has a larger tolerance for pain than most. All the rules that you thought applies to everyone goes out the window.

There have been MMA fights were guys have done just that, get the guy on the ground and constantly hit him on the penis. The guy on the ground gets up and WINS the fight.

There has been MMA and UFC fights were this has happened.

That's dirty. The only situations were it may be necessary is if you a female or, your life is in danger.

You should NEVER rely on that theory that one punch in the right area will knock a man out. I don't know if you played any contact sports but there are many guys whose tolerance to take punishment is a lot higher than most.

In boxing, for example, there are guys who have what is called a "weak chin" or a "glass jaw". You hit them in a certain spot, they will go down. But you also have guys like MIKE TYSON, no matter where you hit him, he keeps coming. You soon realize he is your worst NIGHTMARE come true. All rules you thought applied to everyone is out the window. The only way to beat them is to out think them.

GEORGE FOREMAN was the same way. Muhammed Ali wrote in his autobiography that he was the real life BOOGIE MAN. In their fight in 1974, The Thriller in Manilla, he wrote how he threw everything he could at George in the early rounds but he kept coming at him, HARD. He hit him everywhere, it didn't matter.

So Ali started covering up and leaning back on the ropes, hoping George would wear himself out. He would make comments to George to get him mad so he would swing on him, "You hit like my mother" or "that didn't hurt punk, you can do better than that". This went on for 8 rounds, people even started booing Ali because it seemed like he was scared to fight George. Finally, in round 8, George had tried himself out from swinging on Ali. Ali hit him once and he went down for the count.

Marvalous Marvin Hagler, Aaron Pryor, etc. a female will not beat those guys, only another man could. You are not going to beat those kind of men with a lucky punch. There are many men out there who are like that, can take whatever you throw at them and keep coming.

Your absolute WORST NIGHTMARE standing in front of you.

What? You comparing boxing which has rules and regulation to actual self defense where anything goes? In boxing, you aren't allowed to say, kick a guy in the balls, or give a palm thrust to the throat, hell you can't even kick, in which your legs and knees are MUCH stronger than your arms. You can't even compare the two. And such that's the thing, people are neutralizing fighting to merely just punching when fighting is much more than that. A lot of eastern based martial arts aren't even focus on punching but deflecting your opponents attack.

I think his point was simple self defense moves won't always work especially if you go up against a monster like Foreman or Tyson. That kick or knee to the balls bs rarely works anymore especially if a man is attacking a woman. That's what they are very cautious of since they know that's a woman will go for. I just suggest avoid bad situations and if possible run I don't care if you're a man or woman because fuckers are crazy and are carrying guns these days.

That would probably be what I would have to resort too. I have tried many many different things to strengthen my wrists and arm strength and to this day I just dont have much power in the arms, so one punch from me would do no damage what so ever. :(

Thank you, my point exactly.

Some guys EXPECT you to go for the balls. This is why a lot of self defense classes teach to go for the EYES, blind them immediately. You don't even need a special spray. Some perfumes or hair spray will do the trick immediately. Go for the EYES, blind him immediately. Spray as much hair spray or perfume in his eyes as you can.

Another thing, if a guy is going to rape a woman, she should act like she is giving in and suggest to do oral sex. Once his penis is in her mouth, bite down on his penis hard and don't let go for a while. Put your arms up around your head because he may try to hit you. Bite down and bite down hard.

Hard teeth on an erect penis will truly drop ANY man, I don't care how high his tolerance for pain is, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, won't matter. Keep your jaws locked on his penis until he is flopping on the ground. He is going to be screaming but show NO mercy. You're in a fight and you want to fight to win.

This is not to say the other methods won't work but you will have many other options to work with. If you are a small woman compared to the man, you may not have the power to hurt him even if you hit him in some of his pressure points.
 
Saw Colombiana today and it was really good. The action was very believable since homegirl sunk up on everyone and shot them. Only one bs hand to hand find but for the most part bang bang.

I have to disagree with that though. Foreman or Tyson is nothing without their arms for example, take that away (which I can already think of 3 martial
arts already whose primary focus is to neutralize body parts through breaking of bones in elbows and knees) and they are done.

The thing is, our culture values, strength, size, and punching power. Notice that on television, our primarily focus is on boxing, wrestling, and MMA. While in Japan, when I was there was focus on martial arts based forms, with a key notion being neutralizing the opponent. In boxing,there is no thing as self defense. So foreman and Tyson wouldn't apply to self defense techniques, cause they only thing they had to worry about was fists coming at their direction, not a thrust to the throat, or someone grabbin their wrist while they are punching, and using their momentum to flip them over. In the end, it's nothing more than a cultural bias that we have that originated from
european countries that value strength and size over anything else.
 
like the man said...in real life, you're better off avoiding street fights as much as you can

palm strikes and seoi nages dont do well against bullets:smt095
 
Perhaps they should hire Serena Williams...Now that sh*t would be believable. Although she might look like a stripper in her costume, but it would be nice to look at.;)
