Self-defense

Defend University has a great post on protecting yourself from date rape drugs. They are odorless, tasteless and they are intended to incapacitate you while producing enough amnesia that you’ll never remember him attacking you. They are called “date rape drugs” and can be put into drinks or food. And they can kill you. Before you think this can never happen to you, read about this real case of one of our friends being date rape drugged. Leslie in this story still does not know... This is a summary.

How do you push yourself in training? What are you training for? Fitness, self-defense, the ring, the Octagon? In all of these cases interval training is key to being able to fight or compete. I remember reading something to the effect that, you may be a world champion, but if you’re tired enough, your abilities decrease to the point where almost anyone can defeat you. Not such a big deal in the gym or dojo, but in competition? How about in a real fight for your life? That’s where... This is a summary. Please click the title link to read the rest!

Firstly I’d like to thanks Tony Myers for taking the time out to come to Singdayt to give one of his Muay Thai Scoring lectures and Coach Damon Faulkner for inviting Tony down.  For those of you who aren’t aware of Tony.  He’s probably one of the best if not the best muay thai judges [...] The post Tony Myers Scoring Commentary appeared first on My Muay Thai.

In some good advice, the SGT Says: Shoot Back. I taught the same to my students. In all aspects, and all ranges, NO ONE can survive a battle on defense. "Turtling" is a sport tactic in Judo and BJJ which doesn'lt work in MMA because you just get beaten down. In standup, "covering up" is a temporary survival tactic which really doesn't work. In a real, unarmed attack, the same is true, but the stakes are higher - fight back! All information and posts are subject to our Terms of Use. Please read... This is a summary.
