Pappa Bear Posted April 9, 2014 Share Rules for self defence:1) Avoid dodgy areas2) Avoid dodgy situations3) Run / Escape should always be the first option4) Submit if you can determine that you will not be harmed5) Fight as the last option, and to be effective at defending yourself you need lots and lots of hours of training on a continuous bases to create confidence and effective "techniques". Point 5 is the one that most defence practisioners think they can master with a couple of lessons....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappa Bear Posted April 9, 2014 Share Wanted to add that Krav Maga is a very effective defense style that has grown out of actual combat requirements and is probably one of the best defense styles out there. Just want people to realize that what is shown, takes lots of training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted April 10, 2014 Share Seem to be quite a lot of sites offering Krav Maga classes - or TKM I saw was one. Anyone got actual experience from one or more of the schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian46 Posted April 10, 2014 Share KravMAga is a great for close quarters...but in "self defense"...unless you really no what your doing...you want to keep distance between yourself and the attacker. Awareness will always be your biggest weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonky Posted April 10, 2014 Share The problem with all self-defense / hand-to-hand training is that your friendly local attacker / rapist / bike-jacker is usually armed with a knife or, more likely, a gun. In addition, he usually has an accomplice or two (all with nefarious intent). My view is that no possession is worth a life or a life-threatening injury. Give the b@stards whatever they want and live to ride another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Potgieter Posted April 10, 2014 Share Hmmmm....a lot of opinions. How many of you base your opinion on training. And how many are based on thought alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Potgieter Posted April 10, 2014 Share The point I am making is that the training teaches you first of all, when to retaliate and when to flee or succumb. Education is power. Then...if you choose to fight...how best to do that. Gun to the back...no probs My wife has done extensive weapons training as well as rape and hijack prevention. Wouldnt you feel better knowing your family is prepared and educated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCD Posted April 10, 2014 Share Attended a JuJutsu (Loosely similar to KM) workshop a few years back where we tested gun disarming techniques with a real (empty) gun and a determined attacker. Bottom line was that most guys were "dead" or had a gun discharged right next to the head/ear. And there were a number of really fast guys. Conclusion for us then: if there is a gun involved rather don't take a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Never ride alone, We pack heat whilst riding. Always in the RED zone for alertness. SAPS SWAT training might come in handy, But rule nr.1 is to avoid doggy areas and conflict. Get a good insurance company, you can always replace your bike.
