MARTIAL MYTHS:

What Works, What Doesn't in Self-defense

MYTH: "Eye jabs and groin kicks don't do anything...and won't stop me!"
(And watch at 4:29 and 7:55 to see if ground kicking works...imagine if he had steel-toed boots on!)


 
The UFC has RULES to protect the lives and careers of its competitors. Self-defense doesn't. To those of you who think you can withstand an eye gouge, groin crush, etc: most of these were accidents--and they STILL incapacitated their victims, even though these were professional athletes and the fights were STOPPED by officials. Imagine if illegal moves were done NON-STOP with FULL INTENSITY and RUTHLESS INTENT. That's just ONE of the differences between Sport fighting and real self-defense. UFC Rules 1-18 define illegal moves--that we train all the time...and their counters.

More Martial Arts Myths About Self-defense...

7. "On the battlefield or on the street, grappling is the best method of defending yourself." See: "Teaching Our Soldiers to Die" and "The Myth of Grappling Supremacy" 8. "Assaults happen the way we practice in the dojo." All violence is unchoreographed chaos and no two attacks are the same. Read "Ugly Truths About Self Defense" 9. "Self-defense is about 'winning'." If you have to fight to save your life, "winning" is a sportive mindset that can set you up for disaster. See: "Getting Your Mind Right" Part 1 "Getting Your Mind Right" Part 2 "Getting Your Mind Right" Part 3 "Anything Less and You Will Die" 10. "Our military uses the most effective method of self-defense available." See #6. above. 11. "A woman can defeat a rapist with arm locks, flips, submission holds or flying side kicks." See videos above and read "Women's Self-defense" 12. "Practicing self-defense techniques over and over will protect you from random violence." See "10 Truths About Real Violence" and scroll down the page 13. "Defending your honor is your top priority." Fighting to defend your "honor" from verbal assault makes you a criminal in the eye's of the law. If you are not  a cop, a soldier or a security professional and you get into a fight for any reason other than to defend your life or a loved one's from imminent danger when you could have walked or run away, YOU are the problem (and may be subject to incarceration--possibly for life). 14. "Pepper spray will stop an attacker in their tracks." Former forensic crime scene expert and NY detective John Perkins corroborates scores of reports where certain criminals practically ingested pepper spray and kept on fighting. 15. "I'm safe because I carry a handgun." A gun is useless if you can't get it out. A person can train for years firing at static targets, get high scores, and still not be ready to defend him or herself with a handgun. Over 90 percent of gunfights occur within 21 feet. More than half of these occur within 5 feet. Most people, when put to the test, can't even get their guns out in time to defend against a person rushing them from across a large room. You must also know hand-to-hand combat. See Guns
