We like to be martial artist in the world of self defense

Although my years of being able to walk on water are long gone . LOL This video shows what it really is in the dojo. I was lucky to study in the States and in Thailand and Japan about the self defense of ones needs. What I walked away with is grabbling techniques that include chocking and the 3 strikes to kill a person is basically all we need to know.

Agreed, grappling and ground fight is important in street fights, where self defense mostly happens. Threat assessment is important too. IDK what the guy in the thumbnail is expecting. He seems to take a sturdy stance against someone looking very dynamic. A good self defense is based on reading the opponent also.

He will stand no chance I feel if he isn't super fast also there is a car lane behind him, what about that. Complete open in the front, he catches a punch to the center before he can even flinch his arms for a block. Looks so faked.

Disagreement from my side about only needing grappling techniques and those ominous 3 strikes. The belaughed nerve points got me out of a headlock (with his hands in my neck) and bought me enough time to hook him on my back and roll him off to the side.

Nothing of it was like I trained for, mostly because I let off control of the situation when I underestimated and wasn't ready to go all in, lost me the upper hand.

Underestimated the readyness for violence, not the fighting power.

There is this one "parrot" constantly shouting and or stating "There is no self" like the Zen finger pointing at the moon...

So annoying is he
