How to Win a Fight...Blog Style?
OK, I saw this link about really winning a fight, more as a rebuttal to weak artivles in Men's Magazines and as I read it and laughed, I realized I know this information and have learned the lessons kind of painfully. I’ve never been in real fight (ie no pads, with malice of forethought), but I did do Krav Maga for almost a year and that involved voluntarily (and with aid of some padding for certain drills) getting may ass kicked for fitness and of course safety. I agree with one of the comments, which is it is a bit misguided/macho to think via pictures and half-assed advice you can teach someone to punch/fight is a bit off. There also the no kicking advice that is totally for crap. I learned some pretty brutal/effective kicks, and let’s face it, kicking in the right place is the primary defense taught to women everywhere. I get the sense the no kicking is more because guys want to be Bruce Lee and a lot of guys have the no kicking in the balls rule of fighting. I’m still a fan of avoidance and non-violence, but at least I have some external affirmation that in a pinch, I could save my own ass. I still hope I never have to prove it...
