Smash you?

Who says there'll be an idiot box for them to watch?

I'm not the only one in Auckland without one? :spudwhat:

I used to be a Jitsu player a few years ago. If you want serious street cred there realy is only one martial art. That's ju jitsu. Nothing flashy with this style but once you have got hold of someone they history. Training is hard.

TOTALLY agree most martial arts are sport based and are great in a controlled
situation (tae kwon do being an example) but the problem is they are next to hopeless on the streets. Joe thug will not withdrawl his fist from your face if your block is to slow like you would in a dojo. Ju jitsu is not sport based an very relevent to a situation you might experience on the street. I spent many years working on doors for extra income and have benefited more from 3mounths ju jitsu training than 3 years karate(seido) training. and yes traing is hard and prepare to be hurt.

[Jackrat]

Ahhh who is that? :spudwhat:

Two of the scaryest fuckers you could ever hope not to run into.
Both currently doing life for murder.
The point I'm trying to get across here is that heaps of young guys think they can study/practice martial arts and it's going to help them on the street .Some people like the guys mentioned you can hit with what ever you like and they just hurt you more for it.
Doyle is the Prezz of the Head Hunters and considered by most coppers and screws as the most dangerous man in NZ.
Neither of those guys have ever had anything to do with martial arts,their just nasty bastards.Any Martial art is good if you keep it in context but if you think it's going to turn you into a hard man,forget it.Personaly as a skinny white boy I always found learning how to read situations an get the fuck out of there has saved my ass heaps of times.I mean come on who's going to face up to the average 150kg coconut,You just can't hurt the buggers.
I know I've tryed a couple of times and got flogged.
Also the guy that bottles you probably won't do it from in front of you and he sure as hell won't tell you first.The highway 61 member that stabs you while his mate distracts you won't tell you either.
Mate I've been stabbed,and bashed with a lump of 4x2, and a steel rubbish bin lid of all bloody things(remember them,very hard things)none of them gave any warning or came from in front.
Good luck with your search for a suitable martial art but keep your eyes open an know when to just leave the situation.

I dont like to back down tho I have had 12 street fights I think not many compared to a lot of people I know, but the trouble with running is your labled a coward......
I just brought a knuckel duster and a fold out batton from a friend for $80 yesterday apparently if u wack them with the batton it breaks their bone plus it can fit (just) into my jeans back pocket. Most of the fights the occour around me you get a warning its mostly talk and if no one backs down then its all on its just a male macho thing at my age......

[jazbug5]

So: when you get hit over the back of the head by one of their mates and one of your 'toys' comes flying out of your hands, what do you think they're going to do to your face with it?
Just a thought.

[texmo]

Well noe smack with that police batton breaks a bone so a hit to the head will smash my skull and cause serious brain damage and then the other guy will work on me with the knuckel duster breaking my noise and smashing a few of my teeth out.

Hmmm.

Can I make the polite suggestion that, long-term, you might have done better to cultivate acquaintances in the AD&D-playing thick-glasses genre?

You get caught munting someone up with those, matey, and you're going to have to answer a few questions about why you were carrying them around...

What are you trying to become - some sort of Mr Miagi martial arts guru or a common garden variety of street thug?

Carrying knuckledusters and expanable batons will get your arse locked up for possession of an offensive weapon. Using them on someone will get you locked up for assault with a weapon, assault with intent to injure, aggravated wounding, manslaughter, murder.

Running labels you a coward?? Standing and fighting could get you labeled DEAD! Regardless of how many fights you have had there is always someone who will take you out when you least expect it, I've seen it happen sooooo many times. You need to grow up some!

They enter a lot of different competitions, K1 is the most popular one in japan (excluding sumo) then "Pride", which is more suited to their style.

Have not seen the gracies in the K1, but I have seen hoyce Gracie in the ultimate fighting champoin vids, and that dude is nasty, I think he won the first 2 or 3 of them, and he faught against most styles around including straight up street fighters.

The cemetery is full of dudes that did not want to be labelled 'coward', I am not convinced you ain't trolling with your talk of carrying weapons but on the premise you ARE carrying these toys then best you follow spudchuckas advice, furthermore, despite the feeling of 'invincibility' the baton and knuckleduster might give I can tell you this for a fact, - I have seen an expandiible baton bent on the arm of a guy determined on creating mayhem and he did not stop, likewise with the knuckleduster, unless you surprise your 'attacker' he only has to focus on the hand with the duster in it, once he has that arm you're toast - unless you are stronger than him and know some fancy moves.

Why would you stand around waiting for a street fight, at your age you should be thinking about picking up chicks, and having your way with them, you have to get as much in as you can whilst your young. wait for the other mugs to start fighting then sneak out with one of there women.

[texmo]

Yer well thats how it all starts 2 guys 1 gal.....
BTW I only brought the knuckel duster and batton for a bit on fun.. ( I dont carry them around with me ...)

HINT:sell your toys and invest in spelling lessons, you'll be better off for it.

If you tend to get into strife at parties (1) stay sober, (2) keep your mouth shut (3) keep your hands to yourself and (4) keep the laces of your running shoes done up - and just enjoy the party.

By breaking a few of the above rules I succeeded in scarring my once handsome dial, - and a moustache can only cover so much!!

Both my front teeth have little chips out of them in the middle

but i do keep my mouth shut and hands to myself unless someone hits me...
mainly because you dont know who their friends are... btw I have dyslexia so spelling is a bit of trouble..

So which rule did you break to get hit in the first place? and yes, I too have 'lysdexia' but I guess not as bad as you - or maybe being an old fart I have got around it.
