Hi, I'm a 15 year old in high school. In my gym class, there are some kids that try to be tough and really intimidating like. I was wondering if I could get some tips on training myself, like some sort of daily routine, to fight better in case of self defense. I've had some experience since my brother used to kickbox, and I used to take tae kwon do.
sit ups if u have got small weights do them if not do push ups do some jogging skipping shadow boxing ect and eat right aswell dont worry about idiots like that there just morons ignore them bro
This thread is dangerously close to being locked.
Are there not any boxing clubs near you?
what you need to realize is that if you DO take up boxing, you will have a responsibility to use those skills wisely... Im not saying you shouldnt defend yourself, but just because you can box, you dont go round picking fights. O0Quote:

the average guy has very little athletic ability or coordination, let alone skill in combat sports.
Fighting is your last option. 99% of your problem is pyschological. Play minds games to prevent the fight, if that doesnt work... then hurt him.
its very strange you ask this question to start with as that was one of the reasons i begin my long journey in Thai boxing.
If anyone ever bothered me or acted tough, i felt i felt really angry and intimidated by everyone and felt i had to prove something.
But now I'm fit and good in martial arts, instead of making me want to hit people and being angry at them, its done the exact opposite and really calmed me down compared to what i use to be like, and when people talk about how tough they are, i just laugh to myself inside.
It worked the other way round for me - I was always getting into fights and bullying people, and I ended up being told to go to a gym to keep me from running around the neighbourhood after dark.
IN the gym, I was pretty darn surprised when little skinny guys would handle me in the ring quite easily, and in fact the weediest of the lot was a lights out puncher who regularly beat me up, and even enjoyed it.
I realised that it was pretty stupid to be picking fights with people I didn't know as one day I was going to get badly surprised by some geek, who would kick the shit out of me.
Later, when I did martial arts (for the right reason, this time) I thought exactly the same thing !!!
I KNOW WHAT UR GOING THROUGH MY FREIND I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AT SCHOOL WHEN I WAS 15Quote:

I HOPE THIS HELPS MATE....................ITS ALWAYS GOOD IF U CAN KNOCK A FEW TEETH OUT OF THEIR HEAD!! ;)
.
thats a bit extreme mate.
only ever through a punch if there gunna through one at you, hooray for sticking up for yourself but dont take it over board.
fights are best avoided if you can settle it with words do that, but if they get physical i would fight back.
so u would let someone push u?do u wait for them to hit u first before u retaliate?FUK THAT SHITE!Quote:

...but i doubt u even log on again to read this,same goes for the kid who started this thread!
only punch first when you are in fear of being punched, if they are just saying shit theres no need, however if they do throw the first punch by all means beat the shit outa themlol
if your a boxer your reflexes are sharp, some punk should'nt be quicker then a boxer :). IMO dont start things, finish em. Dont be mindless about fights i think there best avoided especialy if there a lebo or a wog or somthing, through an un nessasery punch at someone with 374 cousins that go to the same school probably is'nt a good idea lol.

Do you know where to get a gun?
Kick To The Groin
lol nice.
To the original poster. May i suggest you take up judo and also a bit of boxing that way you can mix it with these punks at any range.
If you dont fancy boxing try unarmed combatives. Preferably anything from fairburn or sykes lineage. once these fukcers have felt a pre emptive cradle strike followed by an osot gari onto hard concrete your troubles will be over.
You'll be in borstal but at least you wont have to face those bullies again ;D
I once had a Karate freind, who could kill a man with his bare feet. He got attacked by 3 yobs and they battered the shit outa him because he had his socks and shoes on
poor bastard. Just goes to show you karate is a joke. but not as much as kung fu.
Yep couldn't agree more. Karate and kung fu and all that mallarky are useless when it goes off. Judo and combatives rock ;D
do you have a black belt in judo?
that was a joke Oh bollocks
I do indeed. Got it almost 2 yeas ago now. Fingers have started to develop arthiritis now though due to them being bent backwards/dislocated/ etc....judo is also tough on the joints.Quote:

BJJ is untouchable on the ground but SHYTE at standup.Thats exactly what you do in BJJ...roll around on the deck. Judo is one of the best kept secrets in self protection. Who wants to be rolling around in the dogshit on the cold pavement on a saturday night outside a club trying to get your attacker in an armbar whilst offering your head as a football for his mates.Quote:

Throw the tosser on his back onto the concrete in a split second he isn't getting up. Then you can getaway. Just to add Judo is more than capable on the deck. The newaza practised in Judo is the ground game. It has all the chokes and locks of BJJ but BJJ have explored them further. Hell BJJ comes from Kosen Judo. However going to the ground is a huge no no in the street.
With BJJ if you roll around on the deck with him trying to get him in an UMPA LUMPA then even people who are not involved will feel the need to tap dance on your head.
BJJ - good in the octagon but on a saturday night outside a club or in the kebab shop its your worst nightmare when things get lively.
No matter what you do or where you do it, in my experience, id say weight if your best friend.
Ive seen 60kg professional boxers get done over by some fat bugar that does kebab-jitsu just because of sheer size.

I speak from real experiance as 2 time british columbia junior goju ryu full contact karate champion. and having been a bouncer in Edmonton during the Oil boom with probably 200+ fights and 8 assault charges. You never fight on the street unless its so important and nessasary that you are prepared for the concequences. That means law suits criminal charges and record and jail time. If some guy trys to mug your blind grandmother go for it! some guy yapps....who cares..walk away.

whatever you do dont fight them itll f**k up your school life as i recently found out my year has some trouble with the year below im in year 11 and there in year 10 1day about 3 of them cam eup to me in teh corridor and started pushing me so i fought back and pucnhed 1 of them in teh ace and he fell flat on his face then the next thing you know all his mates come out of no were then all my mates and there a big fight in teh corridor sur ei got a few punches on peoples face but the outcome wasent worth it as the next day i got suspended from school for 5 days i go back to school on tuesdsay but as im in my last year it will mes up my record so next time you realy wona hit someone think about your school life and what would happen if you ot caught beating the crap outa someone
Seems like always if you don't think you could beat them in a fight, it'd make you feel angry and intimidated inside. However, knowing that you CAN beat them automatically gives you the mental strength to walk away. I don't know why this is, I just know that it is. So, the moral of this thread is get tough, get into shape, and LEARN TO FIGHT SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO FIGHT.
Get tough? :P
God that's so Rocky 5... ;D
GO FOR IT!
To say this style is better than that, we this, you that, is kids stuff.
It doesnt matter what you have learned or what style you prefer to train in . I know on average (for average people) some styles work better than others but there are some evil fighters in each disipline ,with worse ones out there with no disipline or training at all and when the real bell tolls (which never happens within rules or protectected sports ) then these men will use what works for them naturally ,none of them stick to the middle road in a style and you see stuff used that is for keeps, the damage is for life, its irrepairable unfortunatley someone will never be the same again.
So to be able to diffuse a situation before it occurs is masterful as well,however its done, there is no rules no style in that either; tell lies,truths use them all. yell "fire" cause a stampede,
"Im so sorry" actually works in many cases, "I cant fight ,I have just got out of hospital". "this gun is loaded"
"Oh Fuck cops! run !! " and you run.. the list goes on, Ive seen a eight man fight difused with a kiss as a joke and the whole thing fell into laughter instead!
you've hit the nail right on the head there, angry and intimidated is exactly how i use to feel all the time, since i taken up muay Thai and whipped into shape, i know i could knock the average guys block off, it doesn't bother me anymore because i feel like i don't need to prove anything to those people anymore, i though it would make me wanna go out and bash those kind of guys head in, but has done exactly the oppositeQuote:

We're watching you! :P
Ive had troubles in school...but never actually had a fight, i was the bigger man and tried to settle it with words. If it came to violence everyone who wanted to fight me wanted to do it another time when they had their mates around, so i wasnt stupid. Looking back now coz ive finished school, i made the right choices. School fights really arent needed, sure you get some respect from people there...but they all fuckin disappear anyway after you finish so what does it matter.
