I'm pretty adept at Chin Na, the art of disabling opponents with pain, and if that doesn't cut it, broken tendons and bones.
It would be better to just go ahead and die than feel this position coming to it's full fruition. I tap out if it even looks like someone's going to do this to me.

Judo and Taekwondo for me. I'm not a high level, but I think I can hold my own in a one on one fight.
When I turn 18 (17 now), I'll start doing Krav Maga-that style is about as no bullshit and hyper-realistic as it gets.

15-5, 6 KOs in unsanctioned boxing matches varying between welterweight and middleweight (most of the fights at 154, where I had most of the success, going 13-1) during my teen years. I can throw a punch. The one thing I can't do is get back down anywhere even near 154! I'm 25-30 pounds heavier these days.
If your being mugged then you really don't stand a chance with your "kung fu".Umwerfer said:
You see, I have nothing against martial arts as lets say a sport or excersise but when they start claiming that martial arts can protect you from all the boogeymen in the world then it gets quite silly.
Because you never get the frontline news, "Martial art student saves the day".
I would run away if 3 guys with knives would approach me, but I've had guys seriously injured becasue they tried to use "kung fu" or "judo" and sports like that.
Yes, I view martial arts in the same category as badminton and football.
I did do 7 years of ashihara karate when I was younger, got to the yellow belt but got bored due to the kata's.
I doubt its of much use except for some basic reaction made more useful.
I would still run away sooner though...or hit them in the head with a pole that has always worked out for me hahaha

I know a little martial arts - never got past white belt...
Nobody's ever tried to mug me, and I haven't had a fight in aaaages, so I dunno *shrug*
I'm still 6 ft, and everybody I come across is convinced that I'm a body builder - while also having the fury of a berserker when upset.

I know that a swift kick to the nuts will solve around 70% over these kind of problems, and the other 30 can be solved with the knife I keep on me at all times.
I also can make an epic grilled cheese with crab meat

Sure. Make a fist with hand, raise said hand that should now be in fist form, swing said hand into person who you wish to apply your newly formed fist to. For optimal results aim for any weak spots you might see on person.
