Jiu-Jitsu Vision

For those with a New Year resolution to start training self defence, no excuses start training any kind of martial arts to not only defend yourself but also others, it makes me want to puke when reading or seeing news about bystanders doing nothing when they see or hear a women who is raped, or other violent crimes where there are 20-80 people just being passive to a crime. Only rule of thumb I have is to make sure of 2 things.

1there is sparring during training in every class, not something you have to wait too many years for, as it could be sooner that you need to find the weak spots you need to train away.

2 that you train all aspects and distances from standing, clinch, ground and the most common used attacks and weapons, no need to train defence against a certain specific styles attacks or train to defend against weapons that you most likely will never encounter as a katana, medieval swords, AK-47, but jabs, cross, hooks, front kick, haymaker, tackle, knife attacks and blunt instruments.

Guns better hope the man is a complete moron who puts his gun so close that it touches your face so you can grab it with both hands, or else run away in a diagonal pattern, but if someone pulls a gun he will either kill you and you will know that when you are full of holes, or threaten you for money that you can give as it is better than your life or to mess with your mind and establish dominance as he is a pussy that needs a gun to show his friends that he has balls to wave around with a gun. If you are in font of a gang and one of them threaten to pull a gun, run like hell and punch him he will be so surprised that he will either never get his gun up and get the safety off or if you are lucky and he will shoot his own dick off if the safety is off as a punch to the face makes you hands clench if he feels pain, get surprised and scared or go limp if he is KO.
