So....

[Devilius]

....What would you do if someone tried to mug you in a deserted place?

 

[parodyluvr75]

Would I have a table or a ladder?

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Seriously fuck up one of their feet.

 

[Devilius]

I was going back to my car, which was parked in quite a deserted place. The week had been hectic due to the recent audits in Office, and I wasn't really in a good mood.

So, this guy approaches me, wearing a black hoody partially covering his face. He ordered me to give up my car keys to him, or else he'd shoot me.

Me: Go Fuck Yourself.

He was totally shocked. Looked as if he never expected to hear that. He turned around and quickly walked away.

I realised what I had done after leaving the place.

 

[Devilius]

Would I have a table or a ladder?

If you carry those two all the time, then you can use both?

Seriously fuck up one of their feet.

Easier said than done.

I'm considering carrying a ladder, a table is less exciting.

I'm glad it worked out okay for you.

Not at all. A guy attacked me, I broke his leg almost immediately, and there he was, high and dry with the tide out. Cut the hamstring. You can do lots with feet and legs.

That it is. A kick is way more powerful than a punch, if done correctly, that is.

I'll get back to you, we haven't covered this in class yet.

Thanks. I was lucky, I think.

Speak for yourself.

Squats?

 

[parodyluvr75]

That you were.

James isn't completely wrong.

The foot and ankle contain: 26 bones (One-quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet.); 33 joints; more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments (Tendons are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones and ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones.

Bones in the foot can be broken or dislocated with a good stomp to the top of the foot. They can't chase you, if they can't run.

No, he isn't wrong.

People have different responses to an emergency situation. Some just gear into action and may kick the shit outta the mugger, while some may just freeze up.

But going all kungfuey isn't everyone's style. And sometimes, people got themselves killed doing just that.

This isn't a predictable scenario. Anything can happen.

It's even worse for the ladies.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

A light female can disable a large man with a kick to the leg (thigh). Many have nails strong enough to cut the Achilles tendon.

 

[parodyluvr75]

Yep, it can be a crap shoot, but it's nice to know things, just in case you have no choice but to use them.

 

[Riles]

Squats?

Oh god, don't get me started on the number of friggin squats we have to do. We'll be up to 120 by the end of the week. Kill me now.

Always, always try to leave or talk the situation down. All the while being prepared for the moment you cant.

Leg press is a good alternative.

That's the basic self defence technique we were taught in escrima.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

The last time that it happened to me the mugger got one of the most thorough beatings (I know, a broad assumption on my part) of his life and I got a new cheap knife that was useless for anything other than as a paperweight.



Muggers are generally not made of sterner stuff.

Horrrible picture you've painted in my mind...

*Bang*

The Jason Bourne series was my inspiration for choosing Silat over karate and kungfu.

Man, I still love that movie.

I'm not sure what that is yet, but I will google. Though I imagine it's pretty much the motto for all self defense teaching. Why engage and potentially be hurt if you can do otherwise? What's a leg press? Show me? Maybe he calls it something different. We have to do a lot of tortuous things while our instructor delights in our groans. Sadistic bastard!

Men. I ask for a mercy killing and he gives me a bang.

actually it's a very poor alternative to squats

At lest you died with a smile on your face.

Good for the thigh and butt muscles. Although, squats are more concentrated.

Same thing - dead meat either way.
