I learned some Judo in the military. Not sure how effective it would be up against a well trained Muay Thai style kickboxer however.
Maintaining a good center of gravity and knowing how to apply natural inertia is a force that will render an opponent to a pile of his own vomit in mere seconds.
I would never want to get into a scrap with these boys.. :D
Thanks for sharing :)
From my experience most fights start out on the feet and end up on the ground.
Best to know how to strike and some Judo or BJJ!!
In my experience, I have a deadly fast fist blow that ends with one of us on the ground, usually not me :D
Admittedly I have never had to defend myself against a kickboxer, and doubt I would.. because most skilled fighters do not wish to fight, it's only a last resort as a means to defend oneself.
It's never a good idea to fight someone who pleads with the assailant to reconsider while standing their ground.
Unfortunately I have a criminal history because of assailants. The winner in a fight is oftentimes considered the assailant in the court of law.
I have been lucky and able to talk my way out of most fights!
The ones I got in.. I made sure to yell "STOP RESISTING" lol
Man... That's exactly what I was yelling with an assailant I didn't want to hurt one time. I was grossly overcharged and made out to be a monster in court, when the irony was, it was a submission hold, instead of a face bashing.
The court didn't care, I pretty much beg people to reconsider now and also try to "talk my way out of it" so to speak. NY loves to hammer people. Not so much in my home town, but the small backwoods towns. If you're not a native to the town, do not want to get into any shit with the courts.
Admittedly I did give him a couple of love taps on the face when he kept resisting, some people are so stubborn :D
Most my Sifu's and coaches told me: "After you fight.. RUN"
That's probably good advice lol.
