When you find yourself in danger, they are usually two ways an average person response with. Fight or flight. But, what if you can’t “flight’?
Being Attacker
They are two different kinds of protecting yourself. If you are innocently walking down the street later at night and someone comes up from behind and attacks you, you want to be in a position where you can get away. In this situation, professional fighters suggest you go to what’s illegal in their respective sports.
Going for the eyes and the genitals is recommended so the attacker has a harder time recovering quickly.
Being Aggressive
Being in a vulnerable position can happen in any situation, and could even be beyond your own control. Going to a bar and drinking with friends can start off as a regular Friday night. But when people are consuming alcohol their actions become unpredictable.
For example, if you are dancing in the middle of the floor and accidentally hit someone and they become aggressive and start throwing punches back, what are you going to do? Let yourself become a punching bag?
They are many combat disciplines you can learn that will help you defend yourself.
Despite popular believe boxing, although very important in protecting yourself, is not the number one most handy martial art. Jiu-Jitsu is. This discipline involves grappling where no punches are thrown.
The idea behind applying Jiu-Jitsu into street combat is so you can hold down the other person until some kind of security or police show up.
Boxing has become so popular over the years and with MMA rising, you never know who can and can’t throw a punch. However, Jiu-Jitsu is a niche not many people are that aware of.
Having all these news skills will also undoubtedly boost your confidence. The feeling that if something goes wrong in any situation you are able to get yourself out in some way.
