Do I get it now?
I'm a sneaky bastard who uses a mangled cross-breed of martial arts, infused with surprising strength and inbuilt brutality and inventive evil. Basically, I'll pull something from about every martial art, or simply strike out with a cheap but crippling shot. Pressure points are a favourite
A little bit of everything. I have a black belt in hapkido, but I'm not above kicking someone in the groin and then bashing their head into something solid. For me, there is no such thing as a fair fight.
Brootal.
I'm a brawler, one of the guys that screams and rushes you. I'd probably lose a fight against someone experienced, but I like to think I'm more than capable of defending myself if the moment calls for it.

I can throw a decent punch but if I ever got in a fight dare say I'd go for the ol dodge, headlock, beat the shit out of their face tactic.
I fight like a girl. I don't mean to say I'm bad at it, just that I fight the way your average girl does.
First off - I <3 your kit. Can't believe you're not stuck with the oh so boring (and difficult to keep clean) white gi.The Dr Jack said:Haseo21 said:
I hate these threads. Most of the people that claim to practice a martial art are probably talking bollocks, and the people that say "Grab the nearest weapon" have blatantly never been in a fight.
This is an internet forum, so you could claim to be as good as friggin Bruce Lee.
Anybody that has been in a proper fight knows that it's finished in no more than 5 moves.
Sure, I could be talking shit here, but I just hate seeing pretentious idiots blow themselves up to appear something they are not.
EDIT: I practice Shotokan and Freestyle Karate.

That is me
I don't know how to do the spoiler thing ¬.¬
Secondly - I've done 6? 7? years of Shotokan karate (Woohoo!) about a year of wadoryu style (not so cool, but there's no Shotokan club at uni) and a year of jitsu. Which I love. Oh yeah, and three months of playing taekwondo with the brown belts and up, during the holidays.
When I write it out like that, that's actually scary.
Thirdly - The only fights I've been in are competition fights. I have no idea how I'd do in real life. The jitsu fights, I got a shiny gold medal, and the karate ones, not so much, though I hold my own.
I have no idea what I'd do in real life, though it'd definitely be martial arts themed. The ever efficient knee to the groin would probably figure quite highly.... and the wonderful pressure point just below the ear.
Doc - what's Freestyle Karate? Is that just the sparring?
And, agree about the weapon thing - you don't pick up a weapon you don't know exactly how to use, or they'll take it off you and use it on you instead. Not cool.
My first rule of fighting is to not get in a fight. If I am friendly and outgoing enough, I do not have to fight. However, if that fails, then I have martial arts to back it up. I am a pretty big guy, at 6'3" and 300lbs., so that comes in handy too. I am not well trained in any specific style of martial arts, but I have learned bits and pieces of things over the years. Right now I am taking a karate class to satisfy a gym credit requirement for my degree, but I don't really like the style. It uses too much leg work, and my legs are relatively short for me being so tall.
Anything goes so long as it gets the job done. Never EVER Underestimate the joy of gouging at an opponents eyes.
Typically my fighting style consists mostly of inflicting as much pain as possible in order to keep my opponent disoriented. A tazer or can of mace works fine, but a quick jab to the nose or knee to the groin works just as well. Than while they're incapacitated I grab a chair or equally large and heavy object before proceeding to bash in their kneecaps so they can't chase me/get away from me. After they are immobile I proceed to keep using the mace and or tazer until the can runs empty or my batteries die.
Then I either call the cops or vacate the scene, depending on who started the fight and whether or not my opponent is still alive.

I've a little bit of Ju-Jistsu and boxing training, along with some armed combat stuff. Plus my dad showed be every bar-room brawling trick he could think of when he thought is was old and sensible enough to go drinking on my own.
I don't think anything is off-limits when it's selfdefence.
