It's a myth. My kid brother is a third degree black belt from the Goju-Ryu style of Karate (Japan). He can also award black belts.

If, and only if, you are speaking of fighting with fist. Most do not because they want to be part of the "gentile civilized society" And those who would fight, often don't unless there is no alternative. Otherwise they just bull out a firearm and pop a cap into you. No muss , no fuss, and you don't even have to break a sweat.

This happened to me when i first started sparring. My first ever sparring match in class(12 years old, in the adult class), the dude got way to pumped up and busted my nose, like, really bad. blood spewed from my nose, scared the bejeebies out of me. He got his rank stripped and three ribs broken from a black belt who saw what happened. He left, but for about a month after that happened i would be shaking from head to toe before i got in the ring with anyone(including little kids!!) My instructor finally realized how scared i was and got a few black belts to coach me along for qa couple classes until i got my confidence back.\n\nTell your instructor what you're feeling before you spar. If He/She is worth anything they can at least give you some advice or extra drills or a more advanced student can coach you for a couple classes to help build your self-confidence. A scared fighter is dangerous to herself and to her partner, so ask for help before you set any bad habits based on your fear!

I am a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but it is not with that association.\n\nI can say, however,that it is the thing I am most proud of doing in my life, up to this day. I'm 17, and i took me about 4 years to recieve my belt. I worked very hard, and what makes it so rewarding is that its worth it!

Even the actors in the matches admit it is fake.\n\nYou still have to be physically fit to participate.

If you fear for your life or your family's..nothing will happen. You have a right to defend yourself. But be smart.\n\nIf you cant prove fear of life then brandishing a firearm is one of several things you may be charged with if you point a firearm. There are other charges you'll be slapped with also. \nI suggest ANYONE who has or is thinking of obtaining a firearm read this book..it only costs a couple buck and is a real eye opener. Very plain language without all that "legalese". This one is a california edition, laws in your state may vary.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0964286483/qid=1145804767/sr=2-3/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_3/002-1006831-6660060?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

In training, you are taught to shoot for center of the mass. If your target still poses an immediate threat to your life or others, you keep shooting (within reason) in order to neutralize that threat. Handguns are not as light as they may appear, and not as powerful as TV and movies make them out to be. They are heavy, hard to aim, and also do not have alot of "stopping" power, and as such sometimes require multiple shots to render a suspect disabled.\n\n99.9999999999% of the time an officer will fire his weapon in order to save his life or that of someone else; they are trained to do so, and only do it within the confines of the law and their use of force policy. Yes, suspects die in the process. What you have to remember is that individual was part of a situation in which an event or series of events took place culminating in the end of their life, and that is ultimately what counts. Whether they had a story doesn't usually matter at that point; they already took it to a level where deadly force was necessary.

If you are armed with a club, it is a deadly weapon, and officers will treat it as such.  yes they are trained in "hand to hand" but they are not black belts, and we have no way to know if you are or if you are not.\n\nIf you have a weapon, like a club, if there is enough officers they may use pure numbers if they can, but normally it will be one or two officers who has to act.  They may if there is no wind, try and use mace but only if you are not comming at them,  if you are comming at them or appear to be ready to harm someone else, they will use deadly force, they have no other choice.\n\n( some my have a tazer and use it, but they are not widely used at this time, )\n\nAnd the officer does not know what the problem is, are you mentally ill, or you just mean, or you a drug user, or you a life long criminal,  all they know is that there is a person with a possible weapon and they react as such.\n\nAnd a mentally ill person off thier medication ( or on some medications)  can at times be the most dangerous,  I have had two cases where someone broke my handcuffs, they were both mentally ill people.  One such lifted me up and tossed me. when I tried to stop them.  It took 7 offices with clubs to finally stop him.

if you mean jui jitsu u wont learn it by video or just by watching it you need real training with parteners to understand were and how to to put a move on or to resist it im doing it now along with freestyle for severeal years and sparring with different peolpe still suprises me what i dont know.  EG>>> an arm bar does nt just become available you need to minipulate the situation to make it available. all the chokes bars locks can be shown but are no good when someone is resisting your martial advances(Hence real life training.

What are you on about? Hand 2 hand? Simple dont teach it any more. Causes 2 many injuries in pubs and clubs, and is never really used operationally. Basic restraint techniques are taught now. Hand to hand was taught to commando's in WW2 when they had the special forces role they dont anymore. And was a neccesaty due to the unreliability of weapons then.

Yes, the "Three Strikes Law" is real...and the way it is applied in some states means that if you get in trouble when you are young (Let's say got busted breaking into a house and you had a gun...that's two felonies, B&E and unlawful possession of a firearm), then stay out of trouble for a decade or so, then get into a bar fight that results in assault charges, you can get a life sentence for that.

I am told by those who know that most martial arts are not really designed as self defence systems. Most contain certain archaic moves such as top knot grabs and sword arm blocks.\nYou must also take into account the situation you might find yourself in. I was attacked in the street once and it was very scary I would have to have been very well drilled to be able to utilize any techniques I had learned (which I wasn't)therefore you would need to be a black belt in at least one Martial art and close to black in at least one other to be confident of winning the day unscathed as it were.\nYou must also remember that most attackers / muggers will usually not attack you head on (in case you are a martial arts expert) most "Jump" their victim from behind in order to get them on the floor as quickly as possible.\nTherefore, in order to finally answer your question I would learn one "grappling" martial art Ju Jitsu or Aikido and one "Striking" one Probably Wu Shu or Kung Fu, though the fighting form of Tai Chi is said to be very good.

Simple question, Tracy, but it has no simple answer.\n\nFor starters, most states laws reagrd the use of deadly force as an alternative ONLY when they are inside your home & are threatening the lives of you or yours & even That is difficult to prove/justify. Furthermore, when you confront someone, even an animal in the wild, if you Do Not offer it a simple means of escape, it Will attack!\nAutomobiles are movable property & as such, the law states that you must protect yourself By Backing off & summoning help, Period! So, all those Rambo-types out there are clearly misguided souls who apparently are legends in their own minds!\n Sure, it's Your personal property but if we all started firing at every individual we claimed was stealing from us, we would eventually have anarchy cuz there are alotta variables that can come into play. Fer instance, I come home from work to discover a guy taking the stereo outta my car, do I shoot him or do I let him explain that my girl hired him to put in an even nicer one for me as a surprise b-day present! I'm a convicted felon cuz I shot a guy who was doing exactly that! I know it's a one in a million but still, the law really does serve a purpose & if we were to attempt to shoot someone who's unarmed, we become the criminal & the flip-side of that is if we attempt to stop such a person some other , non-lethal way & they are armed, we become another dead statistic...see what I mean? No simple answer but I hope I illuminated some of the uglier possibilities for ya cuz anything you can replace with a little cashflow is worth far less than you life or your own freedom....get my drift?

It is one of the best martial arts in the world it will come in handy if you get mugged in a dark alley in NewYorkCity in 4 in the morning.You yourself will be the ulitmate weapon not a whipy 9 millimeter guns are for pussies.

It is one of the great Martial Arts, but probably not more deadly than others.\nMost Thai boxers live till retirement.\nIf you beat someone hard and often enough, it will result in casualty regardless of the type of martial art.\nI think it depends on the individual.  A well conditioned and trained fighter can mostly hurt or kill somebody more effectively than a less able fighter regardless of the style.

I think nowadays it's just good manners to do so.\n\nDragging up from the deepest corners of my memory, I have a feeling that the origin of the handshake was that it showed your enemy you were unarmed....most people being right handed....\n\nI much prefer a person with a firm handshake than one whose handshake can be likened to a limp fish....not nice at all.
