Fighting Techniques : silat

noreply@blogger.com (caftan) — Wed, 6 Oct 2010 15:21:00 +0100

Silat is a collective word for indigenous martial arts of the Malay Archipelago and Malay Peninsula of Southeast Asia. Originally developed in what are now Indonesia, peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore, it was also traditionally practiced in Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. As a result, it is closely related to other Southeast Asian martial arts including krabi krabong and eskrima. Practitioners are called pesilat. The Chinese fusion of silat is known as kuntao.

There are hundreds of different styles but they tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, bladed weapons, throws, animal-based techniques, or some combination thereof. Silat is one of the sports included in the Southeast Asian Games and other region-wide competitions. Training halls are overseen by separate national organizations in each of the main countries the art is practiced. These are Ikatan Pesilat Indonesia from Indonesia, Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Malaysia from Malaysia, Persekutuan Silat Brunei Darussalam from Brunei and Persekutuan Silat Singapura from Singapore.

tips: when you're outnumbered

noreply@blogger.com (caftan) — Tue, 5 Oct 2010 13:38:00 +0100

To begin, I would like to say that out on the street, there is no such thing as a fair fight.
Only under the controlled environment of a ring (sometimes not even then) is there anything resembling a fair fight.
For many, violence may make absolutely no sense except when a person is in defense of God, country and family.
Unfortunately there are others who engage in violence because of peer pressure, ignorance, an inherent streak of meanness or perhaps out of simple boredom. Regardless of the reason,

the simple fact is people looking for a fight prefer to do it when they have the advantage. This advantage may be superior weapons, physical strength, numbers or any combination of the three.

In most any self-defense class the instructor will cover basic techniques against a club, knife, gun and a much larger assailant. Unless the class is an ongoing martial arts class, covering more than one assailant often isn’t feasible.

Even with proper martial arts training, the possibility of getting hurt in a fight against more than one attacker is high. Getting past this fear of injury is a must in surviving the confrontation though so remember there is no pain when you are dead.

First and foremost, if you are faced with a confrontation in which you are outnumbered and you see a way out, TAKE it. Run away at the fastest possible speed to safety and yell to attract attention. It is rare that any attacker is looking to be seen during a crime. If you are old enough to remember the old Monty Python movie “In Search Of The Holy Grail”, think of the knight’s response to the monster rabbit and simply “Run away!” There is no shame in avoiding a needless confrontation and living to fight another day. In these instances, retreat is the better part of valor and it certainly beats a rape, stabbing or a coffin.

Just as there is safety in numbers, there is courage as well. When two or more possible assailants are together, they seldom want to appear weak or scared in front of their buddies or you. Whereas one may think better of it if alone, the group often eggs each other along until even tricks or mean spirited fun can turn into homicide. If this seems paranoid to you just pick up the paper any given day and read the news. Read about the hate crimes that occur in every major city in the country.

When these types of things happen, it is very easy to go from victim to casualty in a matter of moments. There are a few do’s and don’ts that may allow you to go from victim to survivor though. It is to be remembered that no technique will work one hundred percent of the time in all given situations. If running away is not an option, then your only choice in a life-threatening situation is to fight and continue fighting until you are out of danger. A life-threatening situation is not a purse snatching or car jacking. These things can be replaced and NO material thing is worth losing you life over.

In June of this year, a woman going to her car in a mall parking lot decided to fight over her purse against two men. This decision cost her life and they still got away with the purse. As of the writing of this piece, the killers still have not been caught.

Whenever you are out in areas like parking lots or garages, parks, on greenbelts jogging or basically in any other environment, try to be aware of your surroundings at all times. If multiple attackers set you upon, keep your wits about you and attempt to locate an equalizing weapon. This weapon can be anything from a piece of pipe to a broken bottle, a curb to trip them over or a potted plant to bash them with. Umbrellas and rolled up newspapers, coats that are carried over your arm or that heavy, precious purse that so often weighs five or more pounds.

Once you have your weapon, try to move in a circular motion to reach it if necessary and also to get your assailants where they must come at you one at a time. If you are unable to get them lined up in the way of each other then start with the one directly between you and the road to your escape and try to punch a hole through their defenses by taking out one of the number.

While doing this, remember that they aren’t fighting fair so there are no rules as to your fighting techniques. Hit, punch, gouge, kick, and bite in whatever way possible. Poke them in the eyes, hit in the throat, and pop their eardrums by cupping your hands and hitting both ears simultaneously. Don’t wait for them to strike first, surprise them by taking the fight to them. If you can take out one of them your chances have just increased dramatically.

If you commit yourself to this course of action then I have only a couple recommendations:

1.After you hit him run like hell.

2. Circle try to keep one man in front of the other as you work your way into a position to run.

3.After about three steps, it is common to be chased once you run. Keep that in mind and after three or four steps, give out one good back kick and take off running again. True this little move requires practice but it works quite often against over zealous opponents and if you are lucky, your shot may do damage

Reading these suggestions is all well and good but they will do you no good whatsoever if you lose your head and have hysterics or freeze during the confrontation. In fact, these actions can often have deadly consequences. Even if you are scared to death (and you would be crazy not to be) try not to act it unless you think it may lull your attackers into thinking you are easy prey. If this is the case you will need to strike quickly as soon as you feel you have the opportunity to.

Regardless of what the action film makers in Hollywood would have you believe, it is unlikely that one person fighting two or more assailants is going to come out of the fight without getting hurt. The best you can do is to decrease the number against you and get away as quickly as possible. Remember you are not there to fight, you are fighting to survive.

To lower your risk of these types of assaults, stay aware of your surroundings and don’t take unnecessary risks. Most businesses, hospitals and school campuses have security personnel so take advantage of them. They are there for a reason and you should not be ashamed to ask for their escort.

If no security is available, look around, hold your head up and walk as if you have a purpose or set goal. Before leaving the building or getting out of your car, have your keys in hand because they can make an excellent weapon when needed. If you have pepper spray or a concealed weapon, make sure they are readily available. These items will do absolutely no good buried in the bottom of a purse, rolling around the floorboard of the car or sitting at home on the kitchen table.

When jogging, take a buddy along if you can, if not, leave the headphones at home as these dull the mind and takes away your sense of hearing. Assailants dislike any type of dog so get yours up off the couch and get some exercise as well.

Contact your local YMCA or community college and take a self-defense class.The best time for these is BEFORE you need the knowledge. Basic self-defense classes can at least give an understanding and knowledge in blocks, punches and kicks as well as suggestions on how to escape. Once you take the course, continue to practice what you have learned and keep in mind what you have read.

tips: a proper fist

noreply@blogger.com (caftan) — Tue, 5 Oct 2010 00:32:00 +0100

In the movie Batman Forever, the character Two Faced explains the procedure to the Riddler on making a fist to throw a punch. Although this was a humorous scene in the movie, the sad fact is that many people actually believe by balling up your hand and swinging, you have made an effective and proper fist.

Many sprained and broken hands or wrists have been caused by trying to use an improperly made fist.
These injuries may be caused from improper wrist control, finger and/or thumb placement, as well as which knuckles of the hand hit first.

A fist needs to be strong and steady. To make it so, wrist angle is important. When making a fist, look at your forearm and hand horizontally. They should line up to where it looks like a level could be placed along the back of the arm and hand. Keeping this position requires practice and repeated checking.

When the wrist is allowed to bend forward or backward, excessive pressure is placed upon the bones and nerves and injury can occur. The injury can appear immediately in ways of a sprain or break. They can also show up later on in training resembling Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Repeated improperly placed blows can cause misalignment of the many small bones in the wrist causing swelling and pinching of the nerves that run through the wrist to the hand.

Once you have the idea of the proper position of the wrist, it is time to look at your fist itself. Fingers should curl in as tightly as possible. The hand should curl around these fingers so the fingernails touch the meaty part of the palm.

The thumb should wrap itself over and around the second section of the fingers. It should NOT be stuck under the fingers nor should it be over the end of the hand and sticking up. Because of nails, women are often prone to do this with their thumbs. If lucky, a torn off nail will be the least of injuries when throwing a punch this way.

Once you have balled up your fist, curled the fingers and hand so the nails touch the palm, then wrapped your thumb over the middle sections of your fingers, check your wrist angle once again. The knuckles should be the forward part of the fist. Not the first bend in the fingers themselves.

When you are sure you have a properly made fist, try it out on a punching bag or even a big sack of dog food. Throw several punches, exhaling as you do, and then check your knuckles. Only the ones that go with the index and middle fingers should be red. If all of your knuckles are red, your wrist placement is off center. Adjust it to the left or right as needed and once again check your wrist for levelness.

A truly effective punch will require power and speed but the proper placement and technique in the fist is vital too. If you practice making a fist and throwing the punch, speed and power will build over time and because you were careful in learning how to make a fist, it will be built without injury or pain to you.

Street Fighting

noreply@blogger.com (caftan) — Mon, 4 Oct 2010 00:30:00 +0100

Street fighting involves the use of anything and everything that can be used as a weapon including all the parts of the human body and various objects that can typically be found lying in the streets of any settlement or community.

Bottles, sticks, stones, chairs and other types of furniture, common household tools and working implements–all of these things can be used to deliver potentially deadly force when faced with an opponent.
For purposes of this article however, we will stick to street fighting techniques that do not involve anything other than the parts of the body.

Even with that restriction, there is a lot of damage that you can do. Just using all the various parts that humans are born with, an experienced street fighter can cause considerable amounts of pain and injury, and in some cases even death. Let’s start from the top–literally–then, shall we?
First up in your arsenal of inborn weapons is the head. While your instincts may tell you that the head is a part that should be protected at all costs–and it is–it can make quite an effective striking weapon when used properly.
When using your head as a street fighting technique, you should always remember to make contact with the top part of the forehead.

Next up are the elbows. Used to tremendously devastating effect in mixed martial art competitions, the elbows can be used to strike in almost all directions towards the nose, chin, throat, neck and solar plexus of your opponent.
Aside from its great force, elbow strikes tend to come out of nowhere, and your opponent will probably never even see it coming.
The fists are of course one of the parts of the body that is most often used in combat. As to whether it is used effectively however is another matter entirely.
Anyone can throw a punch, but it needs a fair amount of knowledge and experience to be able to throw one and connect effectively without breaking your hands.
These are only a few of the street fighting techniques that you can use. They should be a good start though and give your opponent something to think about!
