the thing i have enountered once or twice is the idiot with heavy object.
most recently the biggest padlock i have ever seen.
the guy was yelling , threatening. there is little to do in this sit. , to make things worse, i am not tiny, but he was LarGE. (why such a large guy needs a padlock as well?)
anyway= things i did to keep myself safe=
as soon as i saw it, kept my eye on it, and his other hand.
-get ready to duck.
-realize running gives him the chance to throw it at my head,
so try and clam guy down, keep him extra close, too close to get a good swing, grab his hand and shake it while trying to talk him out of beating me to death (geez)
eventually he freaks out at my behavior and runs away.
he thought i had taken his picture, i had not.
(ps even if i did, he had no legal right to harass me)
a CCW and a big gun would have been nicer, but really this is the kind of idiot i would have had to kill had i pulled a gun, instead, no harm done besides a hassle. not that ridding the world of this kind of person would be a bad thing, but my consceince tells me its better not to.
this experience has however convinced me a good stun gun might be useful,
and that i need to remeber these street idiots do carry weapons sometimes, and it's beter to start the exodus as soon as trouble arises. run if you have to
(guns and the street= of course , there are muggers that use guns, but i am a very unlikely target for that type of crime. what i hav eto be careful of is drug dealers who might just up and shoot me for crossing their turf or some other nonsense. crackhead losers already traded their gun for crack, they have to use blunt/ sharp obj).
i would like to learn better defense techs, i pretty much go for the
let them strike first, GRab rather than block, control the wrist, choke the heck out of em with other hand. otherwise, im going for the headlock and squeezing till you cry for mercy.
a very large man this evening attacked me becuase he was jealous over some nonsense with my ex. (more reason i cant lug a gun around, people like this)
guy went for my throat, i caught his hand, went for the headlock, he took us both down, but my grip was solid.
finally i agree to let go, had to listen to him yell from other room for a few minutes. (and guy is like over 40. geez. like i need to be getting attacked over a girl at 31, and he is 40+!)
i was appalled.
but the thing is , if you got no real skills, you get control of that neck, whether by throat, headlock, or my personal favorite grab their hair at the front and pull down, the neck is weak, the body must follow it and struggle to protect it first.
this guy was WAAAAY ove my size, ex athlete. i am in good shape, not big.
once i had his head , he was done.
but also, on the street or something, you neve know when someone will have a sharp. i try not to engage at all costs, but you also cnat turn your back on the aggressor.
as far as regular fighting, it just shouldnt happen. i am disgusted by what happened to me this evening., especially since this guy claims to be such a mature man.
yet seeing a lady go out of the room to talk privately with me for 5 secs, i should be beaten ?
Fighting on that level is a cop out. you have been beaten with words, so you have to try and win with your hands.
