Everyone is more or less at risk of experiencing violence during their life. This is especially true for minorities, and as leftists in today’s political climate. The risk of violence will undoubtedly increase as political climates change, so we must be ready to defend ourselves, our comrades, our family and friends, and our communities.
I practise Krav Maga (I know) and have a limited background in wrestling, Karate, and Judo. It would be great to hear everyone’s thoughts on strategies and tactics for self-defence so we can help each other become more prepared to face violent situations.
If there’s enough interest in the topic I think it would be a good idea to start a community for self-defence.
Learn to throw good basic punches, kicks and elbows. Learn to wrestle out of grapples. You are 95% there if you do this stuff. Everything else is sugarcoating. Make your fists solid by using punching bag, and progressing to walls if you can.
I have been practicing for quite a few years, and have a dojo/gym in house.
Solid advice. It’s all about mastering the basics and applying them with aggression for massive damage.
