      Was just talking to a guy who has done a lot of SCARS and TFT. He said that basically this stuff would only work in a serious life-death situation. It would not work in a barroom scenario.

      Call me immature but I don’t like that. So, if some guy is just gonna fuck with you maybe try to swing a not-so-lethal haymaker at you it won’t work? I mean Carl said it best; that the bar-room scenario is immature and stupid. Yeah I would never willingly get into that. If only because you can get in serious legal trouble if nothing else. But I mean sometimes the jerk-offs start shit out of nowhere. Yeah it is an ego situation…not lethal.

      It is not the guy in a ski-mask with a gun telling you to get in the trunk of a car etc. But anyman who says he does’nt want a system that will put the big arm big mouth shit-starter on his ass is lying. SDTS seems to me like it would work in both kinds of scenarios and that’s the way a system SHOULD be.

      The problem here is the individual does not understand the realities of bar fighting. In MOST bar fights your life aint on the line. So yes leathal strikes are a REAL bad idea but doesnt mean this is a sporting match either. So appropiate amount of force would be the order of the day. Knowledge of the force ladder is needed.

      Exactly One. Guy does’nt get that there is a continuum here. There is a middle ground between all this. Not life threatening sure. But also not the sort of situation you can ALWAYS talk your way out of either. And not a situation you want to take lightly. Ya may not die, but you can get badly hurt if you do not take some action.

      If you run, you are certain to die, if you stand and fight you may live

      “Yes it’s true..fight and you may die. Go home, you’ll live. And then dying in your beds…”

      Can’t remember the rest of what William Wallce said lol.

      Can anything from JeetKunDo be applied to self-defense? I practice the tiger claw on my bob and for some reason I think it wouldn’t rattle a guy so bad to the point where he’s daised unless you’ve made the tiger claw into a vicious guerrilla tactic that you can just smash 1-2-3 and the guys like WTF was that. The direct chinjab smash is to me like uppercuts are to Tyson!

      Human, I have been training in JKD off and on for 8 years from a Jerry Poteet student, a Larry Hartsell student, Paul Vunak himself and a few others. I am not saying this to name drop; just tht these are the most competent of JKD instructors that the system has to offer. And having said that-in all honesty I can say the the few things from MOST JKD that can be applied are the eye-jab (an eye-attack done in a boxing jab way) and the headbutts, knees and elbows.

      And of course Vunak’s biting and eye-gouging works well if done at the right time. Truth is, most of that stuff as far as I can gather it are just really good for building co-ordination. And speed. Most of that trapping stuff-you just won’t do it. If it’s a situation like what we are training for with the SDTS, you’re just not gonna!

      Not saying this to even sound like cyber-sensei (too many of those) but…you opened quite a can o’ worms in asking me LOL!

      The eye gouge using the boxers style jab? only eye gouge’s im familiar with is the chinjab/eye gouge and the thumb spear, placing the thumb ontop of the fist and punching his eye socket in! Naassty!

    • #11683

      It’s a whippign action-you do it like a jab ‘cept with hand open and all four fingers tight together. Like a slap to the eye; the pads of your fingers bith-slap-lash his eye in the boxer’s jab way.

      Get it?

      Got it?

      Good.

      Holy Shit. That sounds better than my thumbspear. I’ll be sure to introduce that to my bob!

    • #11686

      lol- you’ve never heard of this?

      Maybe just the name threw you off.

      It’s cool because it’s like if you get his eyes, more power to you. If not well you’ve set him up for all kinds of other stuff.

      That’s fine, I myself will try to not ever have a favorite move, really.

    • #11693

      Understood, I don’t really have a favorite move, but I’m still a fan of the edge of hand blow, it’s like magic and to most people the axe hand doesn’t even look effective, it’s all the element of surprise!
