Instinctual Fighting Techniques
The other day, I saw something amazing, a typical sight, but this time, I saw through the eyes of the street fighter. A little girl, maybe 5 or 6, was attempted to be dragged by the hand with a kid who appeared as if a large brother or some other relative of maybe 12 years.
As she cried in protest, suddenly she stopped crying and also got aggressive. She bit his hand, and kick him hard on the shins. He fell to the ground grabbing for his shins and rubbing his hand writhing in pain with a face of shock. He obviously released the small girl as she ran off to the arms of an approaching lady who appeared as if her mother.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the instinctual fighting response of kids that still will work for us today as adults. We have to relearn what we should already know.
Instinctual Fighting Tips
1. Fight Like A Human Not Like Some Exotic Animal – There’s been lots of romance and myth surrounding most modern-day martial arts because it is taught and obtained from its ancient origins of centuries upon centuries ago. There is indisputable fact that we as humans ought to be imitating the fighting types of animals to become efficient fighters. Really? Animals walk on all fours. Humans walk on two. Animals have fur. Humans wear coats. Animals stalk with bare feet. Humans wear shoes and sometimes boots. Somebody help me! I aren’t seeing the similarity. Look, this really is my premise. A bear has an instinctual method in which it fights. It props itself onto it hind legs with a little difficulty and uses its front claws to strike. A kangaroo has an instinctual method in which it fights. Since its tiny arms are almost useless, it has to use its powerful front legs to front kick and trust – however it doesn’t claw like a bear. A crane comes with an instinctual method in which it fights. It uses its beak and claws using its feet, however the clawing of the crane’s feet can’t be considered just like the claw of a bear. A snake are only able to wrap and squeeze, if it’s not poisonous. A snake doesn’t claw nor kick. Where am I choosing all this? I submit that also we as humans come with an instinctual way of fighting that is best seen in its primal state when young kids fight, kick and bite.
2. Bite – Bite – Bite – I put this 3 times because this is the most basic and primal self-defense technique that there is. To bite isn’t polite. And that is exactly what we want. Biting is painful, so when an adult suddenly does it to another adult, it is shocking and disarming. If you bite into almost any a part of an opponent and do not release, panic takes hold, and you literally bite your dream out of him. This jogs my memory when I was about 12 years of age, when I didn’t even know this is of martial arts. I was talking to my sweetheart in the neighborhood outside about the sidewalk when along occurs a bicycle the neighborhood bully with two of his cohorts. This bully was maybe 13 or 14, and he was much, much taller and larger than me. He rides up to the side of me. I turn to take a look at him. “What you lookin’ at,” he challenges in my experience. “I’m taking a look at you,” I retort, not wanting to look like a whimp before my girl, when suddenly, “Pow!” He sucker punches me within the forehead. I become disoriented, and before I know it, he dives toward my legs, hits me in the stomach together with his shoulders, lifts me up from the back of my knees and slams me down. Now he is looking to get into position to punch and pound me in the face by trying to hold my shoulders down with his hands. Well, as they was trying to do that, he accidentally pressed his cheek against my lips. Instinctually, I bit into that sucker’s cheek like he was a prime rib steak. And I didn’t let go. Now, he is supposed to be the main one who’s kicking my butt, but he’s doing all of the yelling and screaming like a girl. After getting tired of hearing him scream in my ear after a couple of minutes, I let go. His jaw was bleeding, and he was in shock. He and the buddies got on the bikes, rode off and I never saw him again to this day.
3. Sucker Punch – This is exactly how the bully got the best of me. He sucker punched me. But obviously as adults, we should provide some fancy name, so we call it a “preemptive strike”. La Dee Dee. La Dee Da. It’s the same stuff. The idea would be to strike first before the other person has got the time to react. (Not to mention, don’t allow your guard down and never be aware of a potential first strike to come in the other person.)
4. Learn And Master Just a few Powerful Techniques – Keep it simple. Keep it easy to consider and easy to execute. Stay away from any fighting techinques system that purports to teach you 400 methods to execute a technique against a panic attack. This is ridiculous since the only thing this will do it to decelerate your reaction time as you mind begins to process which from the 400 techniques that you should use as you see this crazy S.O.B. having a knife standing in front individuals prepared to gut you prefer a fish fillet. You will freeze. You won’t get sound advice. And it’s quite likely, you will wind up getting seriously hurt or killed. This is like someone telling me that he wants to show me 400 different ways to wipe my butt. Well, I contend that a minimum of 398 of those ways are totally unnecessary. If a child is learning to tie his shoes and also you attempt to show him 400 various ways to tie his shoe, in desperate situations, how fast could he tie that shoe with 400 different ways swimming around in the head. In self-defense and street fighting, less is more, that’s, less is much more than enough to deal with business and protect yourself. Keep it simple. Ensure that it stays powerful. Keep it instinctual.
