>self defense classes that obviously don't work

Yes and no.

You can't really compare those to competing sports. Self defense courses try to give you some tools in a short time. It's not a guarantee, but it's better than nothing.

I am doing serveral full contact martial arts, so I always assumed "sefl defense courses" were shit. One day I talked with my flatmate (blonde girl from sweden) about stuff like that and she told me she had done a self defense course. I was like "oh, can you show me something" and expected absolutly worthless techniques..

So we roleplayed that I mugged her and she made a quick step and immediately slammed her hand into my face, stopping about one inch in front of my nose.

I was really stunned because I never expected that speed from a tiny blonde. It would not have killed me but definately stopped me long enough for her to get away.

And that's why self defense can work: because you do the unexpected. Or does a rapist approach in fighting stance? No.

> No amount of groin kicks or biting is going to stop some 200 lb grown ass man

But when you do boxing or wrestling than weight differences don'T matter anymore? That's bullshit and we both know it.

If you are a small girl and get attacked by a huge guy, you either decide to give him the fight of your life (and don't bother getting A LOT of beating afterwards) or you surprise him somehow. Because you can't keep up a long fight anyway.


I'd always say BJJ or boxing is good for self defense, but it's not necessary to shit on self defense courses, as long as they don't make ridiculous claims and give you a false sense of security.

For exmaple the "scenatio training" of Krav is a good thing, especially for women who often have problems to unleach the ruthlessness and violence you need to actually overwhelm an attacker.

But most I have seen are free.
While I disagree with some of the technique used and some of the teaching methods, a lot of the information about situational awareness, basics of hitting and targets to hit, etc. are not bad.
And even with it not being great training it has actually saved people, which is the whole point.
Something, even if it is not great, is MUCH better then nothing.

If they were actually willing to put the time and effort into becoming actual martial artist that would of course be better. But they are not. So it is best to provide them with at least a little something they can use to better their odds of survival in a violent encounter.

Also groin kicks are actually pretty effective if they land. You could argue they are higher % then most "standard" offensive techniques in the real world. Of course you would teach women to go for the groin when it is open. One clean hit can drop many men to their knees long enough to run away. What do you expect someone who is out matched in every way to do to survive such an encounter if they are not armed?

Of course they are, billy. This cop took a nice clean cheerleader kick to the balls and that didn't stop him. Only thing it did was make him angry.

Women don't need to learn martial arts because they have the benefit of society defending them if they are in danger, more so than a man. If you have a girlfriend who is afraid of walking alone, tell her to just do it in broad day light when there are lots of people out. Problem solved. Also, don't take rides from strangers, no matter what kind of fancy car they drive.

Every single human being falls somewhere on a pain tolerance and threshold spectrum.
A very large majority fall around average.
Some are more sensitive than others, some are not as sensitive as others.

For a large majority of human males, a swift and powerful kick to the balls will put them in a substantial amount of pain.

I did Krav Maga for 5 years or so, until I felt I had a good grip of it all and moved on to boxing.

But I think a lot of techniques are actually really useful. Especially because they practise for those dumb attacks you see on the street all the time.

Never forget: Most of the chucklefucks who will attack an innocent person are not martial artists.
Being fit is a recipe for mental health and stability, after all. And martial arts are a niche thing, anyway.

Combined this results in any martial art being worthwhile for a street encounter. Some are more immediately useful than others, though.

You forget adrenaline.
Real life isn't movies. Shoot a guy with a knife and he'll still stab you to death.
Kick a guy who's actually on adrenaline in the balls and he won't give a fuck.

Now, it would be different for a rapist, I would wager, due to them having a state of mind that is less fight or flight and more hornyness and an urge for power.

The victim will be on adrenaline too. Probably even more so.

Seems you have never raped
