Answer 1

never train for eye poking thats just stupid unless you plan on trying it on yourself.

you really want to exercise and you are determined to learn well go to a class. you cant learn from book or videos or at least no where near aswell as you could from a class.

Answer 2

Dude... are you serious?

I am going to recommend you actually check out a self defense class. Any martial art can teach you basic striking and the conditioning required for these activities.

The eye gouge is a nasty little trick, its quite effective because it does not need any training. But as a way to persuade a mugger against taking a watch you are probably looking at getting charged as this is probably an unreasonable use of force unless there is a weapon involved.

Answer 3

Get a training partner and let him be the mugger. Then you will be really prepared.

Answer 4

You need classes bro no doubt.

I was weak and vunrable like you.

5Years later and im lanky but you would be suprised on how any occasions i have won fights. Never Carry a wepon unless be it a pack of cards on which you can throw at an attacker and then 1 kick to groin and run.

Answer 5

You will have to train in an environment that is realistic if you want to learn how to defend yourself. I suggest checking your local area for "self-defense" training...not Karate classes as they are not the same thing. Remember there are legal limits on what you can do if you are attacked and if you poke an eye you had best hope the mugger never learns who you are because you will have prove that level was needed in a court of law.

Answer 6

Give them your wallet, and the moment you get home cancel all credit or check cards.

Also report your driver's license missing and or stolen to the police.

I seriously doubt most people out there have the reaction time to stop a mugger, and even if you developed it to a high degree through martial arts, its better not to test it.  The best martial art to take regarding gun disarms is Krav Maga, although likely whatever instructor you have will tell you the same thing; its better not to test it.  In Krav Maga they advice you to stop the gun before the assailant even pulls it out.  That is, the moment you see the arm reaching for a holster, you grab it, hit them in the face as hard as you can, kick them in the nards as hard as you can, you grab their gun, hit them with it to knock them out, throw it as far as you can, run to your car and then get the h**l out of there.

Well don't know if they teach that in Krav Maga but that is what I learned in Karate way back when from gues self defense instructor.  As a general rule, if the gun is out, just give them your wallet and do not argue.  If they are reaching for the gun, grab their arm, hit them in the face and then kick them in the nards, but be sure to take their weapon away.  When you have it, throw it as far as you can so they won't be able to grab it in time to shoot you as you run away.  By the time they recover from the blow to the nards, you should be long gone.

Ultimately though, if the gun is already drawn, don't test it.

good luck.
