Answer 1

Believe your gut feeling and if you think an attack is imminent then strike first powerful and fast ,yes i know the law may say different ,but the law is an *** and hasn't been in survival situations ,I know your smart enough to know what I mean.

Best wishes :)***

Oh man, bullies..what FUN dealing with those jerks is (that's sarcasm, of course).

First thing you need to learn is when to NOT fight. Someone who only insults you, calls you name, but never tries to physically fight you, you don't have to worry about that kind of idiot. Like the saying goes:  "a barking dog never bites"  

Then for when you're physically attacked, you need to remember, DON'T use any more force than necessary to deal with the idiot. If he just keeps trying to shove you, there's no need to to hit him.  The moron's just trying to annoy you enough so that you end up hitting him first. A better option is to use some type of restrainging technique on him, such as an  arm-lock or a wrist-lock, or finger lock.

And yes, I know that telling the teacher, principal or whoever doesn't really do alot of good (unless you're in one of those rare schools that doesn't put up with bullying).

But even if it doesn't help stop the bullying, you need to try telling the teacher, principal, etc, anyway. Because then when NEED to defend yourself, they won't be able to say that you didn't try to avoid fighting.

In fact, each time you try telling the teacher, principal, whoever, keep a list of those times, what the bullies did, and what (if anything) was done to deal with the bullies.  

And as for martial arts, a good self-defense course would be a better short-term solution --AT FIRST.  You want one that'll help you deal with multiple opponenets and how to deal with the "flight or fight response" (that feeling you get when you're really scared), so that way you won't have a problem with "freezing up" when attacked.

For studying martial arts/self-defense longer, Krav Maga might be good, but there's alot of bad KM schools out there..but that can be said for almost any well-known martial art.  

Kenpo/Kempo  and Kajukenbo are good ones, too.  (judo and brazilian jujitsu are also great, but more effective for 1-on-1 fights. )

Although it really depends on the instruction.  I'd rather have excellent instruction in a "useless" martial art, than horrible instruction in an "effective" one. (because an excellent instructor would be able to make a "useless" art into an effective one)

To be honest the thing bullies pick up on most is the fear of being bullied. Theres a voice in my head that tells me to make fun of some people when i see them, not because of they're physical attributes, race or religion, i really dont know why. It takes some restraint not to.

One of the biggest things most martial do for people, even if not deliberate, is teach self confidence. When you see somebody walk down a corridor, not a care in the world, hes not going to be riddled. Its mostly people who carry themselves badly.

So, basically stop caring about what will happen when somebody starts on you, any martial art will do this for you, but whatever you do, don't stand up and say "go away, i know ******" Insert as you will.

If i was going to say which one would be best, id need a little more info, but judo is always a safe bet for responding to somebody. Boxing or muay thai if you want to dish a little back.

Hope what i said hits the mark.

Answer 5

In 5th grade you don't have to worry about bullies. They are poons. But, from the sound of it, you are too. Don't take that the wrong way I'm just saying.

Bullies find power in friends, thats the only time they are gonna try to mess with you. So, Catch one of them alone and give him one good hard smack to the head. I'm not even joking, smack the 5hit out of the boy. I know, that breaks rules and laws. But sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. With or without the consent of the local government. If you don't do something soon, you can expect to get picked on from now on out.

But, if a fight does start, I know you're just like any other 5th grader and your gonna want to wrestle and perform WWF moves on him. If you do this, you might as well openly embrace an @ss kicking because its gonna happen. You need to punch hard and in the head. And without training there is nothing I can tell you other than that. And despite this, if a fight does start you're proibably going to resort to headlocks and arm punches immediently anyways.

so youre going into 5th grade but your avatar has 12 o' clock shadow?   FAIL!!

Answer 7

I do a martial art that called Jeet Kune Do it was made by Bruce Lee and he made it realistic for street fighting. I learned it from his book Tao of Jeet Kune Do you should read it. I wish I could show you the moves, but the best I can do is tell you to get the book or look up jeet kune do up.  I hope I helped  

Answer 8

this kid is going into the 5th grade so he is like 10 why are you all telling him to fight?

if people are bullying you unless its physically you can ignore it as soon as they touch you you can fight back (when i say fight back i necesarily dont mean start punching and kicking) dont go around getting into fights because somone is bullying you, its just going to cause trouble for you it doesnt matter if they started it just ignore them.

if they are actually beating you up then you can defend but u sugest you dont throw punches because then if a teacher or soemthign sees you you will get in the same trouble there are other ways to defend yourself like locks and even subtle attacks. useing elbows are great because you can make it look like you are just trying to cover your head like a wimp but at the same time do some serious damage.

Just dont be stupid and hurt people because they are bullying you. dont hit anyone unless there is really no other way for you ot get away.

Answer 9

well all u have to do is just wait for him to push u or somthing then punch him in the face as hard as you can and keep on fighting him  

Answer 10

Learn Krav Maga, a self defense developed by the Israeli Defense Force, best self defense in the world, check locally if there are any instructors, they will not be anything like in Israel, but they will surely help you against bully's, however the best thing to do is ignore them, only fight if you MUST, you or your friends are threatened, dont start a fight over something stupid like a tease, they want you to fight, ignore there idiocy

Answer 11

I remember being at that age. The hard part is everybody telling you to solve things with words like adults do (Only later do you learn that adults are backing up those words with threats of nuclear warfare...).

The thing to realize is that, with bullies, it's never just you against one. They always have to have an audience, and someone is always willing to jump in and take their place. It's a fight you're not going to win without serious training, and most martial arts just aren't going to give it to you. I'll give you tips, but you're the one who has to fight and nobody can cover the 10,000 possible things that could change in the middle of a fight.

1.) Don't punch the guy in the face. Go look up an anatomy picture on google. See that big boney thing on top of your neck? That's your skull. Your bully has one too. His is probably denser, shielding what little brain he has from fatal injury. Punching the skull will compress the bones of your fingers which aren't all that strong anyhow, especially while you're growing. They'll probably break and you'll grow up with messed up looking fingers. Instead, open palm strikes with the base of the hand. Target the bottom of the chin and the nose.

2.) Slap. Guys expect to be punched. They don't expect to be slapped. Use that half-second to move in and strike with that palm heel.

3.) Take your index finger of your right hand and point at your left. Left hand grabs the index finger clear at the base and holds tight. Turn your left hand counter clockwise. Feel that nice pain in your finger? Now go practice on his finger. Finger locks can allow a much smaller person to control a much larger one.

4.) Fight dirty. Throw sand, dirt, rocks. Kick in the groin. Gouge eyes. Tear ears. Claw and scratch and bite and headbutt. When he's attacked you, he's given his consent for you to do whatever is necessary to walk away alive.

5.) When you have a clear escape route, use it. Don't stick around. Run. Sure, being a social outcast sucks. But doesn't getting pounded into oblivion suck worse? Fight only so long as you have to then get out of there to someplace safe.

Just remember kid: The second you start fighting, it's never going to stop. You beat one kid, you create the will for revenge in him or his friends or his family. Better than any of that, do some core training exercises (stabilizes your midsection which helps you stand up straight), hit a heavy bag a couple nights a week for a confidence boost, and otherwise find things that help you hold your head up high. When you can look at the world with that laid-back attitude that says you're comfortable with who you are, you'll have much less to worry about.

Good luck
