I was beat up...?

Question

ok i need to learn self defense but i cant offord lessons so can u guys jus post a quick info about how to defense yourself the info i need i need is how to defend yourself from punches and kicks and mayb throws.last year i was beat up in school because i was chinese by bullies and last month i saw the bully again and he had has friends in the street the punched me down and dragged me to a alley and started beating me up i was helpless i tried to fight back but i got steep pipe to the face.

Answer 1

That's not something you can really learn, u just have to know how to handle it or not.  If you can't pay for MMA training i advise having some kind of weapon with you or you should always have a large group of friends with you.  

I wish i could help you out more because from the sound of this guy I'd really love to beat the h**l out of him.  I can't stand punk *** bullies, but i hope you can work through it bro.  Good luck.

Answer 2

okay i need some details i got some tatics on this

or just tell

is there a leader in the group?

if yes then when he is beating you up fall to the ground get into a ball and put your elbows sides of your head and then he comes down to hit you get up fast and get him in the chin

then do some punches until he gives and then the group is gone

self-defense is mostly tatics

Answer 3

it is hard to do moves without a partner or teacher................

Try going to the dojo and ask if you can get lessons for doing work...........tell him your problem.

good luck.........

Answer 4

you got to learn thai boxing its a good way to teach them a lesson because its using your knees and elbows

Answer 5

All I can say....... Please do not "get a knife" but instead do this. Get a brother, dad grandpa , friend, to teach you how to punch properly, and to execute some power out of it. (said before me)

This is not what you want to hear, but there is no fast way to learn how to defend yourself,  but hurting the guy bad enough to stop him is probably your best defense.    I would say if you are ever "ganged up on" use any dirty fighting techniques you can use.   Groin kicking, eye gouging, elbows , stomps, anything dirty.  Try to stay on your toes and I wish you the best .

PS, the best defense is avoiding the situation altogether.

Answer 6

you get a gang so when bullies come up to you you have a gang and beat them up . man inever got beat up im small but strong.

Answer 7

Carry a knife.

Answer 8

Just run. Otherwise tell someone whats going on. Beating you up because of your race is a serious issue. Those kids need some help before the problem gets worse. As far as defending yourself just keep your hand in front of your face at all times. If you punch keep the other hand in front of your face. keep leaned back so its harder to hit you and if they tackle you you are pretty much screwed. If your fighting multiple people your best bet is to run. But seriously talk to someone older about this problem otherwise it wont stop

Hope this helps

Answer 9

If you were beat up for being Chinese, that is a 'hate crime'. This beating needs to be reported to your principal, the school board, and possibly the police and your local news reporters. Don't think that you're being a tattletale because someone beat you up because you are Asian. What you have described is race-based violence. It is totally unaceptable and it needs to be dealt with before the boys who beat you up become adults who beat and kill people based on their race. This is a very serious issue. Contact the proper authorities at once!

Answer 10

I agree with ksnake 10 if you are being truthfull than this is the best course of action, even if you don't mind being beat in alleyways maybe some little asian girl from your area wouldn't like this to happen to her becasue she is asian. ALso if you wnat to take this farther becasue it sounds like you are in a rough neighborhood you should learn an art and stick together with your asian family and friends and make your neighborhood safe. Look up Kajukenbo becaue i think this is what made them start this in Hawaii back in the day, It was dnagerous so they had to form an art for their situation and stick together for good. Fortunately my city isn't so bad but  it is getting worse and these seemingly random murders and crimes are actually the warning signs of a growing disease that is hate, drugs and gangs and it can turn into a plague. There must be stgtrong people who will fight for light and not darkness. The police are one of these but there must also be community leaders and groups who figth against, drugs, gangs and all the evil that is being breed in Cities across the nation. So as an Asian stick with your people. I am 1/4 Japanese so I feel lost but I know what is right, and I know the minorities who are the prevalent gang menbers, drug delaers, leaches and criminals are not my people.

Answer 11

I seriously doubt that things went this far just because your chinese (you have my full sympathy if what you say is true).

How have you not called the cops yet? This is beyond simple school bullying if what you say is true. This is your life in danger. You need to tell the police, because if they bring weapons, it will take some serious self defense if your by yourself. TELL SOMEONE. These kids need to be locked up for awhile.

Im kinda doubting this whole thing anyway, cause, how have you not called the police yet, because your makin it sound like this kid is still a problem. Did that steal pipe to the head make you stupid? (sorry if this hurts your feelings, and if all this is true, im sorry for these last few statements)

Answer 12

hi.  all you need is to learn sum grappling and jujutsu.   jus go to google n type in.. MMA triangle choke (neck lock?) and MMA armbar (elbow lock). they're very deadly.   n goto youtube watch this show called... human weapon. it shows u how to do sick moves.   also watch sum 'jeet kune do' concept lessons and jeet kune do demo on youtube.   Bruce Lee was the founder of JKD, he had a massive understanding of street fights.    AND! watch sum of Royce Gracie in the early UFC videos.     therez this cool as jujutsu video. type jujutsu demo in youtube and watch the first vid.  

'human weapon' will show u everything u need to know... like kung fu/sanda take downs.  the techniques r easy to learn.  good luck

Answer 13

Dude even if we did post stuff to do its not going to be thats not going to be that beneficial because anyone can watch a move done on TV but you actually have to be able to manuever the move if you want to do it. If your able to hide for 3 months then try going to the gym in that time but I dont think you have that much time. You should try joining some kind of group in your school which would have your back in situations like that or you could do something for someone you know is stronger than the bully (ie his homework) and he could protect you in return.

Answer 14

unless your Jet Lee or something carry a knife

Answer 15

Report it to the authorities, and you may want to take up whatever martial art is available BUT if your ethnicity works to your advantage, your family know people who know people, learn a style of Kung Fu.  If it survived to modern times, then its effective.

Answer 16

If it was done on school grounds, report it to the school authorities. If it was done off of school grounds, report it to the police.

You are talking about a criminal offense here.

As for the "carry a knife" suggestion...

Unless you can use it well enough to be sure that it can not be taken from you and used against you, I would strongly advise AGAINST such an action.

Walk with other people.

Here is the sequence of actions if you are alone:

1. Avoid him

2. Walk away

3. Run away

4. Call out for help

If you are SURE that you can use it...

5. Find a weapon for yourself (stick, pipe, etc.) and target your assailant's groin, hands, knees, ankles or collar bone.

Answer 17

if they are on top of you then grab their kidney area

its around their back

and squeeze the fat out of it

not only they will let go but they wont be able to stand up and urinate for a while

Answer 18

You need good eyes, speed, power, reflex, etc. You really think telling you how to fight and defend is going to get you anywhere? Knowledge alone will never get you anywhere especially with martial arts.

You gotta be better than average to be able to just defend yourself and not fight back with multiple opponents. The best defense is to fight back for most people and I suggest you the same method since I doubt you can just evade multiple attackers at the same time. That's actually harder to do especially depending on the situation. If you don't want to go to any gym, buy some training equipments and put some muscles on.

Answer 19

This is the crappiest advice I've ever freakin' seen ...... look kid do you have a dad or a uncle or a older brother around?  if so let them know how you feel man.  I'm sure they can give you some fairly decent pointers.

As far as not being able to afford it I haven't seen one person in here say, "Try instructional DVD's". Although you can't afford schooling.  My hearts breakin' for ya kid.

Too many people knock instructional DVD's, but if they were good enough for the likes of UFC's Even Tanner then they're good enough for you.  You can find these DVD's through doing a search engine search for key words like "jujitsu self defense instructional DVD"

I've heard "Walk Away" from a "Top Contributor" in "Physics" no doubt...sure while you're getting punched over and over.  Then I've heard "Get a knife"....... yeah right like anyone wants to go to jail duh!!!!!  "Join a street gang"........ only no skill p*ssies need so much back up.......All these people are giving sh*tty advice man.

Instructional DVD's are step by step technique execution learning tools and aides and they're resonably priced at any where from $30.00 to $50.00 or so.....a decent birthday or Christmas gift to say the least.

There are alternative ways of learning self defense you just have to be willing to stick with it man ..... it's a lifestyle not a hobbie bro.

Good luck

Answer 20

RUN!!! you CANNOT fight a group of people. i don't care who you are.

there is no shame in running if its going to save your behind.

dont carry a knife, thats a deadly weapon and just may put you in jail or prison. (alot of people who dont know how to use them are just as, or more dangerous than those who do)

just run. and start studying some type of self defense. only a fool would stand and fight a group of people. and they are all cowards for ganging up on you but thats life in the street. and you can tell em i said that.

dont walk alone...always be with other people if possible. or go into a store or shop. they drag you into an alley so noone can see.

always let someone know where you are...where you're going so if you're say more than 15 minutes late...they know to call someone.

1 be with other people.

2 do not stand and fight them, you will lose. period. RUN!!

3 do not do anything stupid like get a gun or knife. you are likely to only hurt yourself, or have it taken away from you. even with a knfe you can only cut one person at a time...they will still get you.

4 let someone know you are on your way to this or that place. and approx what time you will be there. if you are 15 minutes late...they will call the school or police to look for you.

5 get to a self defense class.

not necessarily in that order

some will call this "cowardly"...i call it smart survival!

is a fox that runs from a tiger a coward? no..he's saving his life because he's smart enough to know he can't defeat a tiger.

Answer 21

Find a dojo, boxing gym, or YMCA within a reasonable distance for you to travel to.  Go talk to the head instructor, tell them what's going on, and ask them if they can refer you to a seasoned, advanced student who may be able to train you in trade for chores, cleaning, mowing, or something like that.  

Martial artists are good, hard working people, many who have been in a situations with bullies as kids.  They are more than apt to help a young person with some dedication and initiative.

Work on your athleticism too.  Even if it doesn't detour bully's maybe at least it can help you get and keep away from them.

****************

Stay away from gangs.  Their lifestyles are centered around selfishness.  You don't want that.  You want a happy life where you treat people the way you want to be treated. Gang members are just general weak losers that think they're something special because they say things like vato vato and larassa.  Once they're adults, they have nothing.  The respect they so violently enforced as teenagers is gone.  When they're not in jail, they're working crappy jobs, relying on their families to support them, and just generally living crappy lives.  And when you're in a gang and you go to jail, guess what?  That gang exists in jail too and you automatically become the gang girlfriend since you're the newbie.  Don't do the gang thing.

A knife?  Common - haven't there been enough dumbass teenagers who have brought weapons to school for this millennium?

Answer 22

Dude you gotta report this kind of stuff! tell the cops and you ll be having a laugh when he gets put behind bars. For you though, id carry I knife. Intimidates the h**l outta ppl coming near you so whip it out and watch him run....but this can backfire. Iv seen ppl pull out knives and try to scare them off only to realise the other person ALSO has a knive and is better at using it. So this turned into a knife fight and the victim of the bullying got stabbed twice. So if you know the guys name tell the cops...otherwise get all your friends to hang around you more. Oh yea you said the guys had a pipe. Ummmmmm I really recommend you go to a self defence class. Save up for it...there worthit.
