Tell me a martial art story that happened to you.?

Question

Hey.

Hey.

I am searching for a real story that happened to somebody that did a martial art and can tell me something that happened and how they used the martial art to defend themselves.

Or if you did a martial art and you found that you could not defend, say it.

But I want REAL stories that happened to people when they did a martial art and was USING this art to try to defend themselves.

TEll me what the art was, and tell me how far you came.

I am doing an analysis on it, and would be very happy for you to give me that opportunity to study theses stories.

My best.

Answer 1

When I was 17 (over 10 years ago) I had been taking Tang Su Do for about 2 years or so. I wasn't too bad. But when I got jumped I tried to do a side kick and misjudged distance. I just barely kicked the lead guy in the chest but it was weak, basically ineffectual. If I had judged distance properly this could have been a very nasty kick. Well, after that all five of them surrounded me and kicked me in the fetal position until they got tired. This was a very lousy experience but it did teach a sad lesson about martial arts: no matter how much you practice, your biggest enemy is going to be the fog and perceptual distortion that come along with any serious physical conflict. Changes everything.

If I were training and he were a bag or a sparring buddy, I would have landed that kick no problem - but in the emotional and physiological fog that come along with a fight, precision can go out the window. Bummer. Wish I could go back in time on that one.

Answer 2

Once I was in Karate, I was sparring with this person. He did an uppercut to my mouth and I forgot to block. Thats when my bracket on my braces fell off. My mouth hurt for days after and of course, I had to go to the dentist's.

I know this is not the most exciting story, but it is still a martial arts story that has happened to me...good luck with you're story

Answer 3

I have never been in a real fight, but I have used some of my techniques on friends if they are pissing me off. If they steal something and I give them 3 warnings to give it back, and I put them in a wrist lock or something :P

I currently take Taekwon-do, Kickboxing, MMA grappling

Answer 4

I've had to rely on my knowledge of aikido a few times before and most times with little ill effect.

I've put a few people in  a joint lock or neck lock and by exerting a little pressure and a little threat I got a long way.

the worse situation I have been in to date is about 1.5 years ago.  

Returning from having a drink with friends I witnessed a young girl being hassled by 5 older guys, and from the looks of things they didn't have good intentions.  I quickly got their attention and asked them to back off.  the leader of the group started mouthing off to me and threatened me with a beating.  I quickly returned to a strategy lesson I was taught by a teacher of mine and put the guy in a joint lock when he swung a punch at me I threatened the rest of the group to hurt him but of no avail one of his "friends" actually swung a knife at me while his friend was still in between us.  end result... one guy with a dislocated shoulder and one with a broken wrist.

I called the cops and those idiots actually tried to pin excessive force on me.

I was taught a wise lesson.

be careful with what you know the long arm of the law is not always as understanding as the rest of society
