I'm going to get in to some personal shit here today. I am far less concerned about doxing since I'm going to have to go back into tech support.

I am seeing a lot of assaults being posted here.

I cannot teach you how to defend yourself over the web. I don't know everything. I can't walk on water. I'm not looking to start a flame war about which punch is better for what. I want to share info. Help each other out.

I believe that as time wears on these attacks will become even more socially acceptable and more prevalent than they already are. I hope I'm wrong.

The focus of this discussion will be real world self defense strategy, tactics and techniques.

RUN! Always run! Run to stay in shape so you can bounce!

I was born blind in one eye bc my mother tried to kill me and my twin in the womb. She succeeded with him.

Bc of this I was hunted for sport as a child by other children.

Two packs: 1 of 20 kids and 1 of 19 kids. 37 total from the time I was ages 7-12. The biggest, oldest and meanest was the Leader. He was only in charge of the pack at home. He was 12 and I was 7 when he started this shit on me. He tried to kill his whole family at one point. His little brother was in charge of the pack at school. He was my age. The kids in the pack were as young as 6. NO SHIT< cussing, drinking, smoking, fighting, riding scout and messenger on a bike. Fast little fucker. There was also some dude ~25 that I think was their dealer. He wasn't a local though. Most were always around my age to 5 years older. My dad was making too much money dealing to move.

I estimate I had ~200 fights from ages 3-~16? With up to 17 guy at once one time. I was attacked at 3 yo by three bullies aged from 9-12. They threw rocks at me. And called me cyclops. I did what any 3 yo would. I cried. My dad cam out and ran them off. And then started training me.

When I got to where I could stand toe to toe with 3-5 kids (depending on how good they were) they started coming at me in 5-10. I got my ass kicked a lot. I learned a lot. One day I snapped when I got jumped by all 17 at school bc they wanted to play cops and robbers with me as the punching bag!!!

I put 9 in the ER. The rest went home.

I went back to class. I went back with my blind eye swollen shut, my good eye blacked, lips split, nose caked shut with dried blood, clothes tattered, scrapped and bleeding from a dozen minor wounds and limp dragging my right leg.

BUT BY GOD I WAS THE ONLY FUCKIN ONE INVOLVED TO GO BACK TO CLASS THAT DAY AND THE NEXT THREE DAYS; WHICH WAS THE REST OF THE WEEK!

Those fucking pussies didn't come back till Monday. My old man made me push through to the weekend. And, of course, the older brother Leader gang had to get revenge. Riding a bicycle like a gifted mad man hanging on for dear life as this bike flew along underneath me I got away from him after he tried to cut me with a broken beer bottle. (Hand ball is a good drill!)

I was raised by a bat shit crazy, strung out, Vietnam era Marine who got his head seriously fucked and was paranoid as shit. It didn't help that he ran with bikers and sold dope after doing a lot of drugs while doing a lot of shit in Vietnam that haunted him as long as I knew him.

I haven't spoken to him in more than 20 years. I heard he finally got cleaned up. But that was a long time ago? So who knows now?

I stayed away from that shit. I went square in rebellion to him. But I saw a lot of shit.

As y'all know I broke my neck.

I went out on my birthday last year. I was still smoking my pot back then. (Don't do that. Make Tea!) So I rode the bus. Three bangers ~15 yo made a move at the bus stop. I ran like the wind. (At least my ego said so.) Hurt my lungs. Quit smoking. Fortunately they were in worse cadio shape than I was. (Probably smoked a lot more weed than me! LOL)

I figured if that's how the world is going to play I better go learn. I found a kwoon. It's a very interesting place. I am learning aspects of Jeet Kune Do, Kali, modern Wing Chun, basic boxing / kick boxing / Muay Thai. I've been blending that with my own personal experience, my coaches adivice, lots of drills and practice, devolving my own arsenal of tools that are based on my skill set and abilities. Feel free to borrow, reject or share what you like.

Have your head on a swivel. Watch what you say, how you say it, who you say it to. OpSec. Always be aware. I personally don't drink any more due to gut issues. But I love marijuana tea. And I stay my ass home! As far as I go is my pool to exercise! Period!

Always be sober in public. Be aware. Drive defensively. Not all violence directed at you is bc your MGTOW. You have to look out for dumb shit like road rage too.

Walk away. RUN! HAVE GOOD CARDIO< JET < BOLT< BOUNCE. Be smart about it. Train to hop a 4ft wall. Scoop a landscape rock. Get creative quickly. MOVE, turn, smash!

RUN, he may have friends on the way.

If you get blitzed, tangle in legs, FIRE ROLL!!!!!!

FIRE ROLL AND GRAB> ALLIGATOR ROLL! GET ON YOUR BACK< WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND YOUR HEAD AND NECK< CURL UP A BIT< HOOK AND KICK ANKLES< ROLL WITH THEM< BRING THEM DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL>

HARD! FAST. (Better yet, try not to get hit or end up on the ground. Run. If they are dumb enough to chase then hurt the silly things. Nobody runs like me. Well, very few any way. If you're a thug your probably gonna party a lot and eat like shit. I eat *strictly* organic. I do a 30 min full body HITT drill once a week at the gym. Plus a bunch of other stuff. People think I'm insane when I work out. They tell my buddies that I am going to kill them. Being in damn good shape can cover a lot of deficiencies. But it's not a cure all. There are always limitations after injuries. Figure out how to work around them.

I fight right-handed southpaw. Always keep your stronger, most powerful and coordinated weapons between yourself and your attacker if you can.

Nut strikes. Spin. Keep your feet between your head and their feet if you're knocked down. Sweep legs. Get back to your feet. Run if you can. Hide if you can, but don't stop moving for a long time. Don't leave a trail. Take the long ways in the shadows. Be prepared to run in to weird shit in alleys.

If you're trapped and there is nowhere to run:

Krav Maga has some interesting ideas about close up, multiple attacker that I like. I especially like that the real thing includes firearms training and disarms. I have not taken that class yet. I want to though.

Keysei(?) Fighting System (from the Batman / Black Knight series) has some interesting things to say on that subject as well.

I am fond of the big punch, palm strikes, eagle claw, elbows and knees (throwing and breaking), the stepping cross, the liver punch, the throat punch, ear drum slaps, eyes, always moving, hitting high/low/h/lh/lh/l/h/l. I would love to be able to do savate kicks, but I am not coordinated enough after the tbi and breaking my neck. I do however have a fucking nasty front snap. I can knock the 400# water tower boxing dummy slap the fuck over when I do it as a stepping kick! And I am DAMN GOOD it with an instinctive third-eye nut shot. I have accidentally popped a couple of instructors at the kwoon, some multiple times when they press me really hard. Everyone is learning to guard their nuts! Cups are mandatory now!

I use a walking stick bc ya know, some times I still have balance issues after breaking my neck, and hell I am blind in one eye and I have medical proof of a broken neck on my phone, and I did anti-terrorist / civilian contract LEO security for 20 years. I know how things work. No one is going to give me shit about having a 3 foot piece of cured and occasionally honey waxed Ash in my hand.

I have 308 felony detentions. I didn't have arrest powers, just hold. But I could thump you if you acted up! HARD! And then hold you. And then when the officer showed up you got arrested. If you weren't already dead. Or after they caught up to you / us at the ER.

I was never arrested.

I was always a good guy simp dumbass servant slave shield weapon trying to save the whamyns, chitterlings, puppies, ponies, princesses and all other manner of helpless creatures.

But you don't get out of these kinds of fights Scott free.

If you get in a knife fight you will get cut. No matter how much you believe in the Matrix!

RUN< JUMP THE WALL< GRAB A ROCK..................

Water Kung Fu in waist deep water is damn good exercise. I'm going to go do some.

That's enough for now.

Take it for what you will.

If nothing else it was original and a good read.

And kiss my ass on any typos.
