Wow, I am in my mid-thirties now and finally learning how to fight. It touches something deep inside me and ... heals some bad memories (of feeling powerless in aggressive situations) from my teenage years.
I feel empowered and deeply satisfied by this practice.
What do you folk think:
Does a man have to know how to fight - not least to defend his family?
What style/practice/sport is best for self-defense and fighting skills?
What did start to do? I wanted to learn krav maga, but then I moved and here is unfortunately no place to learn it
Indeed it is KravMaga at the moment. And I want to try boxing soon.
MMA (mixed martial arts) is the best all around fighting style, but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seems to me one that is quite effective and a lot of nice people in my experience. What fighting style are you learning?
Well, living im a very rural area, choice is limited. However, there is a small Krav Maga place, located in the basement of a car dealer (authentic vibes!). So this is where I have started foe now. And they offer boxing sometimes, wanted to give that a try, roo.
I’ve only heard about Krav Maga, it’s self defense not sport afaik. Probably a good choice, and most important are the people you train with.
Well, I suppose you are right. Its mainly techniques, even tactics at times, however its been my entry point. And its goooood fun :-)
I guess you might be right. Its a lot about techniques and tactics.
guns, ipsc to practice
