Kickboxing Street Fights
Is Full-Contact Kickboxing good for the street?
Hello, I would like to know if the sport full-contact kickboxing is good for the street or for self-defense. If you’re unfamiliar with the name, I’m referring to the “american” version of kickboxing, where fighter’s use pants and the rules doesn’t allow kicks below the waist, neither elbows or knees. Maybe it’s not as good as muay thai or mma, but do you still consider it good for self-defense or street fights?
Against a single clueless guy yes! If you faced a mean and skilled adversary, you might get knocked out. Against someone who knocks you to the ground, you’re toast. Against someone with a weapon, you could lose your life. Against a bunch of attackers, good luck.
Please remember what you are referring to is American kickboxing which is a SPORT. In sport fighting you have rules, regulations and a ref. In the street there are no rules and regulations and certainly no ref to stop the action and separate you. While I’m not saying a certain kick or punch can’t stop an attacker, no one can guarantee it would work either. Do not get lulled into that state of mind. There are many many other factors involved in a street situation.

The Real Secret Of The Dim Mak Kung Fu Death Touch
[I:http://www.aikido-judo-karate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/AlCase1.jpg] Let’s be honest, in my giving you The Real Secret of the Dim Mak Poison Hand Death Touch, there’s going to be a few people who like what I say, and there’s going to be a few people who don’t like what I say. Well, fantasies die hard, but the truth is always better in the long run. The truth, when it comes to using the death touch to kill people, is not all it is knocked up to be.
In the first place, this knowledge exists, but it is extremely hard to find a teacher, and to be accepted as a student is really hard. You have to have actually studied a few kung fu styles, you have to have an letter from a Kung Fu Master. And that is no guarantee that you will be accepted as a student.
In the second place, one must question the value of studying such a rare and difficult art. It will take years to gain the knowledge and to be able to actually use it in a fight. Quite honestly, the time spent learning the death touch you could spend learning other arts.
And, what is more valuable? The ability to touch somebody and have him go off and die three days later at the appointed hour? Or to get so good at other arts that nobody could get close enough to you to even try a dim mak?
To learn the Dim Mak one will be studying acupuncture, but not the normal science. You will not learn to alleviate disease, but rather to cause the body to go into disharmony. This means that you will have the double study of learning the right way to do things, and the wrong way.
You will also have to learn certain things about the time of day that you can apply this art. You could touch somebody with your digits, but if it is the wrong time of the day, or even week, the trick is wasted. This means you are going to have to learn all sorts of things about the life cycle of the inner parts of the body, and how these organs relate to the trigger points on the outside of the body.
Look, I’m about done here, and you’re free to do what you want, but let me tell you one little tale of a real death touch. Certain ninpo arts teach how to wear ring needles (and other types of gimcracks). They coat the needle with a deadly poison, then cover the needle with wax.
They can poison anybody and cause death, but they are safe to themselves and their friends. Now this is a real art that I am telling you, but one that doesn’t take decades to learn and use. And that is about all I have to say on the subject of the real secret of the kung fu dim mak death touch.
Al Case began practicing the martial arts in 1967, and became a writer for the magazines in 1981. If you want some really cooltricks, mouse over to his website, Monster Martial Arts.
