My Sifu specifically mentioned this to us, he also talks about spacing and timing(avoiding notoriously dangerous places). It works.
The only time i get into fights is if someone attacks me outright; i strongly feel someone is going to attack me; someone attacks my family/friends or a vulnerable person(like a girl/child/elder).
But i get pissed when some guys just stare at my sister and don’t quit. She’s told me to not bother with it, but it really pisses me off.
Am i wrong for feeling like i should tell them to quit it?
I wouldn’t go around beating people up for this though-that would be stupid.
Also i have to comment: people who go too far in fights. Do you guys realise kicking a guy in the groin can EASILY kill him?
If someone tried that with me i would take it personally and take that guys head off(i’ve been in a few fights, sometime against 4 guys bigger than me and won,but i did have a 5 foot wooden stick with me lol-although i’m no superman).
The best thing is always to avoid a fight, i’ve been out on the town drinking with friends and been challenged and i always say “your the best” and so on to calm them down and shut them up. I really don’t understand why people try to prove themselves by starting fights.
sifu you need to not be so serious. I do agree with the comment you made about avoiding dangerous places.

I feel you. I try not to be too serious but I have seen a lot of bad things. You are right about staying out of dangerous places. Just remember the court system can be a dangerous place also.
ie I have a friend whose cousin was in a bar fight with a guy and kicked his ass. The guy gets up off the floor and says I’m going to shoot you mother fucker and reaches around his back like he is going for a gun. My friends cousin pulled a gun of his own and shot him dead. It turned out the guy didn’t have a gun, so my friends cousin ended up getting 25 to life for murder. The bit with the knife reminded me of that.
I actually do enjoy Bas sense of humour, he is quite funny. I do wonder how seriously some people take that video though.
I’ve never seen someone shot, your in the USA then?
Damn i’ll be a lot more careful there if that is the kind of shit that goes on over there!
The most we have in the UK is knives, which is of course not a joke either.
watch with no sound it starts to look a lot better.
ive seen someone firing an uzi down my road where the hell are you from of coures we have guns in the u.k.
I’ve lived in Staffordshire and London for many years.
I do avoid areas like Hackney, Brixton and Peckham.
Gun possession is illegal in the UK. They are not as common as the USA or Canada.
Where are you from in the UK?
Sifu and Xen Nova are the best posters on this forum.
Let it be known.

Bas has quite a sense of humor. Though it is not too bright to make such a video even for the purpose amusing people.
I’ve seen you mock BJJ as sport fighting, now I see you take issue with Bas for teaching ‘dangerous’ techniques…any consistency in your posting or do you just disagree with anything that doesn’t fit your mindset?
I don’t mock BJJ, when I get more time, money and some injuries are cleared up I’ll probably join a class, even though I already do know a lot of joint locking and grappling. It is a good skillset to have even if there is dirty wrestling that can be used against it.
If you read my post you would see that my point is using weapons to inflict massive injuries on someone in a fight is a good way to get your ass thrown in jail or get sued.
I know quite a few adults who have been sued, had to pay out a lot of money, spent time in jail, now have a CRIMINAL RECORD and as a result now have to bite their tongue, walk the other way or even avoid the kinds of places were they may get into trouble altogether…
It’s not the 1960’s anymore and we are not in high school. In the adult world there are consequences.
Almost all of that video is the kind of stuff you would do only if it was a matter of serious injury, or life or death. It’s not exactly basic self defense even though it is passed off as basic self defense.
That surprise throat slash with a knife technique is a recipe for spending the rest of your life in the department of corrections. Bas goes from talking to throat slashing with a knife in an instant. It is something to be on guard for though.
Just look at how viscious that serrated hook knife he used looks. It’s a fighting knife not a regular knife. To a cop or a judge that would make you appear that to be out looking for trouble, especially when you are wearing a martial arts T shirt like Bas was.
Believe it or not in a self defense situation appearences can be important especially with witnesses. Martial arts T shirt, fighting knives do not look good. Then there is also your opponent. If you repeatedly smash the other guys face into the corner of a table and mutilate him instead of maybe kneeing him unconscious and not leaving much of a mark it isn’t going to look good for you.
Watch Judge Mathis sometime. I remember when he had to decide damages in an assault case he took one look at the victims photos said Oh my God gave the victim all the damages he asked for.

I don’t doubt any of this. I don’t fight outside of the gym anymore, it isn’t worth the effort or the potential repercussions. But, Bas’ video is put forth as self-defense. He isn’t advocating that you go out and pick fights with people utilizing what he’s showing.
