My buddy got jumped

Leave it to Wideguy to recommend committing a potential Felony! (Shaking head).

That sucks. In Texas you could shoot him. There is none of that bullshit about using equal force. In fact, you could even shoot him here if you found him in the act of keying your car’s paint.

Muay Thai for standup

BJJ for when the shit hits the floor

Tell your buddy to look into Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee’s martial arts) and integrated Kali systems, mixed grappling and combat submission wrestling.
Basically this is Ultimate Fighting at it’s finest.
He’ll be one bad assed mother fucker no matter his size if he masters these skills.

Also. tell him to call the cops and press charges against this prick.

I have been jumped once in my life. At school there was this complete ass who every day THOUGHT he could just push me around because he was bigger. He is only heavy in the waist and lite in the brain;)He was about 5’10" I’m about 5’10" 5’11" at the time. And weight a good 15 to 20 lbs. heavier in muscle mass. Last year this lil’ bitch thought that he could punch my in the gut and get away with it.
I have taken two years of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu my-self and one time even taken down my instructor. (He is a purple belt).
So when the fuck hit me it didn’t surprise me cause I was used to the crap. As he hit I rep’ed my ab’s as if doing a crunch then palm striked him in the uppper chest, knocking the wind out of him. I snached his nose and brought him forward (so his upper body was parrallel to the ground, then elbow dropped him in the upper back.
If done right this should keep him from getting up for about five minutes. The strike strenght is light to moderate. If the inital hit to the chest is done too low you could break the Xiphoid Process. Sending it into the liver. And possably killing him. If the back strike is done too hard or in the upper neck, you could run the risk of severing the spinal cord and killing him or making him a parapalegic for life.
Needless to say I haven’t been jumped and two of my friend asked to train with me and practice MA together.

And the moral of this story is…

Move to Texas and buy a gun!
Kickass!!!

Leave it to Zeb to overlook all the other people saying to blast this motherfucker.

dude, i don’t know if you’ve seen your own pictures in the photo forum, but you’re a fucking gorilla. get his back and have another guy or 2 armed with bats.

i’m a relatively big guy and recently got jumped by 2 small guys but managed to run away after only being hit 2-3 times. shit happens.

in your case you know who did it and theres a good chance you can beat this fucker to death by yourself since you’re a monster

I know it keeps coming back to martial arts, but it takes time to become proficient enough to defend yourself. If you feel that is the best way to go, Isshinryu is a very good style to study. It is based on Okinowan street fighting and is designed to fight off opponents who blind side you. Plus once you get good at it you can do some real damage to a person.

Well for one I would have to say that learning jiu-jitsu or greco roman wrestling as a means of street defense is almost not worth your time. Both are sport specific styles of “fighting” that work really well if there is a ref or a point system, but if you are in an alley and 2 guys are coming at you the last thing you want to do is be on the ground. There is a post above about a fighting system that the NAVY SEALS train. I have personally been taught a system of street defense fighting that the SEALS have trained called Rapid Assault Tactics, which is essentially the same shit that the above poster described. It is essentially the streamlining of various traditional martial arts into what works and what is necessary for street defense situations. I personally know a woman who is 5’4 and 125lbs who can annihilate 2 huge lifters who were coming at her. Your buddy should really consider checking out this type of fighting. You can learn about it from a book called “anatomy of a streetfight” by a dude named Paul Vunak who was actualy one of the guys who trained the seals and has years of REAL fighting experience. To basically sum up, it doesn’t matter how much you can bench press in a fight if someone has just gouged out your eyeball, elbowed you twice and delivered a skull cracking assisted headbutt in less then 3 seconds. Strength is quite far down the list when it comes to skills necessary to be a good fighter.

go break that fuckers legs. get medieval on his ass: bats, clubs pliars, blowtorch etc
he wont fuck you up if he cant walk.
needless to say blind side him, maybe with some other lads and make sure he dont see your faces.
also remember cops are dumb and lazy.

Wideguy
Just out of curiosity whats the piano wire for? Are you proposing to garotte the fucker?!

I would wear clothes that I would burn after, I’d also take CS gas just in case. The gel stuffs pretty good outdoors. Buy some of those steel shot filled sap gloves too, guaranteed knock out, save your hands too.

Oh yeah and some steel toe caps would be a plus.

Wideguy look again!

For the most part there are recommendations for this guy to learn to defend himself, either physically or legally, not unreasonable adivice. You, on the other hand, are telling him to buy a mask, leather gloves and piano wire! Do you see the difference?

Do you realize that if this guy kills someone you could be hauled into court? Not to mention the moral issues. When someone posts something like this you are often times getting only a partial story. This is a message board!

Think! Use some good jugement!

READ THIS!The best thing for your friend to do is to learn KRAV MAGA.If you go with him it is even better HE WILL LEARN SELF DEFENSE QUICKLY, compared to other sistems.My advise is to tell the instructor to bee a bit more
demanding on him early on, if necessary.
ANOTHER THING: Get a telescopic bat, you can find it at some sport stores, and marcial store. It is legal on any state (I think) and the sonavabitch will get hurt, I garantee it :wink:

Since I am in a profession in my state that allows me to carry a firearm or whatever else I want to defend myself my advise is kinda one sided…He needs to take some one day self defense classes …there are a few here not sure up there…They only teach basics of how to save your ass…then find him and pepper spray the bastard & while he’s blind beat the dog crap out of him!! Long term learn Tai Boxing (fists, knees and elbows) real close to street fighting…Or quick solution how much $ does he have If the price is right I will make the trip to take care of his problem…(JUST JOKING)

Thanks for the advice guys. Lumber, I would take care of it myself and wouldn’t have a problem doing it but cannot take the risk of getting caught and having a criminal record.I think the best advice is coming from the guys that have posted regarding self defense/street fighting technique classes. I can hold my own but he is the one that is going to be looking over his shoulder for quite some time. Actually if he is up to I’ll probably take the classes with him just to help round out my fitness level/flexibility.

Stunt~ what is a telescopic bat? Please edumacate me…

tell him to hire a ninja.

China,

It’s a baton that’s about a foot long until you crack it on the ground and then it expands to about 3 feet.
It works basically like a penis. Compact until it’s ready for use.

Muscle,

Did you check out any of those schools yet? BJJ is fun as hell. I don’t really practice it with the idea that its going to save my ass in a fight. To me, it’s just a good workout, fun and competitive.
It carries over into self defense nicely though. I’d hate to try and submit a guy that rows the kinda weight you do.
