Hand to Hand Combat Beats Combat Sports

In terms of self defense, you should be extremely careful about what martial arts style you choose. Most forms will only make you an athlete and basically as ineffective at street fighting as being a basketball player would. Hand to Hand Combat styles are what you should look at if self defense, rather than competition, is your goal.

 

Hand to Hand Combat is a generic word for a collection of fighting styles that are effective from a military point of view. They may not be as pretty and flashy as some of the competition oriented martial arts. You may not be able to break as many boards while using them or snap your kicks as high. You will, however, be more likely to break choke holds and snap the elbows of your attacker.

 

When it comes down to it, the most effective forms for a street fight are the ones chosen by national military groups for their hand to hand training. It only makes sense, as these are chosen for survival in real combat rather than winning medals. When it comes to dealing with aggression on the street, it’s every bit as real as a combat situation. It’s survival, not competition.

 

Hand to Hand Combat is called by various names, from Close Combat to MOUT or MOOTW, depending on who you ask. For the unarmed variety, it can also be called “combatives.” Whether you’re talking about Krav Maga or Jiujitsu or Sambo, they’re all geared toward real combat, and real combat isn’t about how you flourish your kicks or how many boards you can break.

 

Real combat is ugly and brutal, and street fighting is no different. Your assailant is your enemy, and you can bet that he or she is not going to attack you by competition rules. You shouldn’t respond by competition rules either. No one is going to give you a medal or hold up a score card for your street fighting prowess. Your reward will be survival and keeping what they try to take from you.

Prepare for Combat $9.99 Traditionally, the martial arts community believed that engaging in weight training was detrimental to the performance of the art, that it would hinder one’s flexibility, speed, and agility. To be effective fighters, martial artists had to be quick and light on their feet like Bruce Lee and other slim and small, but powerful fighters. They maintained that karate was all about good techniques and proper timing and that muscle size has little to do with it. After all, the art of self-defense lies in the premise that smaller, weaker people can defend themselves effectively against larger, stronger opponents. While it’s true that good technique and proper timing are essential, there’s no reason to believe that muscular fitness will hinder a martial artist’s effectiveness. In fact, just the opposite is true: with increased strength comes the enhanced ability to defend oneself. A well-designed weight-training routine--in addition to regular martial arts practice--will make practitioners stronger, not slower. In some cases, it can even improve their speed. Fortunately, the attitude toward weight training in the martial arts community has changed--largely due to an abundance of scientific data showing the positive effects of weight training for all kinds of sports. Today’s athletes have much to gain by using weights to improve their performance. For martial artists, these gains include increased strength, increased resistance to fatigue, and even decreased risk of injury. In Prepare for Combat, veteran martial artist and fitness expert Mikhail Krupnik shows readers how to design a weight-training program to fit their individual needs and goals. From all-important safety issues, determining one’s level of fitness, and setting goals, to specific exercises, sample routines, and even proper nutrition--he covers everything martial artists need to know to enhance their performance with weight training.
