(Yep, they're all behind me waving \"hello\" to you).\n\nHope you\u2019re enjoying our newsletter. As long as you\u2019re a\n\u2018Hotlist\u2019 member you will continue to receive these \u201cMan Skills\u201d\nupdates, (so consider yourself warned).\n\nToday let's explore what the \u201cmartial arts\u201d have to contribute to\nyour street survival skill-set.\n\nIt\u2019s important that you know this because there\u2019s been a kind of\nmyth floating around out there that \u201clearning how to fight\u201d and\n\u201cstudying martial arts\u201d are one-in-the-same.\n\nThey are not. (Which explains why your dojo-trained\nbrother-in-law had the snot beat out of him by a 100-pound\ncrack-head).\n\nSo here's what we'll look at today:\n<ul class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>True Martial Arts: Painting The Mona Lisa.<\/li>\n \t<li>MMA School Of Combat: The Arm-Chair Warrior.<\/li>\n \t<li>Martial Combat: Stopping The Bad Man.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!--more-->\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h3 class=\"red\">True Martial Arts<\/h3>\n<h4>Painting The Mona Lisa...\n(Across Someone's Face).<\/h4>\n\"True Martial Arts\" is really about learning an \u201cart\u201d -- a discipline -- for its own sake.\n\nIt's kinda like learning to sculpt or paint because you enjoy it as an artistic endeavor \u2013 not because you\u2019re interested in ever making a dime out of it. (Kinda like my niece who got her art degree so she could work as a waitress).\n\nMartial Arts \u201cBelt Factories\u201d (as named by the cynics), are what most people are familiar with -- and the Hollywood version is different than the reality.\n\nThe Hollywood version goes something like this: Some poor sap gets beat-up by an evil bully, so he signs up for karate lessons at a local dojo.\n\nFollowing a long video montage of slow-motion punching, determined teeth-clenching, extreme sweating, and flying roundhouse kicks, (which, by-the-way, never work in a real fight), he emerges from a Dojo tightening up his black belt. (In reality, he would also be 20-years older).\n\nSoon after he's kicking ass on the bully who crossed him, (who is also 20-years older and unable to remember what started all this).\n\nBoils down to this: True Martial Arts concentrate on discipline and complicated \u201cfine motor\u201d techniques.\n\nNothing wrong with that, other than that this kind of training flies straight out the window during the adrenaline dump of a real fight.\n\nWhich is why statistics show that your average \u201cstorefront\u201d black belt does not have a much better chance at winning a street fight than any other average guy.\n\nShocked? Don\u2019t be. Many martial arts techniques are simply no longer useful. Breaking pine boards in half, for example, was originally developed to train warriors how to shatter an opponent\u2019s protective wooden chest plate.\n\nI haven't seen many street tuffs wearing that, (but who knows, it may come back).\n\nAnd the high flying roundhouse kick was developed to knock a man off his horse, (although this might work for a guy on his Harley).\n\nPoint is, if you're interested in knowing some fast and effective tricks to winning a street fight, without all the fluff, your local dojo may not be the place. (Besides, the coffee in those places is terrible).\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-10 medium-centered large-11 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"red\">MMA School Of Combat<\/h3>\n<h4>The Arm-Chair Warrior...\n(Don't Forget The Chips, Please).<\/h4>\nYes, some guys imagine themselves to possess finely-honed fight skills because they watch a lot of MMA. (Another win! Man, I'm good. Any more beer?)\n\nThere are indeed MMA schools for \u201csport fight\u201d training. It's often tough, fairly realistic and brutal fight training... but it is NOT the same as studying street fighting.\n\nBecause Sport Fighting and Street Fighting have two different goals. In Street Fighting the goal is to \u201cend the threat as quickly as possible\u201d.\n\nIn MMA it\u2019s to \u201cmake money as quickly as possible\u201d. In other words, MMA fighters are paid entertainers. (Are you not entertained?)\n\nStatistics show that a typical street fight lasts only 3 to 8 seconds, (about the same time it took you to read this sentence).\n\nIf every pay-per-view \u201ccage\u201d fight was over within 3-8 seconds, promoters would lose their audience, their advertisers, and their a**, (also known as the 3-A's), fast.\n\nAnd that explains why there are no quick \u201cfight-ending\u201d moves allowed in the ring -- which is what a street fight is ALL about. I'll give you a list of the secret blacklisted moves in a bit. (Okay, so they're not all that secret).\n\nAnother thing: Promoters have got to take some effort to protect the fighters. (Why? They didn't do that in Rome.)\n\nMMA fights wouldn\u2019t be \u201csanctioned\u201d for long with a continuous stream of dead bodies being hauled out of the ring. For Pete's sake, we're not living in a Mad Maxx movie. (Not at least for 5 more years anyway).\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h3 class=\"red\">Martial Combat<\/h3>\n<h4>Stopping The Bad Man\n\nWith Moves That Actually Work.<\/h4>\nMartial Combat is training for real-world street-fighting. It has one goal in mind \u2013 to end the threat as quickly as possible. (That means duking it out with NO coffee breaks).\n\nThere are NO rules \u2013 and every confrontation could end in serious injury or death.\n\nHere are 16 moves that are outlawed in most sanctioned MMA fights -- but used in most street fights:\n<ol type=\"1\">\n \t<li>Eye gouging.<\/li>\n \t<li>Groin strikes (the ever-popular \u201csack-attack\u201d)<\/li>\n \t<li>Throat strikes (which can easily be lethal).<\/li>\n \t<li>Grabbing the trachea.<\/li>\n \t<li>Biting (alright\u2026 Tyson DID try this once).<\/li>\n \t<li>Clawing, twisting, or pinching the flesh.<\/li>\n \t<li>Stomping, kneeing or kicking a grounded opponent.<\/li>\n \t<li>Strikes to spine or back of head (also easily lethal).<\/li>\n \t<li>Striking downward, using the point of the elbow.<\/li>\n \t<li>Head butt (think of a \u201cbowling ball in the face\u201d).<\/li>\n \t<li>Hair pulling. (i.e. \"Fighting Like A Girl.\")<\/li>\n \t<li>Kicking the kidney with the heel.<\/li>\n \t<li>Grabbing the clavicle<\/li>\n \t<li>Small joint manipulations (such as fingers)<\/li>\n \t<li>Weapons and improvised weapons.<\/li>\n \t<li>Multiple attackers (except in WWF).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWhat wins a \u201cmatch-fight\u201d is strength, size, speed, endurance, and skill. (And paying-off the ref doesn't hurt either).\n\nIn \u201cpersonal combat\u201d or street fighting, it\u2019s the use of deception, distraction, disruption and destruction (the four Ds) that wins.\n\nThink about this. When Mike Tyson went to prison \u2013 they\nseparated him from the general prison population for his own\nprotection.\n\nWhy? I mean bad-ass Mike Tyson was the most feared Heavy Weight boxer at the time \u2013 what did he have to worry about?\n\nWell, even Tyson knew that the fight rules in prison were different than in the ring. In fact, just like on the streets, there are NO rules.\n\nAnything goes, and you\u2019ve got to be resourceful to survive.\n\nNow granted, some skinny little con would have little chance at beating a professional boxer in the ring under existing boxing rules. But a sport fighter who doesn\u2019t understand the big \u201cFour Ds\u201d is at a serious disadvantage in any street fight.\n\nThis is why size, strength, and endurance are not huge factors in a street fight \u2013 it\u2019s about your skills in the Four Ds.\n\nMore to come. So stay tuned.\n<p style=\"text-indent: 0px;\">Stay Manly,\n\n<img src=\"https:\/\/fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jimbo-Sig.jpg\" height=\"49px\">\nJimbo, Editor\nMan Skills<\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimbo here again on behalf of my business partner Bob Pierce and the rest of the crew.
