Hey. I'm a small dude and I need a fighting style. I'm pretty weak and would like to be able to dodge stuff and hit hard. Please help.
Muay Thai. I think it's spelt like that T3T It's kick boxing + jumping like a maniac + elbows + being fast. Yeps - it's awesome.
Krav Maga - it's about taking your oponent down with fast and devastating blows. It's dirty and allows the use of weapons like knife or staff apart fom your body, but also teaches how to use your surroundings to harm your foe. It's used in Israel army and it's used to kill people during a war... I think it's best for self defense, and you don't have to be strong to (NO!) or to kick somebodys throat...
I'm 13. I'm only doing this cause someone I know and hate threatened me on facebook (See! It causes problems!)... He said he'd snap me in half... and cause I want to be able to stand up for myself in other situations too.
As you say you are small I recommend Jeet Kune Do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeet_Kune_Do If you can kind a teacher you will learn how to be very fast, very agile and know where and how to strike properly and effectively. Ignore Rysio's suggestion about knives, I am sure this person is not worth you going to jail for.
My suggestion, you being small as you said, would be Judo use your assailants' weight against them & send them flying off towards the moon, LOL!
I was about to say karate, but considering you're a small stature, the best chance is to take advantage of the other like, as CRV said, judo or sambo (which are both very similar) or hapkido which focuses more on the hip throws but really it's up to you, the one that makes you feel more comfortable and more confident is the one you should really go for and never use a weapon, it's just...lame...
yes it does, frankly I preferred the old times cause it required skills to use a sword, now I think anyone can pick up a gun and use it, sure some people are better than others at shooting but, you know what I mean
Who changed the topic? The mods can lock it now, I've chosen Judo... Or we could keep the thread open and change what its about.
I know of a good fighting style, learn fast dancing techniques and make your own custom fighting style, dodge with your dancing skill and flexibility and use spins and swift movements to catch your enemy off guard Edit: It usually works better with slimmer people with long legs
He's right. Krav Maga is great. When you train for martial arts, you spend half of your time learning about honor and respect and all that jazz. Krav Maga teaches you how to evade attacks and inflict disabling pain quickly. Perfect for a small dude vs a big fat jerk!
