Environmental Techniques

[Laine Nakachi]

Most of our kung fu training regardless of style or systems , takes place in the kwoon or any secluded area , where no one hangs around .Or at any recreational
area .

From there we must also prepare ourselves mentally , for those realistic situations that can confront us at any time ,any place , any day .We must sit down and think about these situations .As we think we must also visualize ourselves in these situations . And think and inovate what kung fu techniques would work in each situations . And practice it so we can all
prepare ourselves for it .

Example if we're in a car , and your instincts tells you that something is about to happen , the best thing to do is get out of the situation.Or if you're already confronted with trouble .If you're opponent throws a right punch towards your face.You can deflect it away with your left hand ( slapping it away) .At the same time grabhold of his right hand with your right hand ,and you can use your left hand to support your right hand.Slamming your attackers right arm going in a downward motion ,

Or...

Put the car in gear while taking the hit and drive off. Get a tight hold on any bodypart he has past the doorframe for extra fun.

Rolling up power windows on him while in motion is good for and giggles. If the windows breaks... all the better.

What would be really cool is if you grabbed him by his hair and if he wasnt wearing a seatbelt (and you were) slammed on the brakes and chucked him threw the window. Down side is that you would loose your windshield. Not the most realistic technique but it would be hella cool.

Actually, last instance I heard of a carjacking in this town, the driver veered into a K-rail at 60. One carjacker died, the other was convicted of murder in addition to the carjacking.

what would you guys do if you found yourselves in a corner? (ie a joining of two walls)

Jerry Love ,

Good replies but , you have ' nt read the other part of my topic .

Or...

Why not just drive off, instead of
taking the hit .Because from the time
the attacker gets to your car, it's also
going to depend on how fast you can put
your car into gear and just drive off.
Also besides getting a tight hold on any bodypart past the door frame and just
having fun .It's always good to carry a
weapon in the car , just incase you
needed .

If you're observant and noticed people
, obviously looking at you .And walking
towards your it means somethings up .
Just be ready to handle the situation.
or if you see people walking pass your
just to get by , be prepared to deal
with it too.

I would rather use a weapon , instead of
sacrificing the window . Once the
windows busted . You're going to have to
spend extra money just to have it
replaced .I would rather use a weapon
it's a lot better.

Right just for and giggles ,if
your in a carjacking situation , it's
not funny , it's serious business.You
can either survive or who knows what'll
happen to you.Going to have to think
twice about it.

Well , your entitled to your own
opinion , just like every body else.
Speaking of seatbelts , in some states
you are required to use seatbelts.They
prevent you from flying through the
windshield.Just incase you do get into
an accident.
When it comes to environmental
techniques.Best thing to do is to
release the seat belt as fast as you
can.And besides grabbing the attacker by
the hair , if you were'nt wearing
seatbelt.And slamming on the brakes and
chucked the attacker through the window ,down side is that you would lose your
windshield .Why not just grab the
attacker by the hair and just punch him
in the face .It does'nt matter if it's
not a realistic technique or not.when
you're in a car jacking situation you'll
do anything you can to survive.

If you can't punch your attacker out,
use anything that you can as a weapon ,
to survive the situation.

Jerry Love ,

That's probably what happens when you
carjack people.They suffer the
consequences.And pay the price.

OdderMensch,

Depends on what the attacker will do
against me.Does he have any weapons ?
How many attackers are you facing ?

If just one person armed with a knife ,
club , or stick.You can survive the
situation.If he has a gun then it's a
different story.

It's better to develop a plan for these situation.For mutiple attackers get the book on the Five Rings by Miyamoto
Musashi and the art of war,by Sun Tzu
Translated by Thomas Cleary.

If you're a good knife thrower,you can
probably distract the attacker,any way
you can.Other than that negotiate with
the attacker until you get close to him , to disarm him.If you heard the bullet
your safe,if not then you have a 50 -
50 chance of surviving.It's a tough
situation but, very realistic.Other
than that do any thing you can to sur-
vive the situation.
