Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Golden Tiger]

Nice to see your still alive...you kinda disappeared when we started talking about a gathering.

Gathering? What gathering? Why wasn't I informed of this gathering? I would have shown up if someone had told me but no one told me so I guess I missed it. Next time, just invite MK in my place. He has learned all my secrets and will represent me well.

It hasn't happened yet, and you're still invited. MK will be the guest of honor.

he SAS five second knockout
(thing) by DMan (4.9 y) (print) ? 1 C! Thu May 25 2000 at 12:50:05

An unarmed self-defense technique advised by the SAS (Special Air Service). Although brutal, it is highly effective, and will take down almost any assailant. Personally, I'd rather be armed than unarmed if I'm caught in a situation like this. Screw gun control. In any case, here it is.

1. Since most people are right-handed, their first attack is likely to a right-handed punch. Block it with your left arm. If the attacker is left-handed, reverse the left-rights in this sequence of moves.

2. Continuing the blocking motion of your left arm, continue with a two-finger jab to the eyes. Although this is a very brutal move, it is extremely important to throw the attacker off balance and hence allow you to follow up with the rest of the sequence, and this does an excellent job. Anyways, better him than you.

3. The last move should have left the attacker wide open. Follow up with a right-handed palm strike to the chin. This should put the attacker on the ground and convince him to leave.

4. If the person is still unconvinced, step forward with your left leg, swing your body around, lean in and strike with your left elbow on the chin or face. Use your hips to maximize the force of the attack. This usually guarantees a knockout.

5. If somehow the person is still acting hostile, step in, grab his shoulders, and knee him in the groin as hard as you can. At this point, you can simply walk away.

This technique has been tried and tested. However, hesitation at any step would ruin the sequence and open you to attack. Admittedly, some of these moves are very violent, but it is self-defense, after all. Practice it and make it one fluid motion. It will discourage any attacker.

[Judge Pen]

Yes.

That works all the time in the UFC.

What, they expect the other person to not put up a fight?

This is very similar to some of the one step techniques that are taught at SD's blue belt level. We drill them faster, harder, and with more resistance as the student progresses. We also stress the difference between sparring and fighting.

[Judge Pen]

After the eye-jabs, you can kick them where-ever you want.

Very true. It's all about stunning them. If you've seen "Knock Around Guys" Vin Diesel uses a head butt very effectively to begin a serious beat down.

You should let this thread die. The question of this thread cannot be answered to the satisfaction of both sides. Plus, you are talking about different topics. Just stat a new thread.

Yeah, i like those, especially #6 and #8(simple), but hell if i'm trying #3 with that back- double-block-spin-hook action. Yikes! I LOVE #2 and 4 though, and 5 with the kick and chop like an expanded on Ippon #5

I've seen our # 10 Tech. knife defenses elsewhere, even in Western MA , such as in Talhoffer's Fechtbuch (Fightbook). BTW, you'd be surprised at how advanced Western Rennaisance Martial Arts actually were!! Sword, staff, dagger, even wrestling and Grappling...Check out WWW.THEARMA.COM
Ton's of cool stuff there.
Love to study this stuff, too!! I need sooo many lifetimes.....
