How To Fight........

How To Fight

The summer I turned 6 years old, some of the neighborhood boys started bullying me. Back then, I owned a pair of cabbage patch kid roller-skates and my favorite activity was skating around the block singing nursery rhymes at the top of my lungs. One day, a few boys in the 8-10 range thought it would be pretty humorous to push me around and watch me flail. I tried to run from them, but I couldn’t skate faster than they could run. They taunted me for a while and then knocked me down. Angry, humiliated, and with two freshly skinned knees, I did what any 6 year old girl would do in my position.

I went home and told my Dad.

My Father was an ex marine and always preached the benefits of learning self defense. Unlike most parents, he had no interest in calling the parents of my bullies to ‘open up a dialogue’ or some other such tripe. Instead, he planned to teach me to kick a little ass.

My Mother balked at this idea. She didn’t think little girls should be fighting. Little girls were supposed to have tea parties and then play dress up. Fighting was for little boys.

“What if someday a vicious serial killer kidnaps her?” my Father asked, “Do you want her to die weeping and begging for her life? Or would you rather she have the courage to wrench the knife from the killer’s hand and stab him in the throat?”

He paused, mid tirade, and said to me, “If that ever happens, V, stab and twist. Stab and twist.”

With my Mother temporarily mollified, My Father took me into the back yard to teach me how to fight.

Nervously, I explained to my Father that not only was I outnumbered by the boys, but they were bigger and stronger than I was. There was no way that I could beat them. My Father merely brushed my fears aside. He said that while they had the advantage of size and strength on their side, I could develop my own advantages. Here are some tips that he gave me:

1. Always Respond to Threats with Complete Confidence
Sometimes all it takes to make a bully re-think pounding you into a pulp is to make it very clear to him exactly how unafraid you are of a physical confrontation. When a bully threatens you, he is trying to invoke in you some fear in which he can feed off of. If you respond to his threats with confidence, even eagerness, it will give him a pause. If he doesn’t chicken out right then and there, he will enter the fight with a slight feeling of unease. His apprehension is your advantage.

2. Fighting Dirty is Fighting Smart
A fist fight isn’t the same as a karate tournament with judges and points. Your opponent is trying to hurt you, so don’t let some silly moral argument prevent you from kicking the little bastard in the nuts. Throw sand in his eyes, kick him in the back of the knees, bite him, or punch him in the stomach hard enough to knock the wind out of him. If he’s got you pinned down and you happen to see a rock out of the corner of your eye? Don’t be afraid to grab that rock and smash his face with it. There is no shiny trophy waiting for you at the end of this fight, so everything goes.

3. Talk Some Shit
Nothing will rattle your opponent faster than you screaming a steady stream of shit at him while you’re engaged in combat. The crazier you sound the better. If you can’t think of anything tough to yell, yell nonsense like, “I’m going to eat your eyes!” If you can’t think of any nonsense to yell, just plain scream. The second your opponent suspects that you’re a freaking lunatic he’s going to get scared. Fear causes people to make mistakes.

4. When You Lose, Claim It Didn’t Hurt
Sometimes you’re just outmatched. But even losing a fight can be used to your advantage. When it’s over, feel free to spit blood in his face and tell him that it ‘didn’t hurt.’ Laugh when he walks away. You might have just gotten your ass kicked six ways from Sunday, but I guarantee you that anyone watching that fight will think twice about ever messing with you in the future. No one wants to **** with the crazy kid who feels no pain.

Armed with my new tips and tricks, I laced up my skates and headed out to face the jungle that is childhood. When the boys confronted me again, I dared them to mess with me. One ballsy kid lunged towards me with the intent of pushing me down. Quickly, I kicked that kid squarely between the legs with my skate. He crumpled to the ground as I hysterically screamed at his friends, “I’LL EAT YOUR EYES! I’LL EAT ALL OF YOUR EYES!” Terrified, those boys got up and ran like Hell. I’ve never felt so empowered in my entire life.

In retrospect, I think my Father was just trying to teach me a little something about fear and courage. Back then, and even more so today, it became quite popular to advise your children to: Run. Hide. Look away. Go get someone bigger. Be afraid. As a result, modern children and adults alike are easily paralyzed by fear and have no idea how to defend themselves.

After reading certain articles on my website, I’ve even seen people comment, “What is she going to do if she says the wrong thing to the wrong person? She’s going to end up getting hurt or killed.”

I feel sorry for those people. So paralyzed by fear of what might happen, that they lack the courage to stand up for themselves or for someone weaker. I refuse to live my life afraid to say what I feel or do what is right because there might be some mysterious villain lurking in the shadows who is bigger and stronger. Better to be dead, than to live your life afraid.

Besides, I could just as easily spend my life acting meek and compliant only to still end up with a bullet in my head. However, because my Father taught me courage, it’s not likely that I’d go down without a fight. Who knows? I may even end up wrenching a knife from some psycho’s hands and stabbing him in the throat with it.

Of course, I’ll remember to stab and twist.

Very nice insight.

When you are on defense, think and act like a predator.

My children knows how to defend themselves from Bullies, and they would not dream to become Bullies themselves.

Great article, Twisted Titan. I love the "eat your eyes out" part. Funny.

I wish my dad had taught me how to fight. But, we don't have any fighters in my family (unless you count three rotten teenage girls having hormonal rages). ::)

In college I took a form of martial arts for a few years. The first thing they taught me was to run, and we ran every day, because you never know if you are going to need to run. Then they taught defense (blocking, escaping grasp), then offense (punching, kicking). Lastly, they put it all together into routines. You wouldn't believe how many people quit before we got to punching and kicking. And that was the point! This was free class, from a non-profit organization. They didn't want to train a bunch of bullies. They wanted to train people who wanted to learn correctly.

We learned to breathe, calm ourselves, and on the flip side - unleash our rage on command. I learned a different kind of self-respect, and respect for others.

It was an excellent experience, and if I had a kid, I would encourage some form of martial arts.

Having done a bit of time in the can, I once escaped a beating while lying upon a cold concrete floor with my hands cuffed behind my back. I was dope-sick as a dog, weaker than a dying fly at the moment and standing next to me was a beefy drug dealer covered by tatoos from the neck to toes, his hands were free and he was streching his muscles, rubbing his knuckles and staring at me.
I swear upon my soul that my only chance would`ve been biting thru his carotid arthery. I was able to convince him by just looking straight into his eyes that this would be his fate if he dared to start stomping on me.
PS. He didn`t.

PS.The first thing to do in jail is to sharpen your fingernails because before you are given a toothbrush which you can sharpen on the concrete floor and make a shank out of, you can lose your virginity a few times. The most disasterous thing is to get arrested with short fingernails, that`s why mine aren`t that short,especially the thumb ones (at least keep those somewhat long, they are the thickest and the best to carve eyes out with).

San Soo is a great fighting system. Thanks for posting that video.

I train in San Soo 3-5 nights a week, for the last year.

I am amazed at its completeness and at how devastating it is. These videos we have posted showcase perhaps 10% of all the modes of attack San Soo offers.

When I was a small fry, I ran from this kid who was gonna kick my tail. Scared me to my toes, I was running to the house screaming mamma,mamma as loud as I could. Must of been pretty loud cause mom opened the door and looked out. Ole Jerry was gaining on me but I was almost safely home. I turned my head to look behind me one last time as I was gonna shoot through the door and sideways past mom. BAM! I ran into the door facing face first, dang near knocked me out. Huge knot on my forehead and a grand shiner on my eye. Mom put me to bed, iced it down and when I finally stopped bawling she asked did I think I was gonna live?

I sniffled a bit and told her "I think so, sniff, sniff". She says "good" and proceeded to beat my young ass like she owned it (I reckon she did) I mean, she wailed on my butt with that belt for an eternity. Told me if I EVER ran from another fight like that again she was gonna beat me till there wasn't nothing left but legs and back cause I wouldn't have any ass left, did I understand? I believed her with all my heart.

Ole Jerry and I tied up several more times over the summer and I never ran. Even won the last go round. Thanks mom.

How can you lose your virginity a few times? Also, finger nails aren't going to do shit against an attacker. While you are scratching with your nails, he's sticking his whole finger in your eye trying to kill you.

If you want to stop an attacker, learn how to break bones. Pop an arm and it's useless.

2nd question: sharp fingernails are used to gouge out eyes,aiming at penetrating as deep as possible,hoping to dig out some brain tissue.
PS.Not every arm can be popped but almost all fingers can be, causing pain shock and giving you a precious second to gouge out the eyes or punch the throat.

If you are trying to dig out brain matter with your fingers, your fingernails aren't going to matter. You are in a dark place, at that time, and you've tapped your into your inner animal.

You are walking completely unarmed, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt. Either a huge German sheperd, a puma or a Bronx pitbull (here the drug dealers remove the pitbull`s vocal cords,making them totally silent weapons and also to silence the underground dog fights) is running towards you with the intention of munching on your face or throat. The animal is within a few feet from you, say 10-15ft.

[Ares]

Being one of only a handful of white kids in a predominantly black school in elementary school I learned how to fight pretty young. My first fight was in the 1st grade. My first time getting caught and suspended was in the 5th grade. My dad and my uncle taught me how to fight, but made damn sure I never started one. Just that I finish the fights I got in.

I've broken cheek bones, jaws, noses, ribs, arms, hyper extended knees and elbows. That was mostly in high school when the seniors in high school thought it would be funny / cool to pick on a freshman. They learned otherwise because when I fought all bets were off, I fought dirty. Like the dad in the OP said. There's no trophy waiting for you. I've been in 2 on 1 and 3 on 1. The 3 on 1 I got my ass kicked, but one went away limping, one had a broken nose and black eye, the other broken rib and a knocked out tooth. I had to be carried away but I sure as hell didn't go down without a fight.

If your male or female use that animal fighting instinct to your advantage and use the adrenaline rush to break your opponent. First physically then mentally.

If you watched the videos Nocturnal Egyptian and I posted, you see that San Soo is very effective. The one thing that is always stressed is that it takes the bigger man to walk on. Of course this is sometimes unavoidable, but growing up in action packed Southern California, I've talked my way out of several confrontations and only have had to fight once since high school, and that was over in a second.

I`ve been clean for a month,still sick as a motherfucker though. A month ago I had 28$ on checking plus 2500$ CC debt.
It`s good to see FRNs again and not drop 50-100$/day on dope.

Anybody have experience or commentary on krav maga, the hand-hand combat system employed by the IDF and others? A studio recently opened right down the street from me and I'm thinking about donning my best "some dumb goy" hat and checking them out.

krav maga is excellent. Learn a few Yiddish words and go.

Well, I am from the old "Sneaky Pete" school.........I would get them one by one and from behind.......they opened the door and the devil came out.



I was a fat kid. Strong enough, quick of reflex, well coordinated, but woefully slow of foot.

They would never stand toe to toe. They would never grapple. They were dumb, not stupid. It was always hit and run, from behind.

Walking home from school. One of them sneaks up, snatches the hat off my head, and sprints away, cackling. It was not the first time. Lumbering after him would have been pointless. The worst part would be having to lie to my mother about “losing” another hat.

Ten minutes later, I turn a corner and spot him, a block ahead, totally oblivious, walking away, still holding my hat in his hand.

Yes, I got him.

From behind. Without warning. After minute or two of quiet stalking, I leaped, and landed on him, coming down hard, with my fist squarely between his shoulder blades. Down he went, shrieking, in a heap. Whereupon I proceeded, in best Bojangles fashion, to give him a bit of the old soft shoe.

Years later I realized that I could have permanently crippled him, or even killed him. To this day, my only regret is that I didn’t. Yes, my dear Christian/liberal/libertarian/conservative brethren, you read that correctly. I was 10, this was the 1970’s. What would they have done to me? Nothing, that’s what. LOL.

It was, to that point, the single most exhilarating and illuminating moment of my young life.

Although I was being raised at home to be a good little Christian (“turn the other cheek”) and indoctrinated at school to be a good little liberal (“violence solves nothing”) I believe it was in this moment of metaphysical clarity, and transcendent joy, that my true, reactionary, pagan, nature first revealed itself, in all its splendor, never again to be fully repressed.

Alas, the taunts would continue, naturally, until I lost the weight, but by god, I never lost another hat.

3-4 years ago, my daughter was about 7, she told me that 4 boys in school came up to her grabbed her arms, and started torturing her til she was crying. I taught her, when that happens to pull back fast twist the arms around so they lose their grip, and punch the leader hard in the stomach. We practiced the moves a few times, until I was sure she wasn't going to hold back.

She did exactly what I had instructed her a few days later, because the boys came back for more fun. The leader lost his air and walked away so the others wouldn't see him crying, the other boys dispersed when the leader went. My daughter instantly grew a feet, and no-one has ever harassed her again!

If you watched the videos Nocturnal Egyptian and I posted, you see that San Soo is very effective. The one thing that is always stressed is that it takes the bigger man to walk on. Of course this is sometimes unavoidable, but growing up in action packed Southern California, I've talked my way out of several confrontations and only have had to fight once since high school, and that was over in a second.



I just got my Green Belt, and suddenly every technique they teach me ends with a kill shot. On a long enough timeline, an individual stops thinking about fighting with their brain and just reacts instinctively. This is why you can never learn martial arts by just watching it - you aren't just teaching your brain, you're also teaching your body. After a while, you can find yourself in any position, front, back, lying on the ground, doesn't matter, and you'll find yourself remembering several techniques that work from that angle.


Part of it is the fighter's aire. There are 14 different ways you can defend against a kick. You don't worry about any of them if you move to the side and kick him first.
