Tai Chi Self Defense – Fact Or Fiction?

December 23rd, 2009

It seems such an obvious question to ask, but surprisingly it doesn’t get discussed as often as I would expect:

How can slow motion movement work in a real fight? The answer is that slow motion is the very best way to safely train the central nervous system and to memorise techniques with a partner. For verification, look no further than methods of hand-to-hand combat training for the military and law-enforcement officers. Training always done at full speed would result in too many injuries, but pulling punches and not following through with joint locks and throws is ineffectual as training. Solo practice involving striking explosively at full speed and acceleration, known as fa-jin or fa-li, has always been part of traditional tai chi quan, and is explicit in the forms of Chen-style tai chi, but has also been an integral part of the other styles beyond beginner level.

Kung fu (Mastery) = time + energy spent

The problem with a sophisticated system like tai chi chuan is that it takes a long time to learn, and an even longer time to train until responses are completely natural and spontaneous. This is why traditionally in China, martial arts training began at around 5 years old, giving plenty of time for individuals to prepare their bodies, to temper and transcend their automatic (glandular) responses to aggression. My own principal teacher used to say “train for 10 years before you show your skill outside of your own family”.

Which is the best style?

Adherents of different styles can’t resist arguing about which style is best. Actually, it is not styles that win competitions or successfully defend themselves against attack; it’s individuals. No matter how good the style, system, quality of teaching or training, it takes a combination of talent or aptitude, inclination and dogged perseverance to be a winner. Unless you really want to fight, (and that includes being willing to lose sometimes,) maybe you should concentrate on simply maintaining your health and well-being.

Ultimate fist?

Tai chi chuan has been translated as supreme ultimate fist. This implies that tai chi is superior to other fighting systems. Actually there are many ways to translate the term “tai chi chuan”, as “tai chi” is the name of the Taoist philosophical concept after which the system is named. Most of the traditional martial arts were in their ascendancy before the proliferation of firearms. Once it became easy for a relatively unskilled marksmen or infantryman to “defeat” a highly trained martial artist as occurred during the “Boxer Rebellion” of 1899-1901, incentive for the grueling and exacting martial arts training was undermined, and the changing political landscape of early 20th Century China did little to support the older martial arts traditions. Consequently it is unlikely that the fabled skills of the masters of old will ever be seen outside of kung-fu films.

The best reason to practice

If I seem to imply disbelief that a tai chi master of old could defeat several young boxers effortlessly, or hold a bird in in his open hand by neutralizing the thrust of it’s feet with his palm, I don’t disbelieve these stories. I will be surprised to see a member of my own generation ever achieve such skill, but I find health benefits of tai chi practice that I’ve witnessed in myself and others to be every bit as miraculous as these wonderful old stories. These alone are enough of a reason for my own continued practice.

Learn Women’s Self Defense Techniques

December 22nd, 2009

I will demonstrate some self defense techniques for women that can be applied when defending oneself against a man who is attacking you. I will provide you with some valid suggestions in case you are ever attacked by a murderer, rapist, or a mugger. There are two techniques in particular that I would like to discuss, which include kicks, pulls, groin strikes, and eye gouging.

Although learning these womens self defense techniques are effective, they will require you to follow them up with additional moves to incapacitate your attacker to a greater degree. One very effective technique is to shove your fingernails into the eye sockets of your attacker and gouge the eyes. Not only will you be causing him a lot of pain, you will also be collecting his DNA under your nails. Don’t worry if your nails aren’t long; nails that are two millimeters in length are sufficient to do the job.

Memorize a number of ways to learn womens self defense techniques, the most effective of which are strikes in the groin area when defending yourself against a male attacker. A well placed kick to the genitals will incapacitate your attacker quickly. Following this with punching, ripping, pulling, and biting is also effective. This move has many applications, but you need to follow up your initial blow to inflict as much pain and damage as possible.

There is another move that I recommend, and it involves striking the throat and adam’s apple of the person attacking you. You will want to have a repertoire that includes a number of ways to learn women’s self defense techniques to fight your attacker, as women are generally smaller than men. He may find it difficult to breathe after he is hit in the throat. As he must have oxygen to attack or chase you, impairing his ability to breathe may give you the chance you need to escape.

Keep in mind that you must always follow up your initial defense move with more, including kicks, punches, elbow jabs, knee thrusts, heat butts, and whatever else you must to to damage your attacker severely enough to be able to make a successful escape without being pursued. If you can apply the groin strike, eye gouge, throat smashing techniques, you will likely have the advantage over your attacker in an encounter. I sincerely hope you found these womens self defense techniques useful!
