@Agtren well i do have to agree that judo guys are usually really good at what they do, compared to an average karateka in the usa. a judo black belt typically holds more weight than a lot of other black belts. i am pretty sickened by the lack of practical self defense knowledge that most black belts have today. but i have to say that judo guys have really bad striking skills, as much as they wont admit it. in a competition, yeah wing chun wont do any good, but on the street.. who knows

[Agtren]

@sifujamie If we are giving advice to people about which style to pursue, I think we should have "averages" in mind. An average judoka who has consistently trained for 5 years and regularly engaged in randori and competition will likely beat an average wing chunner/aikidoka/taekwondo guy/etc. who has been training for 5 years with far less sparring and very little full contact competition. That seems to be rather typical.

@Agtren i have to disagree, its not about the style but how you use it. all the styles you suggested avoiding have great benefits in street situations if you know how to use them properly. i've been a practitioner of bjj, judo, kenpo, tang soo do, wing chun, and southern tiger claw for a number of years and i value what i've learned in each style for what practicality there is. a really good kung fu guy is just as good as a really good judoka. also i must say bruce lee was no pushover

[Agtren]

@neutrino78x Bruce Lee was an actor with no pro fights. Gene Lebel lifted him on his shoulders and walked around while Bruce angrily demanded to be set down.

No, Aikido, Wing Chun, Taekwondo and Tai Chi and Kung fu should be avoided.

[neutrino78x]

@Agtren uh, all the arts you mention work just fine full contact. Bruce Lee was a Wing Chun guy.

Chemin, I do not agree with the knee strike. If your attacker did not attack you. You just assaulted your attacker and now he can have you arrested. However, I do agree with ducking under the arm. Without any kind of striking to get away from the wall. That is a simple thing you can do to escape being cornered that will get you out of the being cornered issue and give you space to get away from the threat.

@TaniaHays

Yeah, a threat of rape is clearly implied. It can be a bad situation. However, what I think a lot us guys object to is half-assed technique which will only anger the attacker, when you don't have to go far to find legit moves - BJJ, judo, sambo, grecoroman, freestyle or if you prefer striking boxing, muay thai, Kyoukushin. Most of the time Aikido, Wing Chun, Taekwondo, Tai Chi and Kung fu should be avoided because of their lack of resistance full contact sparring.

[TaniaHays]

ok you idiots it not just for feeling uncomfortable, its for the a ral threat of rape (is that not implied??)

and whats the deal with you guys watching these videos and then telling women they ought not do them????!!!!!!!! Scared little boys
