boxing as self defence

Yep certain part of our society just doesn't give a shit about the law...some guys have such a long history of getting into shit and going to jail that they aren't worried about an assault charge. What do you do in that case?
I hate fighting in all sense of the word and am very much lets talk this out kinda person but have found myself couple times in situations (once with a drunk person) that I had no choice but to defend and then quickly leave the area.
Yea I agree fully. I like to tell myself I would probably de escalate or even run away or walk away from a fight. But the issue is what if your family is with u and getting attacked your wife and child can't run and no way cops will be there on time to stop anything. I also think if I wasn't at least a little trained I would have a harder time walking away. Just in my own experience people I know people ans myself included would usually cause more shit when they have something to prove. Even proving it to ourselves. So ultimately yes train mma but avoid bjj as it's competition ground technique that if you try on concrete you'll crack your head open. I found Japanese jujitsu was sick. It was all judo throws, submissions and locks, chokes and neuro shutdown points or nerv strikes. Stuff for real life self defense

Haha ... I guess I don't hang in the places you hang. You always forget to read the rest of what someone has written. Obviously your not a person that is open to discussion as your either right or your shitting on what some one else has said. I am done with this thread while your still commenting. Not worth my time or effort. Signing off
Sometimes there is nothing you can do.
me, my grandson and my wife were walking downtown this summer and this crazy homeless person decided to follow us and yell at us about nonsense.
Anyhow he was on the building side, we were walking pretty fast, he was chasing right beside me screaming, I waited till there was a spot where it indented like 6 feet for a door and shoved him as hard as I could just as we were about to pass, he flew into the alcove and I can only assume bounced off the wall.
I looked back a couple times and he stopped chasing us, so it worked, lol.
Normally I would have ignored him, but he was scaring my wife.
Exactly. And canadian laws are descusting in terms of self defense I had a girlfriend working nights doing dangerous work personal support worker going to drug dens and helping shady people or even some of the old guys were perverts and nope she wasn't allowed Pepper spray or anything. Anything made to hurt a person is illegal
It’s funny because those street drug abusers pepper spray each other, hit each other with batons and so on all the time.
Neck shot, most never block it, in front, side or back of neck, the world reels for awhile. I learned due to taking one in the neck one time..Holy shiznit.
Liver and solar plexis are great as well....
I agree but only if the persons trying to kill you those shots you mentioned can be lethal in some cases. Your a crazy mother fucker man I hope you find some peace in your life or at least no random idiots mess with u. You definitely it'll know how to handle yourself
@ironwill I mean that with 100 % respect too. I would never fuck with you but I like to try to de-escalate as much as possible. Some junkie trying to take a wallet or a drunk guy at a party doesn't need to be obliterated lol that's more for if someone is literally trying to end you. Which does happen so I respect your abilities. I know that stuff too but it scares me thinking about what we could do at our own will.
I only feel a need to know it because someone else could know it too. If I could trade everything I know and have no one in the world no martial arts I'd do it in a heart beat. But I'm a pretty soft and warm person I've just been traumatized and fucked up way too much in my life
Best to walk away . All you need is to punch someone, they fall back hit there head and die .. next thing you’re doing jail time for manslaughter over what ??? A drunk guy being a dick?? . I’m too old for that shit.. I just stay home these days

I started with boxing for fitness, but it ended up giving me way more confidence in handling myself. Timing, distance, and staying calm under pressure really stuck with me.
Getting decent gear helped too—I’ve been using for a while now and they’ve held up great through all the bag work and sparring. Makes a difference having gloves that don’t fall apart after a few sessions.

Maintaining composure and knowing how to respond is key. One of the things that always stuck with me from high school law was that provocation does not justify assault. These days all someone has to do is make a fist/utter a threat and they can be charged. If there are witnesses present and the other guy is the aggressor then you have every right to defend yourself. Advice from a gym buddy who is an ex-cop and trains defense tactics, always inform the other guy that he if he starts it, he is responsible for the outcome. Then no one can't say you didn't give him a chance to walk away.
I wish 403muaythai or Chapman (same guy but changed names after being banned), was here to school everyone lol. He was such a pleasure offering to post his name/number/and the address of the 'MacDonalds' to any member who wanted to challenge him under the thread bull made years ago called ' tuff vs. tough guys' as I recall it which F knows if I remember it all perfect. No reason, no disagreement but he was a professional world champion muay thai fighter or so he claimed and he wanted to beat up any member for no reason. He was entertainment anyway but inevitably had to go and then did the same on another forum and was given the boot.
If he truly was - I would have happily taken a few slaps/knees from him, and not fought back and then retired after I sued a world champion who beat the shit out of a guy who was attacked by a world champion.
He even showed everyone who he was, if I recall correct, the 145 lb world champion and his fight videos were all over the internet as it is a fun sport to watch.
Just looked up the thread and it was - Internet tough guys make me laugh by bull and out of the blue 403muaythai says, "They make me laugh to but I’m not internet tough guy anyone wants to have a fuckin crack I’ll gladly put my info up I can even go as far to arrange that we do it it in a gym or we can do it on the street no problem for me eother fuckin way amyone has a problem pm me we can arrange this"
Anyway, I prefer not to comment on these threads as they go sideways fast but it is hard to forget that ass hat.

That guy was so full of crap that he told everyone that he was ranked by boxing organizations as a champ. He didn't know Muaythai Canada is the sole organization with provincial affiliates nationwide.
My comments were all sarcastic. I would never let someone punch me or attempt to injure me to sue them - it was all sarcasm as he was full of shit hence the comment, meet me behind MacDonalds - like you are in grade 8 meeting for a lunchtime fight.
He was memorable as it feels like it was yesterday trying to school Gondar lol.
Wait until you are an old fart like me. It gets to be fun.
