Self Defence

Featured Replies

Hi guy's, ever thought about doing some self defence classes ?

In Pattaya we have some of the very best Teachers around, International Kick Boxing Champions and Masters of very special arts.

A few lessons will prepare you for many real life scenarios.

I'm talking about about Krav Maga, a tried and trusted method of self defence that originated in Israel, and is used by the Israeli special forces and law enforcement agencies to devastating effect worldwide.

In Pattaya there is a world class trainer and instructor, you can learn basic self defence within hours, and this is no rip off, you WILL learn things that you never imagined you could do.

This is crazy..............I can't post the link or it or I will be banned.

PM me for details.

and there are FREE Aikido lessons available, too......with a 5th DAN Japanese Sensei.

PM me for details... :o

I specialise in the 'Run Away' method, a simple defensive tactical non-combat technique. It's easy to learn and is good for overall fitness.

You can use the run-away method in a variety of scenarios.

PM me for details. :o

Also, in Pattaya is Pierre Berrie 5th degree Black Belt in Taekwondo and former member of the French Olympic Taekwondo Team. A very nice man. He is married to a Thai lady and has a son. I believe that his studio is on the street behind Big C the one across from Sabai De Water Sports (grin). The sign is next to Big C. You have to look carefully to see the sign. His training fees are also very inexpensive.

Just buy one of these 400mW handheld lasers for 45,000B.

Enough juice to cut away like a Luke Skywalker light saber! :o

I combine this with the snivel and cry method.

It really throws some attackers off the track. :D

Try shouting " My big brothers behind you with an axe "

Cheap and sure to please those chaps in the crowd that always appear to watch you get filled in. ( How do they know ? are they following you around ? Do Do Be boo do do ..................Xfiles moment )

what would be the appropriate age to have my childfen do this?

Caster,

personally I would not recommend Krav Maga for young children.

Running away is a great move too.

If you can run away that is, the fact that your attacker maybe able to run faster than you could be problematic. :D

Try shouting " My big brothers behind you with an axe "

...for most Pattaya residents younger brother would scare off more offenders... :o

My sister did Krav Maga in the US for several years. I agree with Maigo6, it is not appropriate for young children. When i watched her class it was full on heavy sparring, very physical. Perhaps good for adolescents tho?

go ahead and post the name Maigo6, just no advertising, thanks :o

On a serious note I think that you will find Taekwondo more appropriate for children. They usually have classes especially for children. Ask Master Berrie.

Aikido should be for more older students because of the pressure applied to joints.

The youngest student in our Aikido class is a nine year old Thai girl of one meter something and approx 20 kg. She has a yellow belt by now and the pressure that she applies to my joints is scary.... :o

Yes, we are a bit more gentle with her than with the adult students.

I just do the red-rage / crazy farang bit. I do it very well, but mainly at work, where I have 35,000 men all disappearing over the horizon when I inspect the site.

I have been teaching Aikido for a few years now now and we dont teach adolesennts as the Aiki tecniuqes are quite extreem on the joints and could easily damage young and underdeveloped bods. anyone teaching extreem tecniuqes should know this, infact in the organisation im in its against the rules.

Which is better for a short-term self defence course, Krav Maga or Grace Ju Jitsu?

How about for an older person with lots of aches and pains that can't train hard? :o

Propbably Aikido but i would say that, but seriously the thing about Aikido is you can train as hard or soft asyou like. as for me i would love to have a go at krav maga but the closest place to me is in scotland rekon you need something like that if you live in Glasgie.

I went to a weekend seminar in Pattaya in July, there were some older people there, and they could virtually go at their own pace.

That is what I heard Sensie Kushida 8th Degree Black Belt say many years ago.

Some people say, bad back, don't do Aikido, bad knee, don't do Taekwondo.

I have not seen many older Taekwondo students. At age 50, I was the oldest Teakwondo student in my school. I hasten to say that I am no expert. I have seen older Aikido students. I would recommend Aikido for the older student. It uses the opponents strength against them, by redirecting their flow of energy, with the techniques that are used. I also think that Aikido is more useful. However, their is nothing short term these two arts.

Short term probably Krav Maga.

I favour the hiding behind a small Thai woman method.

And for the more advanced scenarios I favour the hiding behind a small Thai woman armed with a large knife method.

Combined with the other methods mentioned above it would be a powerful combination.

In Thailand it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon like "Mr Remington." If you use his services, while walking the street, you are likely to be spending an extended stay, in the Monkey House.

Your hands and feet are always with you. It is ideal to have some self defense skills, that do not the require the use of deadly force. Not all situations should be dealt with by using maximum force!
