Real Fighting Exposed II


TikTok video: Some expert work from @s1ai3m with nunchaku, also known as nunchuks. I have never used them. I work with a few legally purchased knives, two baseball bats, wood clubs and carbon fibre knuckles. 

I received a standard, promotional, email from my online MMA and self-defence trainer from New Jersey, today. FightSmartTrav. I have taken two online courses with him in the past. Some excellent advice within the email.

Stop it. I beg of you. It doesn't matter how tough or proud you are... just. stop. Even if you are an experienced fighter, it is very difficult to react to a punch thrown within arm's reach, unless you are in an athletic position, and literally waiting for your opportunity to react.

Photo: I bought this at Canadian Tire and use it for my techniques. I agree with Trav. In any potential conflict whether or not an aggressor might have a weapon or not, keep your distance and keep an eye on the aggressor and/or aggressors. Even an excellent fighter can be taken out by a quick physical attack and or/weapons, quickly. I am a proficient, non-expert as a fighter and boosted significantly with weapons, but I would always look to avoid any conflict.

Don't be dumb macho (paraphrased) is an aspect of what Trav is teaching.
