There’s nothing wrong with classical martial arts styles that employ forms. Forms or kata instill muscle memory, organize the body of technique for practice and give great cardiovascular, and if you understand the breathing, resistance training. Most who espouse systems without forms didn’t understand the breadth of the classical style they first tried and found easy answers in MMA-style training. I think most of us figured out “ground and pound” by age 8. “Fancy moves” aside the goal of self-defense training should be about instilling some basic principles. Examples: In a fight stay behind your hands and over your feet and have a good ground game ready if it goes too long. One more thing, avoid self-defense courses. Learning a few useful tricks five years ago will not protect you. Fighting technique (like shooting) must become a recurring part of your life to ever be useful.

In reply to Rockman. So true. I had a similar situation where it was 3 on 1 in an apt complex. I had my benchmade bali-song for some reason, whipped it out luckily to look cool, and did a hilarious Johnny Cage knee/style kick to one's stomach. He went down and I turned around, feeling like it was a movie, one guy ran off, and the other was backing off looking disturbed. Always smile, laugh, and keep fit and ready to go just in case. It works with stray dogs while walking with your dog. Act in an unpredictable manner, people scatter or freeze.

I did have martial arts training when younger and later i had a guy grab my elbows from behind while three guys walked towards me. it was not a named throw but I used the principles of what I learned to improvise and the guy behind me lay on the ground. That stopped his friends. Learn to fight. I also spent many hours doing combat pistol as a hobby so the idea of fearing firearms has no meaning to me. I have shot five bullets into the same hole in targets with a bolt action rifle. My kids and grand kids can do the same. Remaining calm and controlled is vital. I walked into a store and three black guys had the clerks and customers against a wall. Smiling I walked up to a clerk and said I was ready to check out. The black folk were shocked and did not do a thing. That broke up the whole thing and people scattered. Police got the would be robbers. Never show fear Works with arctic wolves also they back away

In reply to Uncle Ben. Ben, there is a thing called the twentyone foot rule,,,it says if a guy with a knife is within twentyone feet you will not have enough time to draw and fire your gun,,,,that being said i have tried this with about thirty people, me having the knife and i have reached them all but one time. good luck finding a holster.

As many folks as I know who adore and express their 2A rights, I am appalled by the number of folks who bother with any self defense training, that number is few to zero.
If you think that just cuz you’re ‘carrying’ that that will save your ass, think again! I have years worth of Kajukenbo training (no fluff or forms) and I’ve have definitely learned the value in having a backup plan, the more the merrier! Underrated and less considered is the value of mental training, and getting used to the idea of doing bodily harm is not as easy as it sounds.
There are plenty of options out there for CQB, find some and explore!

It is also a very good idea to get hand to hand combat training because in close quarters being surprised by the intruder and losing your weapon is a real possibility. You have to have a plan B because plan A rarely works out. As my 1SG used to tell us “no plan survives first contact”
