Is hand speed of this nature useless in a fight?

[Ryn0]

I think the only Martial arts that are useful in a fight are Boxing (it's classed as a martial art LOL), Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Handspeed of that nature is just not effective because you could proberbly walk straight through something of that nature.

In the context of squaring up with the guy in the club who just grabbed your girls ass when you walked by...

He got the other guy in the throat before he could even blink so I guess in that context that **** would be useful.

You like Krav Maga? If they had a school in NJ I would be on it like white on rice. That's the most destructive fighting style I've seen outside of all the **** that entails a gun. No wasted moves. Just raw ass whipping. Was Jason Bourne supposed to be using Krav Maga in those Bourne movies?

it's not on the same level as muay thai or brazilian jiu-jitsu as far as fighting mma but it's very good for self defense.

remember it was developed for the israeli army. the majority of the idf are reservist and part time soldiers so it teaches good , basic , easy to learn techniques and they have some weapons training in case you are confronted with someone with a bat or knife or bottle. i don't know how expensive it is though.

if it's expensive you're better off just staying in shape and boxing backyard with your friends to keep your skills sharp. yeah you aint gonna win golden gloves but the guys you throw gloves with probably throw it better than joe blow off the street.

and join a wrestling club , which is usually available at most colleges without a wrestling program. a lot of guys who wrestled in high school go to a college or jc that has no wrestling program so they start a club at the school for recreation. that's where i learned the basics of grappling when my friend who was all-city high school went to cs fullerton and him and his buddies had a wrestling club. i bought some bjj books and videos and practiced the chokes and locks on them. put it this way if you can choke or armbar a highschool wrestler you can probably do it on 99% of the guys on the street. you don't need to learn the more complicated stuff in judo and bjj anyway. a simple choke or armbar will suffice in a fight the majority of the time.

Another question in my own thread...

Why haven't boxers utilized this?

I'm not saying nobody has ever done it ever.

But I would practice it and keep in my back pocket.

It aint cheating right? LOL.

I don't know what the hell he's doing, honestly. Handspeed is great in a fight, but what's the bull**** he's going on about the other fellow's neck? It takes a single blow to the throat packing only 8 to 10 pounds of force to completely disable a guy. Hit him with 30 pounds of force and you crush his trachea and kill him. What the **** is all the extra bull**** he's doing? It looks ridiculous and would get some ****head killed in reality, if he tried that ****** **** in a fight for his life.

Yeah **** that guy...

I didn't mean him specifically...

Just the hand speed really...

Bunch of wasted moves there...

With that speed I would go STRAIGHT into your throat...

And out the back of your head with your teeth in my hand...

[Komander]

Handspeed like that is only useful for Choking the Chicken, Spankin the Monkey,Wackin Off.

Because boxers are far more defensive than an idiot coming at you like the one in that animation. The guy is wide open, trying to stab downward with a knife, and waving his left hand in the air like a flag. The people doing that animation haven't a farking clue about close combat.
