Amnell, Aikido does not work, for starters. BJJ might still work for small guys, but I have done BJJ and rolled in MMA before too, and I can tell you; the bigger the guy, the rougher the roll.

Quit with the acentuating of eye gouges and groin strikes, because they really are quite a basic thing, like you said; taught in the first lesson at your gym. Do you honestly think I have no idea how to do these things? And even after I do know that, I am pumped full of testosterone and I generally find controling my anger quite a challenge, even so, knowing an eye gouge does not make an opponent twice my size seem any less intimidating, I can only struggle to imagine the feeling of a female looking at the same man when she is without anger like me.

I dunno, I am not going into the whole Krav Maga debate again. I just want to point out; all things are possible, even for a young girl to take down several men. But there are no short cuts. These skills are developed through hard work and training. Kicking me in the balls will hurt me, but wont put me out of action. That is true about myself, so why not with others? Let alone, trained professionals who have equal or longer reach in arm than me have trouble getting their hands to my head, why should it be any easier for a women to get them there for an eye gouge when she has arms only half as long as mine?

Hard work and perseverance. Hit and run tactics like in Krav Maga might be good against a sloppy and drunk individual, but thats about it.


Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

May the Demon find you...
