I think you need to put into perspective what the blackbelts were attempting to do. At their level and for discussion purposes they didn't need to review the precursor to the situation. It was a very hard lesson to free your mind of what you thought you knew and relook at regular old collar grabs and reinvent scenarios and deployment. I personally am trying to learn to use the seisan stance as a strike. Attacker comes in , switch angles and strike with your knee to the inner thigh, or outer thigh, many opportunity. nice to shareMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-50789779303143117812011-08-13T19:24:15.786-04:002011-08-13T19:24:15.786-04:00Thank you for your comments and shared links!

Summer is flying by and I am working an additional PT job.<br /><br />Felicia: You may have inspired another session for our group. Our dojo/house used to be a bar/restaurant. All I need is the disco ball... :)<br /><br />Journeyman: Thanks again for your articles. It was a useful session and we want to continue exploring the topic.<br /><br />Charles James: Yes, the group discusses pre-attack indicators.<br />However, in this instance, the goal of the group was to discuss types of attack. Numbers 1, 4, 5 and 12 were examples from the participant's personal experiences.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comments!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-86298468116228626262011-08-12T10:42:18.316-04:002011-08-12T10:42:18.316-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charles Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812618556413423872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-15349272872524752062011-08-09T20:49:14.840-04:002011-08-09T20:49:14.840-04:00http://ymaa.com/articles/self-defense-down-and-dir...http://ymaa.com/articles/self-defense-down-and-dirtyJosh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-16509012114820086892011-08-09T10:29:08.155-04:002011-08-09T10:29:08.155-04:00Yes, question, do you know what to look for in vio...Yes, question, do you know what to look for in violence before the threat has a chance to do any of these guesses at attacks on the street?Charles Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812618556413423872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-27012612399134379882011-08-04T21:34:07.731-04:002011-08-04T21:34:07.731-04:00Back in my aikido days, a guy grabbed the knot of ...Back in my aikido days, a guy grabbed the knot of my tie ... once.Rick Matzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699550034693340637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-67402288479310288902011-08-04T20:51:40.147-04:002011-08-04T20:51:40.147-04:00It sounds like it was a great session.

Even just the process of thinking scenarios through is invaluable training. I look forward to hearing about any subsequent sessions.<br /><br />As an aside, thanks for the mention on your blog and sorry about the terrible sentence I wrote in the paragraph you quoted. I had a plural and a singular tense all in the same sentence. I must have been pretty tired when I proofed my post.Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146093025259375890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-1773066821483591082011-08-04T13:42:55.545-04:002011-08-04T13:42:55.545-04:00Like that idea for class a lot, Michele!

We kept our street clothes (and shoes) on, Sensei dimmed the lights and turned on the music/disco ball (we used the room that the aerobic kickboxing class also uses, lol) and lined us up in chairs. We practiced handling unwanted "attention" from someone sitting next to us and getting out if that person was between you and the exit. It was interesting and provided quite a bit of "food for thought." I love classes like that!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing - and I hope your sinuses are better, today :-)Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017194727231120284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-38871122736452386772011-08-04T11:16:20.723-04:002011-08-04T11:16:20.723-04:00I have this blog post in my manual binder that I r...I have this blog post in my manual binder that I reference frequently: http://www.mokurendojo.com/2010/01/most-common-habitual-acts-of-violence.html<br /><br />Like you said, there are quite a number of online articles and studies about how fights go down. It is very interesting to play around with different attacks. I'm intrigued by the door blocking scenario, will have to mention that one and see what we come up with!~dawn~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17117111463308757364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-14344843637681060622011-08-04T11:09:24.653-04:002011-08-04T11:09:24.653-04:00thought provoking....i, too, think TMA often does ...thought provoking....i, too, think TMA often does alot of linear modes of attack; sounds like a good brainstorm...jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623739973599458366noreply@blogger.com
