Frankly, I'm sick of getting jumped/robbed..
What do you guys think is the best weapon for self defense?
Would a tazer/stun gun really prevent someone from pulling the trigger of a gun?
Any pointers you would have as to how to get away from someone with a gun up to your stomach would be very helpful!
thanks ^_^
Get black friends. . .Quote:

Just get a gun.I dont think there is many lunatics that would go on a gun.
;o Whoa there, cowboy. Don't be so quick to undercut my pepper spray suggestion. Some of my family members are trained in the arts of ***-kicking, so this automatically makes me qualified to recommend self defense strategies on the intrawebs. It's like I said before, get the extra powerful stuff. ;/ It's a lot more expensive, but you're paying for your safety. Can you really place a price on ...your life?Quote:

Yo ain't near bein' pretty gangsta if ye are askin' advice on how to protect yeself on the internets. . .
lol
learn martial arts man
i been doing it a long time
people avoid you if u have confidence you dont even have to do anything
start as soon as possible and theyll ****** off
I'm all for a fair fight (well i'll probably just stab them), but I can't do shit against a gun lolQuote:

if they have a gun you dont wanna fight em anyways
unless theyre going after your family or something
just do what they want if they have a gun
not worth trying anything
What form of martial arts would you suggest.Quote:

Although I'm definitely going to start carrying pepper spray lol

kung-fu hands down
karate is too flashy
so is taekwondo
get one that actually works and isnt made to just impress
Jeetkunedo is my main style
not flashy like taekwondo or karate
only the real stuff that works
try that flashy tip tap crap and youll get owned
remember tradition = flashy and made to impress emporers = yer toast on the street
all styles are awesome for focus, speed, strength and exercise though
but if u want self defense learn self defense
if you go to a club and they say " join this club and youll have a black belt in x amount of years " leave cuz theyll rush you through and youll get a black belt FAST and know nothing
take yer time and learn the real skills
i have a few close clubs here in canada if u live in ontario i can suggest
do research and youll do well dont listen to others find out for yourself
99% of guys will say they know martial arts or "street fight" and they rarely know anything, most guys just cant admit they know crap about self defense
read "the tao of jeetkunedo"
by u guessed it bruce lee
i an email u the pdf if u like but its 70mb
its the style that isnt a style and doesnt listen to any traditional crap
just the real stuff
this isnt tv and there isnt rules out there
anythign in a ring will teach u to fight in a ring.. so on the street youll actually be worse off because youo learn to defend yourself based on a set of rules in a tiny ring... kind of doubt youll run into a guy in a ring lol
Krav maga would help, alot.
and stay away from all this mixed martial arts fad stuff
youll go into the club and theyll show you a ring
and say here well teach you to defend yourself
but heres the rules...
pointless unless u want to compete
you should be training in your street clothes and not in a ring
i spent 7 years in taekwondo ( on Team Ontario in Canada )
was fun but its a sport not a martial art
good training but NOT self defense
looks cool is all
avoid it, everyone will try to get you into that
krav maga is good but very hard to find an instructor
plus if u move good luck finding another club
go kungfu and u can adapt pretty much anywhere
avoid boxing, kick boxing, thai boxing, street fighting anything in a ring
@coaltiger
I'll get myself a copy of that book.
I live in Arizona, but I'll do some research and find somewhere good,
I'm sure it'll help with my confidence, as well as defense against guys without guns.
As far as the gun thing goes, I think I'm better off just listening to them lol
Plus I'm 19 and its about time I start getting into something other than the internet XD
I'll look into that as well.Quote:

Thanks for all your suggestions guys, I know I sound like a vagina, but I live in a REALLY bad neighborhood, complete with meth labs, gang wars (was one just last week right next to my house ><), and the occasional cat in heat (annoying as HELL)
np man i hope ya do
everyone should train
its not just about you its about anyone you happen to be around at any given moment
best of luck

How come you get jumped so often
ur hands are your best weapons their are many ways how to kill someone with your hands i learn throuhg an article i ound a long time ago for example if your close enough to a person if u upper cut them on the nose u can kill him if u hit him hard enough cause the nose bone would be push up penetrating the brain and another trick if u come up behind someone and u cup ur hands and if u clap him in the ears hard enough the vibration can burst him ear drums and cause internal bleeding theirs alot more tricks but i rather not tell.
because I live in possibly the worst neighborhood in my city, and I'm a smoker + insomniac so I'm outside often at night. Plus I don't have a car so I walk everywhere.Quote:

lol
the nose through the brain thing
would never work man
people still believe that stuff
the worst place to hit someone always has been...drumroll!!!!
the top of the foot.
not too dramatic eh? lol
all those little bones in your feet break very easy
stomp hard on someones foot is the best way to stop them
instantly stunned and painful and disabling
its the first thing any good self defense instructor will teach you
especially if yer a woman
I also find it funny that when people fight, they always go for the nose.
The few times i got into a fight, a good punch to the jaw always brought them to the ground.
yup nose isnt to win a fight
its to blur their vision and stun them
Well listen, I never hit a girl no matter how much she deserved it. Well actually I guess if I would get aids from a chick then I might get violent, so unless the guy was physically abusing you or pulled a weapon on you, kicking someone in the balls is a no no.Quote:

If I hadn't kicked him in the balls, I wouldn't be here right now. So no matter what you say: I'm still very happy I did it. =)
Pepper spray.
if u decide there are rules in a fight
like dont hit in nuts
yer gonna get owned man
anyone hits me i own them no rules
even if its a girl
its self defense
a girl can kill you just like a guy can
u hit them once in the nuts and end it, is alot better than breaking their arms or legs
theyll thank you for it
Awesome I'm a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do =P so you can see where my views on violence stand. Any way I'm getting defensive of the dude you hit, because I know how much it hurts to get hit in the nuts. Especially when you take a direct front kick straight between your legs :(.Quote:

I think it's a great topic. You don't have to live in the ghetto to know self defense! I live in Sweden, Stockholm, not even close to ghetto, and I need it now and then.Quote:
