Sure about that? They're mighty big them sumo's... I remember first time I met one, I was 11 years old. That's probably one of the scariest moments of my life.

believe me, imhuge


i love my body, im not changing it at all, its round and i love it, your little kung fu shit works nothing on me if i sit on you

[Raziel21]

Why should I? He's just saying what I've been trying to say all along. He's not going "do kungfu but not karate or TKD becuz thats fancy lol".

Although you're right, I think people should challenge their weight and height by training stuff that's harder for them as well, just for the sake of training with a handicap, it goes without saying that a sumo wrestler isn't going to pull any high kicks anytime soon.

I mean, I'm not a huge guy, I still love practising sumo(not that I get the chance very often, cept when I'm in japan).

It's not about the handicap the OP is getting his *** handed to him now. I understand that it would be fun to train with a handicap. I personally love sparing people tougher than me and people who take other martial arts (maybe I'm a masachist). Any how, the OP needs to learn a way to defend him self and he needs to learn it NOW! so training under a handicap might not be the best idea at the moment.

Or just whip out the sticks and the stones lmao.

This made me crack up so hard xD

Yeah I know that. However, I think it's been covered pretty thouroughly already. There is no 1,2,3 quick-fix for learning self-defense. Although you have the general techniques for getting out of a pinch(like breaking holds, groin strikes etc), if you don't have the mind(or the balls) for it, it's not going to help a lot and that's why it takes time to learn.

Half the process, and any competent teacher will tell you, is doing your best to prevent the situation from arising, by taking precautions. The "violence part" is the last, and very last, resort.

this video if pretty interesting in terms of self-defense:

Finally complete agreement. Sumo's are monsters. I don't think anyone can compete with them without being monsters themselves. But that might just be my fear talking. I've only wrestled a sumo once(and that was for fun mind you), and I was younger and only around 60k in weight. But he handled me like a little child(not in the perverted sense).

[coaltiger08]

ya that would be a toughie
dont see headlines on them attacking people though thank god
have to be throat and foot shots
no way id get in a ring with one
if u cant move yer fubar

[TheJESTERJ]

Man up and grit those teeth! When they get in your face you uppercut them into oblivion! All a man needs to defend himself is his fists.

[coaltiger08]

scariest guy i know is master garland
he comes to classes and teaches weapon training
he shows you how to use weapons so blood splatter patterns dont get on your clothes
after 25 years you still learn all kinds of new crap
wouldnt want to piss that guy off
my grandmaster Xiyuan in toronto is 82 and can do splits kicks over my head still
hes hardcore Wtf taekwondo

[Deimos]

owning a gun/weapon of some sort doesnt make you safer from crime.

if it did then america would be the safest country on earth, along with sierra leone.

[coaltiger08]

definately true
noone is allowed to carry a knife or gun here in canada
unless the knife is very small
youd be nuts to carry a weapon anyways yer asking for trouble

[Cata|yst]

grind until u become OG :O

[coaltiger08]

im gonna grind till im an epic sumo

[Lorek]

Good post and video, having a background in security we are first and taught to try to defuse a situation but at the same time keep distance and keep hands forward (usually chest height with open palms) in a non threatening manner as to insure that we have some chance if the situation changes, if the OP is indeed getting jumped regularly and weapons are used then best thing would be to avoid these situations, secondly a weapon as self defense is not a great idea if you are not well trained and constantly trained as to keep in practice (muscle memory), a weapon used in self defense is often used on the defender once attacker obtains it, also when a second weapon is produced in that type of situation it can escalate quickly so losing you wallet soon turns into losing your life. Martial arts may help you defend yourself if the need arises but it is better to not need it by avoiding the situation.

[Z0MBiE]

Thanks alot OP, now im paranoid and i proxy when i torrent. >_>

i think you missed...

[vi3tshiiet]

Muay Thai.

Martial Arts/Judo can give you control of the situation. As long as you stay calm - then yeah. OR. alternative.
Make some "friends".

[Avarwen]

Learn to fight if they are beating up on you for fun. If they want money give it to them. As for a gun or taser not a good idea IMO unless you are female or can't fight at all for whatever reason.

[coaltiger08]

lolwut? what you talking about?

not u man couple sending me emails
admins are looking after it
some of these kids have real anger issues
this is a mmo website youd think they would be nicer
alot of trolls here
dont think im gonna waste anymore time on this site
only been posting for a week and ive seen a ton of nasty threads
once theyre older and work for a living they will not have as much free time

[Zymbaline]

I was planning on escaping but it never happened because of a stupid friend, so I'm still here. -.- =)

What did I miss?
