Unfortunately, thats a great fallacy for several reasons:Originally posted by Crystal_Dumpling:oh! okay
haha. POOM! what a funny name....
my senior was telling me that's why some parents quickly send their kids when young, so that can have a Junior Black Belt, just convert....
eh, is it if girls are really attacked on the streets, just don't care everything and kick the balls?
(1) If its the first confontation on the streets, you would probably melt and spend time wondering what to do. Your knees will go soft, you will have tunnel vision, your mind will be confused, you will "freeze" a little, your adrenaline will flow, your heart will pump and you will feel fatique.
(2) Meanwhile, the attacker will get you before you can even get out of shock mode to react.
(3) Its not as easy to kick a person's balls as you think. Try kicking a moving target for a start and you'll know what I mean. An attacker is not only a moving target....he is also a target which can hit back!
(4) An experienced street fighter will always be looking out for kicks coming that direction, and will have his own counter moves against such moves.
(5) An experienced street fighter may have weapons.
(6) An experienced street fighter will be able to keep you flinching or covering up.....and you will have no balance, and can't catch your tempo, to counter-attack.
(7) If the kick is not hard enough, it will not knock the person out. He will be able to ignore the pain and continue attacking you.

Often, there are multiple attackers, not just one. Often, they won't stand in front of you and tell you that they are going to attack you too.... -

siam first. Talk later. . . Rule no. 1 of all martial arts.Originally posted by Crystal_Dumpling:then how? =( how to self defense? scream? pepper spray?

rule no. 2 martial arts is to give you an advantage over your attackers. It is not an all in one solution to get yourself out of a street fight.
rule no. 3 hollywood is a fantasy. No such thing as 1 man vs 20 men
rule no. 4 no such thing as a tian xia di yi martial art. Best is to experience different kinds of ma so that you can use them in the right situation. -

Otherwise, some contact sparring (without too many restrictive rules, like they have in sports martial arts) would bring you closer to the real thing. -

but i find my own view is
gotta play guts wid the attacker,see what thing on streets can use better use>eg: rubbish bin, those soft drink aluminum container(along boat quay last time, the metal chairs)sticks, metal rods.All add to your favour.when in brawl, never admit defeat, go go only, if once u lik bead down & cover/block is already giving the attacker more chance to attack ur veranable spots liao..even if fall down also hv to use leg kick & try to get up. if really cannot, still hv to run away, cos u never know if they whack u wid sticks or belts or worst, knifes.
Last bout not least, learn "Chuan Kong Da Mo Yi" can control him when te attacker is not near you..
