Question Posted Wednesday December 12 2007, 8:05 pm
okay so i take a lot of kick boxing/boxing classes at my gym so i know how to punch/kick pretty well
but im just interested in how to learn how to defend myself if i was against another person or something
i dont wanna pay for like karate lessons or anything
so i was wondering if someone could show me something online or youtube or among that sort of thing
or if you know any steps yourself
like how to block yourself if someone was going to punch at your face and etc
Part of the point of defense classes is to put you in the actual situations. Alot of defense is muscle memory, doing certain things until they are second nature.
Example, I can block or turn a punch so that it doesnt hurt. But you have to have experience watching a punch coming your way to know how to react to it. In classes they throw slow punches and speed up over time until someone can walk up and punch you full speed and you block it instinctively.
