teens and young adults are the victims of violence because the mostly are
the only ones in a gang or just beat people up themselves and shouting for
the cops is not going to help because the sad truth is that they will rape
you too );
I've never fought in my entire life, i'm not an aggressive person and
always managed to talk to people in case of trouble. I'm 26 and i just
started to work as a taxi driver here in Rome and i enjoy the night shifts.
Recently i had a drug addict trying to rob me at 4:00 in an empty street. I
managed to deal with him giving him like 30$ i always keep in my pockets
for cases like that, telling him that's all i had, and he fell for it and
went away. Being glad i didn't get hurt, and not pissed at all, i find
myself worryng that the next one might have a knife or a gun.. What is the
"best" way to train in self defence as a non aggressive person ? Sorry for
my bad English, alway enjoy these vlogs
Heres what to do, FIRST stop being a pacifist SECOND learn to fight and defend yourself THIRD carry a knife a second knife and a small revolver with a full barrel
+Deviant Elegy I don't know if any amount of training will change the fact that giving the person money is always the safest option and actually the cheapest (over time self defence classes can be quite expensive). But still. Just because your not an aggressive person, it doesn't mean you can't do an aggressive martial art. I'm not an aggressive person (quite the opposite) and I just started Tong Long kung fu which is essentially all about hitting people. I've also done Taekwando for quite a while and while quite a lot of it you probably wouldn't use in a fight, it teaches you to be on your toes and move around and eventually being able to dodge strikes and move out of the way comes naturally. So it's pretty good for a passive person.
+Shinobi HOG George Thompson. I read it in the early '90s and it totally changed the way I dealt with difficult people. It's also a very funny book about the author's experiences as a rookie cop and how he screwed up so many encounters before he realized there was a better way of dealing with assholes. Thompson also teaches it as a course to police/security personnel. Highly recommend it.
Street Smarts vs Book Smarts
Street Smart vs Book Smart people. Which is really the smartest. 10Players news tells it like it is.
Ken Jennings won something like 50 straight Jeopardy shows, and everyone
said how smart he was. That proved absolutely nothing when it comes to
intelligence. It proved that he has an excellent memory...The guy out there
that knows, say, every battle that was fought in WW2, right down to the
names of the Russian Generals mistresses, may seem intelligent vs the guy
that doesnt even know WW2 happened. Well, the guy that doesnt know it
happened doesnt know because nobody told him.Thats it. I had a Doctor
recently that i butted heads with CONSTANTLY. He was so used to ppl taking
what he had to say as Gospel and thats that. I know my body better than him
and i would disagree with him constantly. I could tell right away that he
didnt like me and really didnt care for my health at all. I read him. I
ended up telling him in all probability im more intelligent than he is.
Yes, he knows much more about the Human Anatomy than i do. However, i know
much more about the Boston Red Sox history than he does. There is no
difference. Intelligence, to me, is measured in two main things. A-The
ability to smell bullshit a mile away B-The ability to solve problems and
solve them swiftly...Again,the ability to smell bullshit a mile away. This
is not a joke and i cannot express that enough. The ability to smell
bullshit a mile away.Big things, little things, all things.Knowledge doesnt
mean intelligence. Wisdom, while closer to intelligence than knowledge,
doesnt mean intelligence either. You start with Knowledge and that builds
up your wisdom, and with wisdom, intelligence is intensified from your
already genetically formed intelligence.1>2>3.There are two kinds of ppl in
this world. There is the person that is disappointed when the clerk at the
store says they do not have a bathroom, and this person may even walk away
wondering how the clerks drops a duece. Then there is the person that rolls
his eyes and says "fuckin liar" under his breath as he walks out of the
store looking for a place to go. One really thinks there isnt a bathroom,
one knows God Damn well there is a bathroom back there, the clerk just
doesnt want your dirty turds or used needles in his shitter. Knowledge
doesnt mean intelligence.
P.S.- i was listening while typing and i had already typed about Jeopardy
when you said it.
P.S.S,- when i say there is only two types of people in this world,im being
broad. There is about 16 (alllegedly. I dont neccessarily believe that
part. Im a big believer in "Braintyping". They have experts that talk to
people and they can put them into a "type". Im a big believer in the
concept of Braintyping.But just the concept.
I do know of 1 way to activate that top 10% and possibly more. And that is Chess. Yes Chess. Obviously you already know this truth so I dont need to go into any details. But how can you possibly make an interesting video saying such a thing? hahaaha
WHY???? why with the robotic voice narrative??? thought the content was
interesting tho. can anyone tell me of any books out there to teach me how
to be street smart, cuz i really wanna learn =P
+10Players thats actually a very profound answer. I use a note-pad. Carry it everywhere I go in my backpocket. I write down thoughts and "to - do's" like a shopping list. When I complete what is on my "to-do" list i.e, pay bills, change daycare, cancel service, oil change and etc. I cross it off. My personal world and efficiency has jumped dramatically.
Why???? why Insult my sexy voice??? It's cool. We can take it. & the best street smart book you can get...is a notebook. Think, write, & watch the magic in you come out
Street Smart
THIS IS VIOLENCE ON TELEVISION THAT MAY JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE! Take to the streets with 8 time world champion kick boxer and self-defense expert Bob ...
"Gotta get sideways if he shoots me like that he gets an arm, a shoulder or
leg..."
If shot from the side the bullet will penetrate the limb and continue to
travel through it hitting other parts of your body beyond the limb. People,
remember a simple principal, just because someone is an expert about
something it doesn't mean he knows anything about other subjects. In this
case, just because the motherfucker knows karate doesn't mean he knows
anything about self-defense or ballistics, he doesn't.
Nothing but respect for Mister Bob Thurman. You don't get to be a black
belt in the Bushidokan system easily, and Mr. Thurman exemplifies the
system. Harrison is a tough SOB, Mackey and Payne were machines, and Bob
took from them and demolished his competition. I swear someday I'll attend
one of his seminars!
