Has anyone seen this dvd called Paul Vunak R.A.T. (Rapid Assualt Tactics) fighting instructional video? i know nothing is better than learning fighting styles in person, but im limited, i live in a small town. No good dojo nearby.. So i searched for good instructional videos to constantly train to and get a good %26#039;start%26#039; at learning a MA. does this video actually help you out? or is it just a rip-off like most martial art instructional videos?
Paul Vunak R.A.T. instructional video. Questions about.?
paul vunak is a very talented martial artist and is a highly appraised teacher. any resources from mr vunak should contain useful information for any martial arts library and i know that it is one of his more popular videos as well. I%26#039;m not sure that is the best bet for a beginner though as some moves and concepts require a little prior knowledge and skill to be easily learned. for some more basic instruction in jeet kune do/Kali try this link

Best hand to hand combat system?
Hi,
What do you think is the best combat system? I am 17, and have done all sorts of martial arts since i was around 6. This includes 6 years of karate, 1 year of Tang Sou Do, 2 years of Muay Thai, under a year, but still training in Vale Tudo, and been doing boxing for a while now.
I want vicious moves that will work quickly and effectivly.
I am well rounded, but i want something else, i am going to give Krav Maga a go, but it has a very large emphasis on weapon disarming. I know this is very useful, but i want to know a fighting style that has more of an emphasis on seriously good hand to hand combat.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Best hand to hand combat system?
Karate is actually a nice complement to what you already have. It is solid and pretty practical.
Stay jedi
P.S. don%26#039;t forget to study specific ground fighting and not just Vale Tudo
Reply:Although somewhat rigid and static in their teaching methods, the old school classic Japanese martial artists provide a study program that enhances ones discipline and self control to a very high degree. As opposed to a specific style of self defense, or fighting techniques, the basic discipline of focus and dedication are more important. The positive by product is improvement in self defense capabilities, and ability to either avoid or efficiently handle various types of threats.
In terms of practicing specific styles of self defense: which ever works for you as an individual is best. But there is no magic bullet. Your level of effectiveness will depend on your own personal level of attainment through practice and conditioning, mental and physical. Shotokan karate (and its relatives), or judo, are good places to start. But give the old school method a try.
Reply:Sounds like you%26#039;re pretty well rounded. Maybe you could try out some Silat or Kali. Both get into weapons, joint locks and both up and down fighting. Also I love Eric Paulson%26#039;s CSW is an awesome systyem.
Reply:if you want the quickest moves then do kuk sool won
it teaches you to take down your oponent in 5 seconds or less
basically kuk sool won is a martial art system of all korean martial arts
so at the same time you are learning hapkido, akido, taekwondo and others
kuk sool won has the most techniques (over 200) by black belt only
Reply:most systems, military systems that is like krav maga are designed to cover general attacks, and techniques easily taught to a large number of people at once.
This is the same anything armies teach. It is not designed to be the best, but the best thing to teach quickly.
generally if you have been doing a lot of fighting the best hand to hand style is the same thing you will see in any arena sport, from anceint egyptian, greek ,roman or medieval british whatever.
And it looks a lot like MMA, but with gouges, biting, and groin attacks meaning the groundwork is over a lot quicker.
In other words, box with the hands, kickbox with the feet, thai box with the elbows and knees, wrestle for takedowns and control and submission technques on the ground.
This is what all martial arts started as. They only change historically when they are used for different things(sports etc.) or lose thier realistic elements.
Just like there is one good way to throw a javelin, one good way to play a violin, one good way for anything. There is pretty much one set of good ways to fight.
Reply:My top are:
Krav Maga
Lotar
Jeet Kune Do (original, concept or renegade branches)
Combat Hapkido
(Some styles) Silat

Changing my style. How does this sound?
I%26#039;m 19 years old, student in university, no girlfriend yet. I think it%26#039;s because of how I present myself. Personally, I don%26#039;t even know myself (MMOs ruined my life, and I am learning who I am again).
Right now I look average, this is what I%26#039;m going to do:
1. Change clothing to %26#039;casual%26#039;.. polo shirts, overall more expensive wear
2. Use a cologne, probably Aqua di Gio, Hugo, Sean Jean or something similar
3. Get professional advice on my hair style - I think it%26#039;s okay now but it can improve
4. I started working out, and in 4 months I%26#039;ll have muscles and a 6pack
5. I%26#039;m starting to take martial art classes and get more involved with sports
am I going to be fine?

try it out, its all about being comfortable
Reply:it%26#039;s fine to change the outside, just make sure the inside is just as put together
Reply:I don%26#039;t think that will do much for you. You are however the same person. If you want to attract a woman with your facade aura, I don%26#039;t think you%26#039;ll appreciate her enough since she fell for your looks oppose to who you really are. The sad thing is that you%26#039;re doing this all for presentation. Are you serious into these things or is it just based on conformity. Which brings up the fact that expensive wear does not equate being better dressed. You%26#039;re just really conditioned into moving in the wind of the market and based on what you see.
Reply:If those changes sound good to you, then do them. I think they sound rather superficial and they won%26#039;t change who you are on the inside.
Just be yourself. College girls like that!
Reply:You%26#039;ll be fine.
Reply:yeah, man, you%26#039;ll be good. you can%26#039;t just sit around and expect girls to swarm you, though. start to talk to some of the girls in your classes.
Reply:Do what makes you comfortable. Just be yourself.
Reply:Yes, you%26#039;ll be fine. You%26#039;ll be fine because you care about your looks and style... not because you%26#039;re wearing a certain cologne or whatever. Remember, you need to find a %26quot;style%26quot; that YOU are comfortable with. Don%26#039;t rely so much on what others think. But being able to make adjustments is healthy. Just be careful not to obsess about it, and you%26#039;ll be fine.
And remember: your character is much more important than the brand of your shirt or cologne. Make sure your heart is good and honest. That%26#039;s what a woman really wants. Nice cologne %26amp; attractive clothes are just gravy.
HTH.

Using cologne can backfire. I hate a guy who smells too strong! Try a scented body shower gel, and get the same scent as your anti perspirant. You will smell good but not overpowering. Polo shirts are gay. No really, I think they look stupid, and can%26#039;t believe that they are actually being replayed from the dreadfully dressed 80%26#039;s era. Can%26#039;t go wrong with an Aloha shirt with a white tee shirt and jeans. This exudes the aire of relaxed and ready for what life%26#039;s gonna toss at you.
Reply:Wow! Thats enough to impress me! Yet whatgirls are mostly attracted to is confidence. If you are confident and comfortable in your own skin it shouldnt matter what you where your personality will definetly stand out and thats what attracts girls. Good Luck :)
Reply:yep, you%26#039;ll be a stud- you go boyfriend!
Reply:Number 4 or 5 sounds reasonable enough, but ditch everything else (though if you wear clothes different from all thet other guys you might consider something more similar to them--usually a simpler attire is best). Girls aren%26#039;t attracted to guys with good style or cologne. They are attractive to a confident, %26quot;bad *** but essentially nice%26quot; guys who are charming, Funny, and usually good-looking. Don%26#039;t try to change yourself for what you think will attract others.
You have to like yourself before anyone else will like you. That means working on your personality and accepting yourself for who you are. Are you shy? Strike up more conversations. Are you a passive guy? Practice saying no when you need to. You catch my drift. I know you say you have a great personality...so use it! Let the girls know you have it!
p.s. Good job getting out of MMOs. Or if not, keep it to one hour a day max. If you can%26#039;t, try cold turkey or other games that aren%26#039;t as addictive.
Reply:Personally, I think what you are doing is just a waste of time and effort. No offense!
Do you realize that what you are doing at the moment is creating a completely new person. It%26#039;s simply not you. I know it sounds confusing, cause you are still physically you after the changes. But it%26#039;s not the natural you. Think about it, if those characters are you, you would already have them and not having to change into them.
Just be who ever you have always been! Be yourself!

Pull back hairstyles that won't come apart easily?
Does anyone here know where I can find some pull back hair styles that are nice and won%26#039;t mess up too much? I am in a martial art class so it can%26#039;t be anything flimsy that will come apart.
Pull back hairstyles that won%26#039;t come apart easily?
Just use lots of hairspray and small clips, like bobby pins.
Reply:put it in a pony tail and then curl the pony tail and put hairspray cuz the curls will keep the pony in for a while then put some burrettes it where there are the lil hairs sticking out
Reply:Pony tail with hair pins. Lots of pins.
Reply:Pins and other hard accessories might not be allowed in martial arts, so my suggestion would be to stick with softer hair accessories. My suggestion would be just a basic ponytail, and then if you have any pieces that fall out of it try an elastic headband (the kind that%26#039;s like a ponytail holder but bigger) to hold them back.

Should I report A Bully?
In the last question i asked about the bully
problem many of you told me to take
martial arts/self defence classes and such.
I am trained in Muai Tai and M.M.A. style fighting
so skills are not the issue. I am only about 150 pounds.
This bully that i am having troubles with is around 220.
And yes i do lift weights and work out but that
can onlt do so much without the help of steroids
and things like that. Also i am not trained to take
on mutiple assailants at one time. I don%26#039;t know what to do.
Should I report A Bully?
yes i think you should report him and heres why; chances are you aren%26#039;t the only one he is bulling. He could seriously hurt someone or even drive someone to suicide if he isn%26#039;t stop.
in facts kids these days that commits or attempts suicide because they are being bully and tease is so common that it is now call bullicide. So there is no telling how many people you will help if you stop his bullying. report him.
Reply:disagree with mae.....he should go and kick the bully%26#039;s ****** ***! he can do it and being a sissy is not the way to solve problems. Do you think complaining to the teacher that this will stop? yes temporarily but it will come back two fold. Report It
Reply:report his sorry @$$
Reply:I think you should.
It would save you a lot of trouble instead of fighting.
Fighting never does any good.
Its like the war thats going on right now...the only thing we%26#039;re getting out of it is pain on the inside and out.
And even if you do beat the bully he%26#039;ll just come back for you with backup. Bully%26#039;s dont give up that easily... trust me D=
I know its tough but you have to stand up for yourself.
Reply:Go for the knees. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I have kicked many butts especially those who are bigger than me. I%26#039;m 5%26#039; 7%26quot; @ 170 pounds and had a spat with a bully who was 1.5x my size. I went straight for the knees and he is in rehab now for the past 6 months. Knees are delicate and bigger guys can%26#039;t maneuver like us. If your 150 pounds you can easily bring down the baboon.

i answer it for a no-no!
you should be happy just the way you are. but if you%26#039;re not quite happy with yourself, you should relax yourself and do not stress yourself.
just enjoy life and nothing could go wrong. you should not be so confused because the more you get it, the more arrogant you%26#039;ll be.
Reply:Defining yourself. Cool, Honestly.
I also recommend doing Yoga Classes, It gives you self control, belief and confidence as well. In saying that aswell, there are girls who go there.
Um, try joining more communities, always help.

Going to the gym does pay off! My friends boyfriend started going and he now has an awesome torso.
Your going to be fine!
Reply:OK, there are ways of changing your style and there are ways of changing your style and braking your wallet, so here are some tips.
1) the casual look is nice but you don%26#039;t have to get the most up to date $150 polo shirt, last season shirt and pants are ok and cost allot less. Remember it%26#039;s not the clothes it%26#039;s how you ware them. last season%26#039;s shoes are fine too. try shopping around late October early November for great deals. find colors that look good together, dark blue with Grey OK, dark blue with forest green... don%26#039;t do it!
2) cologne... careful with this one. this is a pitfall of most men, they spray on way too much. no those aren%26#039;t tears of excitement, her eyes are stinging. spray the wrist, rub them together. then spray the neck, where the neck reaches the color bone, hold spray at least 1 foot away form your body for a good mist.. ONE SPRAY IS ENOUGH. I think oils are better though, they last longer.
3) hair advice is a good idea from someone who knows what there talking about. figure out the establishment before you ask hair advice.
4) working out is great but a healthy diet is essential! remember if your looking to lose fat make sure your not consuming more than your burning.
5) your on the right track, martial arts is a great way to not only get into shape but stay in shape.
use common sense and remember that looks will get you to the door but personality carries you through. it looks like you%26#039;ll do great and good luck.
Reply:I think that what you are doing is great! Its wonderful to constantly reinvent yourself. This will boost your confidence and show how versatile you are.

Going to the gym does pay off! My friends boyfriend started going and he now has an awesome torso.
Your going to be fine!
Reply:OK, there are ways of changing your style and there are ways of changing your style and braking your wallet, so here are some tips.
1) the casual look is nice but you don%26#039;t have to get the most up to date $150 polo shirt, last season shirt and pants are ok and cost allot less. Remember it%26#039;s not the clothes it%26#039;s how you ware them. last season%26#039;s shoes are fine too. try shopping around late October early November for great deals. find colors that look good together, dark blue with Grey OK, dark blue with forest green... don%26#039;t do it!
2) cologne... careful with this one. this is a pitfall of most men, they spray on way too much. no those aren%26#039;t tears of excitement, her eyes are stinging. spray the wrist, rub them together. then spray the neck, where the neck reaches the color bone, hold spray at least 1 foot away form your body for a good mist.. ONE SPRAY IS ENOUGH. I think oils are better though, they last longer.
3) hair advice is a good idea from someone who knows what there talking about. figure out the establishment before you ask hair advice.
4) working out is great but a healthy diet is essential! remember if your looking to lose fat make sure your not consuming more than your burning.
5) your on the right track, martial arts is a great way to not only get into shape but stay in shape.
use common sense and remember that looks will get you to the door but personality carries you through. it looks like you%26#039;ll do great and good luck.
Reply:I think that what you are doing is great! Its wonderful to constantly reinvent yourself. This will boost your confidence and show how versatile you are.

Changing my style. How does this sound :)?
I%26#039;m 19 years old, student in university, no girlfriend yet. I think it%26#039;s because of how I present myself. Personally, I don%26#039;t even know myself (MMOs ruined my life, and I am learning who I am again).
Right now I look average, this is what I%26#039;m going to do:
1. Change clothing to %26#039;casual%26#039;.. polo shirts, overall more expensive wear
2. Use a cologne, probably Aqua di Gio, Hugo, Sean Jean or something similar
3. Get professional advice on my hair style - I think it%26#039;s okay now but it can improve
4. I started working out, and in 4 months I%26#039;ll have muscles and a 6pack
5. I%26#039;m starting to take martial art classes and get more involved with sports
am I going to be fine?
Additional info: I%26#039;m not trying to be someone I%26#039;m not, I don%26#039;t know who I am that well yet. Yes I have a great personality, I just have trouble showing it because right now I have the style of a dumb high school kid who uses AXE spray. I also have self confidence. Sense of humor is so-so.

its a start, youre going abt it the right way with you saying that youre not trying to be something youre not so make sure you stick to that
Reply:Im 25 and had some fasion issues leaving college. I think your doing good. My suggestion is to find a cute girl who you think dresses nice or cool and ask them to go shopping with you. It worked wonders for myself, I now refuse to go shopping with out a girl present. It also makes a great date with a girl, you learn a lot about each other, its very informal and you always get a bite to eat or a drink after shopping.
