Now, how practical is this?
Bas Rutten - Bar fight guide
Lots of good stuff - kick ass video!
1. Kick to the groin
Good technique, but usually anticipated by the other guy confronting you. However, it is a very useful tool when used with a follow up flurry of punches, kicks, elbows...etc.
Practicality? As a distraction 100%, by itself? 0%
2. Head butt, punches, elbows
Always use your body as a weapon. Doesn't need refined techniques.
Practicality? 100%
3. Use objects near you - chairs, bottles, tables...
Again, classic smart fighting
Practicality? 100%
4. Knife attack defence
Unless you are Bas Rutten or some martial arts pro, you will probably not be fast enough to block the attack. Kick and run, or just run.
Lock, hold, disarm or counter attack? No way an ordinary folk like me (or you) gonna make it out alive!
Practicality? 0%
5. One hand choke defence
Unless you are good at grappling or have at least some jujitsu, ninjitsu, aikido background, you are not going to be able to execute those moves.
Plus, the person can withdraw his hand forcefully and then your technique breaks down.
Practicality? 0%
6. Back choke defence
Fantastic response that can be replicated by ordinary folks like me. See this useless technique.
Practicality? 100%
7. Knee break
Well, I am not sure if you want to do that. You can always just walk away. What if the whole gang comes after you with knives? Or broken bottles?
Practicality? 10%
8. Arm grab defence
I always wonder why aikido practitioners go through the whole process of reversing a grab when it is so much easier to do what Bas Rutten did.
Well, who am I to question aikido anyway?
Force your hand out and counter punch...that's the way to go!
Practicality? 100%
9. Head grab defence
Good move, but not likely to invoke a "natural" response from a non-professional fighter. Unless you are expecting this attack, most likely you will respond in other ways.
Practicality? 100% powerful but only 20% for actual application.
10. Shoulder grab defence
Complicated moves for a non-professional
Practicality? 0%
11. Grabbing a guy and going to the floor
Well, probably works in MMA, UFC, K1 whatever...but remember? Nobody goes to pubs alone, you wanna friends to come in and kick you in the head when you are busy "tying" up that guy?
Real life, no tap outs.
Practicality? 0%
12. Head lock from the back?
Very good defence, easily done unless the other guy is way way heavier than you are!
Practicality? 85% (discounted because you could be naturally weak and unable to perform the move)
13. Kick defence
Catching a person's leg looks easy for Bas Rutten, but we are not trained to have such good reflexes.
One good way if you missed that guy's leg is to just go in and attack that guy. The attacker just landed on his own feet and is unbalanced (even for a pro), so take this opportunity and go in for a flurry of your own attacks.
Practicality? 100% (if you got his legs)
14. Someone running straight at you defence
Going straight for his mid section, exposing yourself to attacks, well, that is something the other person won't expect.
The attacker will assume that you will defend yourself. So, yeah, good move!
Practicality? 100%
15. Gun
Well, I would advice everyone to forget about doing all those krav marga moves etc, unless you are trained, better just pay up.
UNLESS, you are going to die anyway (revenge attack), then go for it.
Practicality? 50% (depends)
