I see these guys practicing their Karate and my friend starts telling me how tough they are
so I say Karate isn't going to do anything once I grab you and put you on the ground.

so know we are in this big thing and my friend wants me to prove myself against one of these guys. so here is what I am thinking they work mostly on kicks and punches so get inside and go for the takedown to get them off their feet?

good tactic, should be interesting to see if these guys will take me up on my offer.

You are going to have to be willing to take AT LEAST one punch or kick on the way in.  The guy knows this is your tactic so you are fucked on the surprise.

If the particular person you are fighting has studied pressure points, outside the obvious, you are also in store for some interesting pain when up close.  

Not impossible, but you have handicapped yourself by fighting someone who knows your strategy going in...

IMHO

If he uses a pressure point on you grab his balls and squeeze.

What exact form of martial arts are they practicing?  You better pray it wasn't Judo or similar.  They'll have you on your ass before you can blink.

I've always been amazed at the necessity of some young men to prove how tough they are.  The toughest men I've ever met had nothing to prove and they didn't go around running their mouths about how bad they were.  But the smallest dogs always bark the most.

Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Yeah, you're probably going to do ok with someone who knows [i]only[/i] karate if you can absorb a few (possibly serious) strikes on the way in.  If they're all about kicking and striking, grappling is the way to go.  [b]Never box a boxer, never wrestle a wrestler[/b].  In a practical martial art, versatility is the name of the game.  If you only know how to grapple or only know how to strike, you're pretty much screwed.

I'm sorry, using pressure points == fighting like a byatch?  If I make you drop your guard with a pressure point strike so I can take your head off with a left hook, is that fighting like a byatch?

I've heard brass knuckles to the nutts, back(kidneys), shins, and the back of the heard will leave you on the plus side [(:)]

Dont go looking for a fight, but if you must: Listen to Heavy Metal or Rock first. Then take a handful of speeders. Then call up someone who hates you/you hate them to get you going. Then picture them pissing on your grandmothers shoes.

Now, that addreanaline high should be enough to take many direct blows from Ching Dung Wang. Just keep on beating him until the police show up. [;D]

After grappling for only 1 month, I tapped out a tae kwon do guy in nothing flat. Jab a couple of times just to make him think you want to box him, then go for the takedown. Watch for the low kicks though, those things hurt like a muthafuck. As far as getting your ass beat, hmmm.... If I were a betting man (and I am) I would have to say that my money is not on you. Especially if this guy knows what he is doing. So in essence, yes, you will get your ass beat.

1. There is always someone that can kick your ass, most likely there are several.

3. Sometimes it's all about who is willing to go to the hospital ,are you. Are you willing to die over the reason you are in this position ? If the answer is yes to BOTH, you stand a very good chance that your challenger will back down or beg for you to stop biting him in the nuts.

4. It is OK to bite someone in the dick as long as you really do not like it.

 When your rushing him , Keep your head down elbows and forearms under your chin, like a real compact boxer stance. This gaurds against his most effective weapon against your charge(knee to the chin). At the last moment before impact straiten up fast just in case an elbow strike or a cross punch was his intention.Then his Karate is worthless. Now you just hope he didn't study jujitzu.

I've beaten the daylights out of black belts in Karate long before I took any martial arts.  Karate is just generally impractical in a street fight.  It generally comes down to fighting experience, size and dedication.

Rather than picking a fight, why don't you train with this bunch a little? I wouldn't suggest anyone picking a fight. You never know who you may come up against. In this case, you know that they have at least some training.

The style of martial arts I teach is based on Okinawan Karate but that is just for the traditional aspect, techniques, forms, etc.. For self-defense I teach mixed martial arts--the best of every style--and just plain down and dirty street fighting. Our motto is, "Whatever it takes."

I suspect most martial arts schools nowadays teach mixed martial arts along with a tradiional style. The Ultimate Fighing Championship, Pride Fighting, K1, etc. have shown that a single style is not very effective.

BTW, even though I'm only 5'9" and can kick a 6'4" person in the head with at least 10 different kicks, in a street fight I'm not gonna kick any higher than the ribs and usually only knee or groin height. At those heights I doubt you could catch my leg as my kicks are just too fast. And, don't bother pulling your gun out unless you are at a good distance as I'm gonna take it from you.

You just don't know how good your opponent is going to be in a fight.  He might SUCK at the karate he's learning, but may be one hell of a street fighter or something.

It's TOTALLY STUPID to even think about getting into a fight with somebody just to prove yourself. You need a better reason than that.

It's a bad reason, and if you start a fight for that reason, you totally DESERVE to get your ass kicked up around your ears.

Any well-trained karate student won't start a fight. He knows that his best fighting technique is defensive,  and your taking the offensive is probably going to play into his hands.

I take a martial art but it's not karate or judo or aikido or anything like that.  I take iaido, or the art of drawing and cutting with the Japanese sword.  It's not a contact sport!  But the school teaches very solid styles of aikido, karate, and judo, and I wouldn't dare to think that ANY of the higher ranked students in ANY of those disciplines would be a pushover.   The school isn't in the business of handing out belts and the students EARN every promotion.   All the black belts are people I wouldn't want to confront without a minigun.

The way I see it you're best chance is to use some psy warfare.

Walk in and act a bit light in the loafers.  While you're fighting say something like... "I've been admiring you from afar for months.  It turns me on seeing the sweat drip off you're strong muscles."  He'll look at you really weird, then he'll probably look over at one of his friends... That's your chance.  When he looks in the other direction go in for the kill!

Underhanded... yes, but it might just work.

All this is dependent on whether the school is a blackbelt store or if the students actually learn what they're supposed to. And never f**k with anyone who's taking Aikido, there are no easy blackbelts earned in Aikido, you'll get your ass kicked and the other guy won't break a sweat.
