Metarie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 What kind and where should I investigate such things?I've fucking had it with drunken reprobates trying (and sometimes managing) to cop a feel so I want to know that, should I be in that situation again, I can do something about it. Something that doesn't involve my very chivalrous boyfriend ending up with a broken nose because he's standing up for me. That's very sweet and admittedly rather sexy, but I want to be able to do it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 best form of self defence, your foot and said reprobates balls!!! best advice is check out local community or sports centres for self defence classes or ask at a local library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Skyline Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I went to a self-protection class for woman at Aberdeen Martial Arts group on Justice Mill Lane. (above sizzlers.) Aberdeen Martial Arts Group - Aberdeen, ScotlandIt's slightly different from self-defence (goes into how to give off signals that prevent you ending up in a situation where you need to defend yourself)They do the classes once a month and Pat Davies, who runs the club, is brilliant.

Metarie Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 ball kicking is always effective, but strangely it didn't even occur to me. I whacked him across the side of the face with my fist and he didn't even flinch. I like the idea of being able to assume some martial arts pose and muttering 'you wanna dance, fatboy?' but that'd probably do more harm than good.

Metarie Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 kerron got a broken nose????Ha, no. Well, he broke it years ago apparently but that's it. Not for lack of trying though, he seems pretty keen to defend my honour whenever possible, bless him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyCat Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 John, the doorman at The Moorings teaches martial arts/self defence. If you have a word with him he'll give you details of classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I've fucking had it with drunken reprobates trying (and sometimes managing) to cop a feel so I want to know that, should I be in that situation again, I can do something about it.Pervy arseholes like that make you almost ashamed to be male. Two options:1. Spit in his face, and he should instinctively raise his hands to wipe it away. Then hoof him in the sweetmeats as hard as you can. When he doubles up in pain, grab the back of his head and repeatedly knee him in the face until his lips are hanging off.2. Pretend to go along with it, then offer to take him round the corner for a bit of oral. Then bite his cock off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 WTF Scotland - The InstituteBased in Ellon and Aberdeen. I highly recommend it.EDIT: DO NOT go for ITF Taekwondo. The techniques they teach are really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 WTF Scotland - The InstituteBased in Ellon and Aberdeen. I highly recommend it.EDIT: DO NOT go for ITF Taekwondo. The techniques they teach are really bad.Bollocks. The techniques are perfectly good and much better than learning to "play a game" of Taekwondo like you do at WTF.More seriously (as I despise style bashing amongst martial arts) try a few classes and see what you prefer. Any school worth it's salt will let you attend 1 or 2 classes for free to see if it's for you or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Bollocks. The techniques are perfectly good and much better than learning to "play a game" of Taekwondo like you do at WTF.Having, trained with several people who moved from ITF to WTF I have to disagree when it comes to self defence but there is no point in going to discussion on this. You should try and attend a few different places though, like Chris said and find one that's confortable for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ITF for 2 years then switched to WTF for a couple of months when I went to Uni and I hated it. Everything was geared for competition and olympic style "games" and they did nothing on actual self defense. Wasn't what I was interested in at all. But there are good and bad schools in every style, so maybe I got a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to my knowledge there is only 1 in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 As someone mentioned, John, the doorman from The Moorings, can teach you how to finger someones brain through their eye socket....as well as other things. If you ask him, he usually has a card on him to give with information.That man could kill a tiger. With his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
