Would love to hear the delightful insight of the value of "boxing" for street defense situations from any of the several boxing trolls in my martial arts thread. ![[Image: tard.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/new/tard.gif)
I did boxing for many years, english, american, thaï ..
The techniques are totally useless for the street.
The cardiovascular condition, reflexes, peripheral vision etc are not.
France also forbids carrying a knife - I still have one on myself at all times.
It is far from being the best weapon for the street though, stopping power is limited and consequences are usually pretty serious - ideally you'd want the exact opposite.
There is something to be said about whether you would want to respect the laws of a country which does not allow you to defend yourself.
I assume the UK also forbids batons ?
What about a big flashlight or something you could also use indirectly as a weapon ?
I don't know about a flashlight or baton, I will let a local answer that question.
It is morally wrong and unethical to not defend yourself from death and injury. Laws and ethics are not always on the same page. If it were me I would carry something if I was not skilled enough or comfortable enough to use my hands. A force multiplier does not always have to be a knife, stick, or gun. A strong can of pepper spray (not that wimpy shit, get the stuff that has a thick jet) can stop pieces of shit in their tracks. Just make sure you know what direction the wind is blowing before you spray, just pivot and spray quickly in a sweep then go for individual eyes. Once they get a taste most back off.
Bear grade spray or those ghost pepper level ones seem to be the best ones I have seen. Knowing the UK, yeah you might still go to jail for using it, but at least you did not stab or kill someone.
I don't recommend stun guns and tasers, especially in places with cold weather. Jackets and coats will defeat those prongs. There are actually a few videos of UK police getting wrecked by some scumbag after their stun guns failed. Even if the taser worked, if you stop their heart with it and they die, I am certain you will be on the hook for it.
Shit what about brass knuckles? You know for a fact if you can box well and get at least one punch on a piece of trash, you can believe it would be a 1 hitter quitter. Sometimes being old school can work out. Wearing knuckles you can probably jab-cross each guy and lay them down and keep moving in a circle on the outside. If you have a very bad arm reach length, would be probably the worse aspect of that. Clock a few and run and maybe you can get away. Goes without saying, toss the knuckles in a river later on.... I doubt thugs will snitch on that because it would mean they snitched on themselves, but too many dudes these days are pussy, I would not chance it.
