If your partner had any form of training in martial arts or fighting skills, would you want them to teach you a few things?


- Heck yeah! I love fight sport things and I would love to know what I can improve or if I can hold my own against that kinda thing, sense I just kinda do what feels right in the situation.Is this still revelant?

1016- My boyfriend does a bunch of grappling and he's tought me some basics, but he also said he feels more comfortable with me being smart cause size matters when it comes to fighting and so does having a weapon so knowing something like grappling is better as a push and run kind of thing more than self defenseReact

- I don't like to ask for favours but if they volunteered to teach I'd be happy - I used to take karate lessons at school when our university was offering 3 free lessons to all students to promote the paid lesson package you could buy if you wanted to continue the lessons once the 3 free lessons were over - I didn't learn karate for self defence - I just thought it was a fun and interesting pass time so I took the 2 free lessons and then disappeared.React

I'm a cop. When I was in the academy and we were doing PT and defensive tactics I would come home and make him let me practice my holds and finger locks on him 😂 He wouldn't let me touch him lmao
Always game to learn more.ReactLike

As someone who has done some Krav Maga, I would not mind if my partner wanted someone to practice her moves.
- I'm always down to assimilate some of my SO's interests whether it's martial arts or art history or even cosmetics (not to apply myself, but just to understand the art and terms better -- I like being able to see the world through my partner's eyes in a sense). So I'd likely ask and take lots of interest.React

I'm also a kickboxer so we might be able to exchange notes. Ideal to me would be to learn grappling from SO -- it's my ultimate weak point as a pure striker.
- Not particularly if he wanted to train me I would let him do but I wouldn't ask for him to train him. I wouldn't want to be a bother to him.
I'm not skilled in fighting and don't particularly enjoy it (i just used it as a defense things, as a child I used to mainly used it as attack which lead me to trouble).
Only stuff I know how to do is throw a good kick, some keys and using someone strength against them (using their strength to make them fall on the ground).ReactLike

- I'm a martial artist. And I won't be teaching my partner any stupid krav maga 'gun disarmaments'. I'd love to teach a girl though, if she's interested.React

- Hell yes. My parents tried to put me in a martial arts class but I didn’t learn a damn thing thanks to my auditory processing disorder. That was in first grade and I was never allowed to return because they think I will fail despite having enough therapy to function normally.React

- Oh definitely. I don't have the money to take classes or I would have started some form of self-defense classes a while ago. I'm a really small dude so pretty much everyone is bigger than me. If I ever had to defend myself, I would want to know howReact

Dude, I think if special forces used that kind of techniques before it even was taught to the public, I'm pretty sure it works.
Well you're not going to run to the guy if you're too far, it's dumb but, if the guy is dumb enough to get too close (like when some random thug wants to take your wallet), then you can disarm him and steal his weapon. That's what this technique is about and trust me it's quick and efficient once you know how to do it.

Well, you probably have not seen how fast these techniques are. Of course, if you're not smart, run at the guy, don't wait until he is less jumpy or something like that, it won't work. But, if you think about what you're doing at least a bit, you will know when the time is right.
Except you forgot some things : the reaction time, the time between the guy realizing what is going on and him shooting accurately, the panic and surprised induced from the sudden reaction that could make you gain some precious time and that could cause him to miss too. It's not you move a hair and bam you're dead. Realistically, there are more factors.
Besides, as you grab the gun, you move yourself away too so they will have to redirect their aim if they want to hit you.
