How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? @stslavik a lot of those guys grew up on the streets and have had to handle themselves in very serious real life situations. Will every MMA/UFC fighter do well in a life safety situation, I'm not saying that, what I'm saying is people see these guys do some amazing things in controlled environments and think, "Sure I can do that when a knife on me..." |

Which martial arts focus on self defense? @Ginamin I think your pretty bang on. My issue that a lost of martial arts that people train in they rarely work with other people. So when they get hit for the first time in a real situation it phases them. Personally I trained in Karate when I was younger and now in West Coast MMA and BJJ and I feel far more confident when interacting with an opponent. Krav Maga is wicked and real world test, like MCMAP. But getting trained in them is probably outside most peoples ability. |

Drills for reducing your natural “flinch” reaction Great answer! Repeated exposure to the stimulus should desensitize the natural reaction. |

How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? @stslavik agreed, but according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=43) you have a 19% to 22% chance of encountering a weapon in a violent crime or aggravated assault. I work closely with my local LE and from my experiences your far more likely to end up in that ornate and comfortable casket if you escalate the situation by responding with physical force. Were not all pro MMA fighters or Bruce Lee's and need to let the other younger martial artists out there know that they are not faster then a bullet. |

How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? @stslavik The point that I'm trying to make is that just because it's a violent situation doesn't mean you automatically have to resort to violence on your side, i.e. the mugging example, Id just give up the money. In the CCW example I said "deadly physical force would be warranted", we should all be aware of the legal ramifications of our actions with or without weapons. Nothing is ever black or white, every situation is different. The vibe I got from Sardathrion post was that we, as martial artists, should avoid violence whenever possible. |

How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? GrandmasterB and David, in a situation like a car jacking, mugging, home invasion or otherwise you still have the option of responding with force. For example in a mugging you can attempt to use physical force, or hand over your money. So you still have the option of how your going to respond. If it gets to the point where deadly physical force would be warranted I'm gonna skip over martial arts and go to my CCW. |

What's the difference between Internal and External martial arts? Yea I'd agree, answer is pretty good in my opinion. I'd also completely agree with the spectrum comment. |

Are there legal ramifications to being a trained martial artist? Very good answer. I have not seen, in any jurisdiction, where black belts or martial artists have to register themselves as lethal weapons. But in a trial your training will come into question and because of your training you should have been able to control yourself, which could lead to a stiffer penalty or sentence. |

What's the most effective way to discipline students (particularly juniors)? Some kids get a rise making other in the class to push ups, and/or like showing off when they do them alone as punishment. I think tacone's answer is bang on, but if punishment is needed have them sit out for blocks of time. |

Do all schools of BJJ come from the same root? I've studied in RCJ Machado BJJ which branched from Carlos Gracie's Jiu-jitsu school. So the Machado BJJ also follows the Mitsuyo Maeda line. I don't know if any BJJ schools out that that teach BJJ that can't trace their linage back to Mitsuyo Maeda. |
