I have been training for the last 20+ years in a Okinawan derived style called Bushin Ryu.
In that time I've also dabbled in some other arts and had the good fortune to train under some excellent people.

Attacked by black belt While we can certainly sympathize with you regarding this, it is an extremely localized and subjective question which is not a good fit for the site. I would speculate that you are also missing detail from the question - people seldom attack without at least some sort of trigger event. In any case local law enforcement should be your first recourse. If you want you can edit and rephrase your question at which point we can consider reopening it. |

What are the possible signs some has lost consciousness when being choked? You bring up a good point - just because someone is out cold it doesn't mean their eyes are shut and their body is limp. |

Stretches for kicking? Was the pain at the front or back of the leg, i.e. at the top of the quads or hamstrings? Or was it higer still, maybe at the bottom of your abdominals? Or in between? Which splits can you do - longitudinal ("American") or side ("Chinese")? |

What is shen energy? Is there such a thing as a “shen state” and if so, how does it come about? Ron, your question is closed for now, but if you rephrase it and put a bit more into it then it may be able to be reopened. |

Krav Maga, is it 100% legal for defense? @Tzvi Hehe, if you walk around like that then people will indeed think you are "special" and the men in white coats won't be far away ;) But being serious, once you've trained long enough the "always be aware" concept will become more obvious to you - you don't have to be walking around in the "ready to spar" pose. For example I can walk down the street texting on my phone and still be totally aware - in fact the phone can be utilized as a weapon. You should be able to attack or defend from any angle and any pose/stance. |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? Personally I would consider biting a valid but somewhat ineffectual and momentary distraction - if you are in a situation where "non-legal" moves are okay then there is a good chance your opponent is whacked out on something (adrenaline at the very least) and can ignore a bite. IOW the bite better be followed up by something else pretty quick for it to have any benefit. |

Is martial arts training 'inadequate' for the real world? People are not offended with your previous post, they simply disagree with your answer to the question (which could also be because of the original formatting you had or they may simply not understand what you are saying in the way you expected). |

What is Fa-jin? I can't help but muse... surely the "strength" that "flows through the body" would be more accurately described as Qi, especially when the term is used within the context of the internal arts? |

Are martial arts helpful in dealing with pain from a sedentary lifestyle? @Soutrik I would consider you to be quite skinny :) Those were simply some common problems I threw out there for consideration. You really should see a specialist - it might be expensive but living a pain (and injury) free life can be worth the expense. It could even be a simple problem. If you seek treatment and feel comfortable talking about it then let us know how it goes. |

How do I determine which pieces of wood I can safely attempt to break with my fist? Mandatory philosophical answer: you would know if you were ready for breaking a broom handle, you wouldn't need to ask :) |

Are martial arts helpful in dealing with pain from a sedentary lifestyle? @DaveLiepmann They weren't diagnoses they were suggestions, and I thought I made it clear he should consult a specialist (curiously a few answers fail to mention that). In my answer I drew upon my knowledge and experience and mentioned some areas for further research, much like you did in yours. I simply outlined some of the common ways his job could cause those injuries (based on personal experience), this is the same experience that enables me to answer with some authority on another medical related question. |

What is the best way to determine board-breaking ability? From a martial arts perspective this is an ok question, but from a physics perspective it is so fundamentally flawed that words fail me... unfortunately my physics side managed to dominate my MA side on this one. |

Martial arts with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)? @RobZ Thanks for the follow up and I hope you are making progress with healing it. Yours is an edge case (the footnote covers your case :), but I'll leave my answer as-is because it still applies to normal people and may be of help to someone else.Hope you're back to normal practice soon! |

What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? Sorry @Dave, but it's not a one-in-a-million shot. I've been there, I've been on the receiving end as a training partner, I've taught it - it works beautifully. Of course it shouldn't be the only thing they know and rely on, like any other technique it does have its chances at failure. Your challenge is to teach them simple effective techniques that they will hardly (if ever) practice between the occassional session with you. |

Designs for a Board Breaker / Board Holder? Nice :) From your article: Matching the two sides of a board from a pile of halves can be a challenge - the solution is to break more boards, thus producing more options :) Moar!! |
