The illusion and myth

The illusion and myth It 'always amusing when "know it alls" dismiss certain methods of hand as useless or "unworkable". A "victim" of this form of thought is the "cross arm" or "X" block (in the absence of a better term). You often hear phrases like "the myth of X-block." Usually this captivating "hook" leads to a debate this technique condemned in the strongest terms. Those who "know better" condemn the "obvious" errors in this basis and are more than enthusiastic about the devastating consequences of someone stupid enough to use it.Let 's another look at this: In our example, the use "Standard" X-block overhead against a top show "Ice Pick" handle with a stop knife.Now many "experts" will show how this "defense" may "receive". As the "defender" is open to any number of devastating follow-up. "One of the most frequently cited is the" rib "cut that dropped the wrists of defenders. The striker hammers with his blade, defender of the "cross arm" blocks, and then the attacker rip and retu. Sounds good, but it is realistic? Usually, this is demonstrated by Mr. experts set up the scenario. The above shows stab to come - the victim Blocks - Mr expert shows how easily one can oppose the attempt by the defense. Meisterhaft. Real world? NO! Why? Consider the elements of the real world violence.The the possibility that a party that knows the ability, or "training" and the other is very unlikely. Thus, no single first-hand knows what the other is doing, as the "victim" to react. A violent criminal attack is Swift, brutal and immediate. The attacker is not looking for a fight, a duel or a lasting commitment. He is counting on speed, shock and brutality. Remember. If you are set to "off" to someone, do not do this in the most appropriate way? It would be a violent, powerful and quick attacks. Furthermore, anger, hatred, desire and intention of chaos and it is obvious that the real world is not an attack "chess" game of movement and "counter" move. If the attacker wants to "do" it, try it with full ONE ASSAULT.To mediate an attack in the real world, it is, Error! No one is "half step" in this almost instinctively regard.The maneuvers of the cross is a block SURVIVAL reaction. It is a spasmodic gross motor skills that save lives NOW. This is a brutal "attack" against the attack, not a passive "Fang" fast attack.The nature cruel and brutal violence is for the shock and FREEZE "victim." The attacker is not thinking about walking on the street, he thinks NOW! The victims responded nature, with a fast and brutal forced "defense" is a momentary advantage of this reaction ATTACK.SIMPLE physics: A body in motion tends to stay in motion. The attack was "one" to succeed. The "failure" of direct attack will force the offender to make a conscious decision, after the first "failure" of the attack! The "Oh SH! T "principle. Plan "A", not that time. Of course, there could be a "switch" to move or an attempt to follow-up, but not perfect! Only in "training" environment as do the perfect combination of maneuvers to "work". And usually only when a party knows what the anticipated "answer" is. Real life is not so! Let's say I'm walking through the streets and Joey Bag-a-Ram Donuts decides hunting knife in my neck and chest, and I do not know from a can of beans, right? Those who believe that he forward his attack, to the extent that he believes that my response to his attack and then schedules follow-up to my counter-reaction? C'mon over. That makes no sense. Unless he is Kreskin has no way of knowing what will happen after his first attack. He is not hedging its bets. He is looking after the first strike / SWIFT KILL.The X "block" for the purpose it was intended. You can create your ASS! It must of course be linked to an immediate and violent attack, but as a move of opening well.Also serves the function of real-world contingencies. Many highly publicized "defensive" maneuver well, very well is impossible to drag on any number of unforeseen circumstances. Can a person be in any number of scenarios, which all but eliminates any other answer than that we are discussing.Charlie Nelson often a good way that only the bruised ego of the "know it all" to respond .. ...." Ok, let me see it again. "Charlie would .........." And only once has to work." And this is really the bottom ...... .. It has only once at work!
