On fighting in mufti
As everyone knows, kung fu masters wear colourful silks, ninjas wear ninja costumes, and karateka wear a white gi, a coloured belt with no footwear. Exactly what does your average thug or mugger wear? Comfortable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], perhaps fashionable clothing, something that won't draw too much attention. Not to mention some type of trainers or boots or whatever. Let's think about this for a moment.
When threatened with violence, many people would consider removing their galoshes a flawed course of action, indeed to most people such a notion would completely fail to occur. This really is sensible. To begin with, while man might have marched the terra firma discalced for countless aeons before nike came along, mother earth's skin aint as soft as once it was with no amount of aloe vera is going to help. We have paved gaia and must now accept the effects in our actions.
And then we aren't likely to be taking our shoes off. But what does this mean when it comes to our mad unarmed combat skills? Will this affect our kicking? Or our balance? In short yes company. Company to a lot more questions that weren't asked yet. The addition of footwear to a trained martial artist includes a great many effects, which on first sight may seem to become negative. But let's ignore footwear for a moment and consider the effects of your day-to-day clothing.
The main problem with 'normal' clothes is the sheer selection of different characteristics. Some clothing is heavy, some light, some loose, tight, restrictive, noisy, prone to electrostatic buildup, expensive, hot - other great tales as well as on. There are three approaches as I view it:
Choose clothes carefully
Learn how to fight within the clothes you typically wear
Avoid fighting when your clothes hinder you excessively
Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the third approach is definitely preferable, but a commitment to avoidance is not preparedness why don't we consider the first option. Choosing your clothes is really a no brainer - you need to wrap yourself in clothing much like that in which you train. Gi trousers are often baggy and unrestrictive (particularly around the crotch region) which means you need to locate these qualities inside your normal trousers. (That's pants to you yanks. baggy pants within the british lexicon means something entirely too silly to consider.) Similarly, trousers ought to be light, but strong. These qualities could be pretty simple to come by for street wear but it can be a little harder to get a suit tailored this way - it might probably look just a little odd.
For that torso, again the same principles apply - you want unrestrictive, light and strong articles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], preferably only possible. Don't go a lot for that baggy stuff here, if anything you want to keep your arms clear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but when you must wear sleeves, try to wear something as light as possible, fairly close fitting and preferably in some manner elasticated. Unfortunately here is where suits really suck. Suit shirts (particularly cheap ones) is often very restrictive - they're simply not created for these items. Try and locate one that's at ease with movement, or ask your tailor that will help you locate one that's less restrictive - you can say that you've sensitive skin and do not like restrictive clothes - you don't have to say "make us a shirt for kicking ass in". If you need to wear a suit jacket on top then so be it. Try to get one that you could take off quickly. Firstly it's much harder to battle whilst wearing it, secondly it could get ripped or alternatively, if you are not too fussed concerning the jacket then you could use it like a weapon (provided you've some clue in regards to what you're doing). If you need to wear a tie then get a clip-on one that you will soon remove. As for women's clothing, skirts can be quite restrictive, not just to kicking, but additionally to general stance and balance. Looser skirts or dresses are better, but you may not especially want to kick someone in the head if you are wearing a dress. Women's clothing is generally designed much more from the fashion perspective than men's clothing, and balancing practicality and elegance can be very difficult.
The second approach - learning to fight within the clothes you typically wear - is worth some attention. In a nutshell, my advice is to at the very least evaluate how a particular get-up affects your movements. If you were able to choose your clothing as directed above then you will find your movements less restricted. You should try to see which moves particularly tend to be more affected. For instance, you will probably realize that kicking above waist height is impossible in suit trousers or jeans.
Evaluate your clothing for disadvantages, for example, ties or scarves can be used by your assailant against you. Many ensembles may be unsuitable for scrapping, but could be made 'fight-ready' via some simple modifications. For instance, a loose suit jacket could be quickly slipped from the shoulders, a clip-on tie can be detatched easily, short skirts could be hiked up a little to become a bit less restrictive (having a bit of luck your assailant may be temporarily distracted with this action. particularly if you are a man).
Most significant of all is your arms are relatively free. Whilst your legs are stronger, your arms and hands are the primary weapons and defence. No matter if you're a Karateka or a wrestler,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you'll need your arms. Practice punches, blocks and locks (or whatever you're adept with). Identify weakened moves and either adjust your clothing or learn how to use other techniques in their stead.
Finally, shoes along with other footwear. Firstly, it should be obvious the rules above apply straight to shoes because they do to clothing. However I've chose to make this a separate section because footwear mustn't be overlooked. Should you choose little else, you should consider your footwear. Why? Simple. Since you need the feet to work like feet. Not stumps, wheels, stilts, roots or pogo sticks. If you cannot run inside your shoes then you can't fight inside them either. It's that easy. Your feet are your interface using the ground, and if they fail you are in big trouble. Unfortunately, as we all know, most women's footwear is utterly unsuitable for actually moving about in. Ladies you've two choices:
Ditch the heels
Get quick release footwear
The very best footwear for fighting in is what is really as close as possible to no shoes at all. This doesn't mean less material, it simply means less deviation from feet. Light trainers - good. Simple, comfortable shoes - ok. Good boots - variable, usually ok but see later. Sandles - bad. Heels - bad. Platforms - bad. Stilletos - you shouldn't be silly.
Boots can be ok provided they're not too far removed from basic army or walking boot format. Goth boots are often just too damn heavy. They'll anchor you to the floor ok,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but if you stumble, or attempt to kick, or have to run then you're in danger.
If you need to wear something inappropriate then make sure you can get them off fast. Yes that entails you'll be barefoot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but grazed feet is better than broken ankles. Better yet there's actually an upside. stilletos make fearsome weapons! Whip em off, grab one (raise your foot for your hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't stoop or you will get rushed) and then assume the position. In case your would-be assailant is now facing a 3 inch steel point they might possess a sudden change of heart.
If you're wearing goth boots then try to assume a good stance and don't move from it unless utterly necessary. Bear in mind that you are able to still work low kicks and grinds together with your foot-armour at close range. Also you're less likely to obtain your legs kicked out. Knee strikes may also be effective and if you can get them up fast the extra weight will prove to add considerable momentum (but of course be harder and slower to lift). Tall platform goth boots are just dangerous and should be avoided no matter what. They create you unstable and can't be removed quickly.
You will get fighting techinques training shoes with specially molded 'pivot points' and so forth about the sole. These are obviously well suited for fighting in, but might look a little weird should you exhaust them and about. It may be seen as premeditation, and, coupled with a particularly effective win, (ie you hospitalise unhealthy guy) could make things go very badly for you personally within the courts.
Whatever footwear you get wearing, try to look for time to practice inside them. If kicks are impractical don't worry too much about this, but be sure you can hop and jump about as you might be prepared to in a fight. Try runnning inside them. You will be surprised how tiring just a little added weight could be. Few fighting techinques schools will help you to train inside your daily pumps - this is usually for insurance reasons - so you will need to practice in your own home. For those who have a like-minded friend you'll be able to work together. Just be sure you warm up and stretch properly in advance. Yes I know, in a real situation you will not have a chance to complete lunges before you decide to knock heads, but at the time you'll be pumped with adrenalin and won't notice your torn hamstrings before next morning. Also, take it slowly, starting point. Shoes grip the floor differently to your feet, and also you don't have the sense of connection with the floor. Your balance will be affected, and it is easy to damage your ankles if you don't be mindful. Work on a variety of surfaces - wood, soil, grass, concrete etc.
One further point: There is no substitue for practice, and unfortunately for you, your assailant is likely to have were built with a lot more practice fighting in his street clothes. In addition he'll be dressed for that occasion, and may even have a few tricks up his sleeves should things start going badly for him. Be careful. Avoid fighting if you are able to. A great anti-mugging tip would be to keep all of your old credit cards and buy an inexpensive wallet. Fill it with the old cards and about ten quid (twenty dollars) or so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along with a little bit of change,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and carry it inside your opposite pocket. Firstly if anyone threatens you and requests your wallet you are able to give them the 'fake' one - they're going away happy and you don't lose your important stuff. Secondly it means you always have some spare change for emergencies. Always toss the wallet over and do not appear to be looking too hard at the attacker simply because they may attack you if you 'see too much'. But always expect the attack. Just know it's coming, and be prepared to defend and retaliate. And if you do have to retaliate then do a sufficient job - don't allow them counter-retaliate or which may be the finish of you. (Don't kill them though, or you'll visit jail. Fun this is not it?).
