Self Defence
Hi, there is quite a bit of interest in Self Defense and Martial arts in Qatar so, this is the place to come and discuss it. Make announcments, share advice, point out the the best dojos in town etc.
Many thanks,
Baz

Latest tech
By AbuAmerican on Thu, 15/05/2008 - 9:27pmHello all! I'm back! couldn't post to the self defense forum for some reason but I just figured out the problem so I am back.
Been lots of tech we have done since the last time I posted so I wont try to back log them all.
This past lesson we recapped the triangle from guard and basic attacks and escapes for the new people in the class and as a refresher to the old school people.
Remember the lessons are free and if you are looking to burn some calories off we have a cardio and physical work out.
I will post some videos of past tech here in the next few days and try and keep everyone filled in on or training and possible events in the future.

Today we did no GI fights and tech. We did a review of the triangle from guard and escape from side control (no GI) with transition to reverse arm bar (elbow facing down).
Hope to see you out there!

Interest in Self defense class *FREE*
By AbuAmerican on Thu, 06/03/2008 - 8:01pmLooking to get an idea of how many people here would be interested in a self defense course twice a week. We are looking at covering basic defense and advanced techniques later on. We will cover basic safety tips for women to include situational awareness and some basic psychology of those who assault women.
The course will be free of course and women are naturally welcomed as are men.
Shoot me a PM so I can get an idea of numbers and if it is something that is worth carrying forward.
Thanks!

Training partner
By AbuAmerican on Fri, 25/01/2008 - 9:44pmHello all,
Just looking for someone to train with 2 or 3 times a week. Looking for more of a self defense aspect as opposed to a full style with katas and the rest.
Doesn't matter what style it is just would like to train regularly with someone. I would prefer a stand up style, I train ju-jitsu with another group already but I get the feeling I am losing my stand up.
I trained in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Tsun and stick and knife fighting so I would of course share what I know if there is someone out there willing to do the same with their style.
PM me if you are interested!
Thanks all

Another Video with self defence in mind.

Womens Self Defence - Videos
By JBH on Tue, 14/08/2007 - 8:44pmI found some good womens self defence vids by a woman called Dr Ruthless.
I think this is quite credible.
Have a look and see what you think.

Welcome Grasshoppers!
By JBH on Mon, 02/07/2007 - 9:31pmIt has finally started.
You probably remember the interest a short while ago that never quite bore fruit.
But here is the fresh start.
As I am STILL not in Qatar yet I am limited to what I can offer practically.
But what a great push to get me and us up to scratch.
And I must say I didn't intend this to be a martial arts forum, if you have knowlege then share it.
But in practical easy to understand realistic terms, ok?
As a suggestion I think we could start by saying what we want from this.
Scenarios are a good starting point, leading to us sharing whatever knowlege we have.
Be it skills or plain old common sence.
I have things I can share and I am sure you do too.
Lest get the ball rolling.
