1 of the most significant lessons that you could ever discover about true-world self defense can be found in the Ninja’s unorthodox self-protection approaches. It’s the skill of considering and acting “outside the box!”
This article focuses on the capability to see something as a potential weapon in your own defense. So, read on and join me for a day at the grocery shop. Ninja-style!
Can you envision becoming out at the shop on your day off? The sun is shining, it’s a wonderful day, when all of a sudden there he is… the mugger who wants your money!
What do you do?
You’ve got your gun in the glove compartment, and your shuriken back at the dojo. OWLBLK have in your hand is a grocery bag complete of food!
Stick to me by way of the recesses of your grocery bag, as we back up to create important space and time – put the bag down, and start to employ surprising examples of the Ninja’s 5 primary weapon kinds.
The 1st factor we do is pull out a loaf of sliced bread and pull back as if to use it as a club. As quickly as the attacker stops to figure out what he’s looking at, we immediately tear the plastic open and enable ourselves to a number of slices.
As he recovers from his shocked disbelief, he starts to move in once more, only to uncover that he is becoming hit by bread shuriken – slices of the bread in your hand that you are launching at his face like the Ninja stars – projectile variety weapons – they resemble!
This gives you the needed time to attain back into the bag and pull out that bottle of soda you had been going to delight in on the way dwelling.
Now, with fury at the fool that you created of him with the bread, your assailant comes in at you with a clothing grab to take handle of the victim who thinks he’s a comedian. Except that as quickly as his hand grabs your shirt, he feels the splintering pain shoot through the back of his hand and up his outstretched arm.
As he starts to let go, the discomfort moves to his head, as the bottle is all of a sudden slammed into his face and the side of his head. As he reels from the brain-jarring attack, and tries to include his dizziness from the plastic, soda filled bottle – an instance of a stick or clubbing variety weapon – he turns back to you, only to be met by the explosive spray of liquid coming from the now charged bottle you just strategically opened in his path!
You move to pick up your remaining groceries and get out of there, when you really feel the grip of his huge arms wrap about you from behind.
As you drop the bag, you hold onto the bunch of celery that was waiting it really is turn inside. Then, applying the vegetable’s leafy end you attain over your shoulder as if to dust off his face – attacking his eyes with what he will soon come across is an instance of a mixture weapon kind. For the reason that, as he flinches back from the assault on his eyes, his grip loosens enough for you to shift to the side and slam the club-like bunch of celery into his groin.
Although he is doubled over, you appear into the bag and appear at the lone pack of lunch meat, sealed in that thick, plastic wrapper that requires super-human strength to open. You’re nevertheless looking at it, when you all of a sudden comprehend that he has upped the rules of the game, and is lunging at you with a knife.
Sidestepping the attempted stab, and bringing the serrated edge of the lunch meat wrapper across his cutting arm, opening him up with a reduce of your personal with your make-shift blade-variety weapon, you swiftly bring about him to drop the knife in his now wounded hand.
Undeterred, he reaches out and slaps the tiny package from your hand. Then, with a warning yell that speaks of his pain, aggravation, and humiliation…
…he makes a final attempt to do what he set out to do. Except, as his fist flies out to smash into your face, you slip by his moving arm to use the bag in your hand like the flexible weapon that it is. You deftly parry his arm to the side far enough to catch his head with the bag stretched among your hands.
As quickly as you know you have his balance, you shift into position for a rear hip throw and, applying the bag as a rope, you shift out – causing his head and neck to crash into the pavement – rendering him unconscious!
And, that’s how we Ninja are constantly “armed.” Except now you happen to be out of weapons…I mean food!
I guess it is back into the retailer to refill your grocery bag for dinner…
…or the next unsuspecting criminal who has no idea who he’s deciding upon as a target!
