LAST RESORT dj tech tool

[ohmydaze]

what sort of ghetto are you playing in where you need to take self defence equipment with you. Some of the set ups you guys have with so many controllers and armoury must mean you rock up to a gig with a truck load of stuff!

I had the most amazing flashback to the bass battle from Scott Pilgrim when you said that. Anybody?

No. I'm not 12.

best to just call security....but yeah....I hear ya....sometimes you need to do what you need to do.

+1 on on this one!

On a side note:
I have done Kyokushin Karate myself, and within the first lesson, you notice that it is in fact much easier to kill someone than to injury someone.
Just a though when striking to the sternum with an object.


But to be honest:

[sarasin]

Knees....i usually just go for the knees!

haha I thought that tampon taser was an ipod accessory at first glance.

Physical force was mentioned by OP as a last resort. And if you ever have to resort to PF, it must be a decisive violence of action...that's what practice/repetition is for.

Funny alternative ideas.. I guess most people here take it as a joke..which on a public forum is the norm. What I think is interesting.. is how most people dont even read the original post and just follow the responses like a herd of cows or lemmings.

From personal martial art expierence i know that thes "tricks" do not work in Real life. You would have to have practiced a certain technique 100 of times before you can and will use it in combat. Cause when the tension rises, anything that isn't memorised will simply go away. When you feel threathened just call thebouncers. If he attacks you, run away. If runing away isn't possible, just punch him in the face and then run away. Just punching someone on his face, will make him stop. (Despite what action movies may say). The best alternitive is ofc learing a martial art.

if you have any experience in martial arts... you know this has nothing to do with tricks... chances are you learned a happymeal karate kid style that only works when standing in front of a microsoft kinect.


Im not sure if my english is bad and LAST RESORT means something different.. or mabey other peoples english is translating it to a place you take vacations at.

try doing this in a dj booth with all the equipment and people around


the alcohol factor can produce random situations..

I'm not a fan of those things, because they tie both of your hands up controlling one of theirs…if you aren't fast enough or do it wrong, their other 3 limbs can cause damage very quickly (though that can be a problem with all join-lock techniques). And they're not that much effective for joint locks or as a striking weapon than properly using your body anyway. And they can only be used effectively for wrist locks at that…wrist locks are extremely dangerous, because they can cause damage very quickly…and depending on the laws where you are, using a weapon like that can be illegal. Using your body is almost never illegal, though there are some places where being trained in martial arts classifies your body as a weapon in such encounters.

Honestly, just take a few classes in Krav Maga. The techniques work, and the training is done in an induced fatigued state that models stress and fear better than anything else I've experienced.

Based on experience in controlled situations, if you think those things are going to help you and you and I get into a fight…it's going to end with me calling a lawyer and you waking up in the hospital. The same may not be said for all drunk punters who think you owe them something, but it's not worth the risk.

Well I agree with you on most points... Krav maga is definitely the most realworld application. Our SF guys get bad ass IDF krav maga teachers showing them lots of lethal and non lethal moves using anything laying around. so even a midi fighter could be lethal. The legality part is something important I failed to put in.. very good point if you can get in trouble for just having it on you.



mabey I should of titled this .. best last resort for a dj booth fight.
Im also not trying to say there is a 50% chance you will ever need this... I put down 0.01% and you can do the math for how often you dj and what that number really means.

Ah, you saw the match that was on versus yesterday too? Awesome last WEC title fight. Who do you think he will be up against; Maynard or Edgar.
(My money would be on Edgar tbh)

Well, I'm still quite partial to Systema too. I still don't know what would be more effective in he streets between these two.
