Wing Chun Kung Fu Bendigo

A great day at the ISKA Melbourne Open with our team doing a fantastic job .. Max and Daryl did particularly well against strong opposition.
Well done to Declan, Naomi, Max and Daryl. I’m very proud of you all.

A REAR CHOKE can kill you. The best defence is don’t get in one. 🤦‍♂️

But sometimes you don’t see the attack coming. 🤷‍♂️

And sometimes the attacker is bigger .. or just super strong. 💪

His grip just gets tighter ..
I have 2 to 3 seconds before I start going unconscious ..

Groin strikes .. hair grabs .. foot stomps .. eye gouges .. don’t always work.

A skilled attacker positions themselves to break your balance by lifting you up and back against him.

If I take even one hand away to strike, his grip will tighten and I will be choked.

I’m using both hands to pull the elbow down so I can still breathe.

I drop my body weight, pulling him forward an angle to the side levering one leg behind and pushing back to force him to fall backwards to the ground.

I was hoping he’d let go of the choke as he was falling, but he doesn’t .. 🤔
I still need air …

So now I throw my body over and turn .. pushing against him to turn him over and turn the tables .. then still holding his elbow tight .. using my head and body weight as a lever isolating his arm ..

Now I have him. Joint lock his elbow and wrist ..

I was lucky. If this was in the street and he had mates with him, I probably would’ve got my head kicked in.

This is just one scenario ..
Real world attacks are unpredictable and techniques you’ve been taught .. don’t always work. 🥋

You have to be able to stay calm .. fight to breathe .. fight to survive .. be aware of surroundings .. improvise and overcome.

Real world self-defence sometimes ends up on the ground.

If you never practice grappling and ground techniques it could cost you your life.

Remember, the best way to win fights is to avoid them. Stay safe.

COUNTER-WEAPONS WORKSHOP

Practical Skills. Real Situations. Increase Your Survivability.
Violent attacks involving knives and impact weapons and fi****ms happen fast, at close range, and often with little warning.
The ICS Counter-Weapons Workshop is designed to give you practical, reality-based skills that can make the difference when seconds count.
This isn't sport fighting or choreographed martial arts.
This is training based on how violence actually unfolds.
During this intensive 3-hour workshop you'll learn:

✔ Understanding real-world weapon threats
✔ Positioning, movement and distance management
✔ Practical defences against knives and improvised weapons
✔ Clinch control and counter-attacking principles
✔ Decision making under pressure
✔ High-percentage tactics that work under stress

Whether you're new to self-defence, an experienced martial artist, or work in security or law enforcement, this workshop will give you practical skills that can be applied immediately.
