fast as lightning
saw a great little segment on television this evening so i grabbed my camera to film the last part of it.
it was a quick series of self-defense techniques for a females who might be accosted on the subway. this is was a summary of a combo maneuver- click on the thumbnail above to see the clip (3.8mb). you might learn something!
the above clip (4.3mb) is a complex spin and elbow reversal maneuver, perhaps derived from aikido. it's of course important to smile at one's attacker to show there are no hard feelings.

I just saw your blog today... through the Star Wars thing of course. But very interesting stuff. It's cool to see stuff from Shanghai that you post. I'm always looking for interesting blogs from other countries.
Damn, your videos always crash my archaic (and now apparently worm-susceptible) Windows 2000 laptop. I was hoping to see the real-life button combination for "knee to groin". Oh wait, that's one of Sophitia's moves in Soul Edge.
Good to know stuff. Let it be a warning to guys: if you're in Japan, before groping, be aware that the girls might retaliate.
pip, thanks for the kind words!
initiael, have you tried watching the video using a different player?
haph- groping in japanese trains is notorious. a while back they started female-only trains to try and help the situation.
Thats interesting about the groping thing. A Japanese man just got some serious jail time for groping a 19 year old woman in the States. Vids work fine.
Is it wrong to think I would enjoy getting beaten up by this girl?
If so, I certainly don't. Really. Stop staring.
I think maybe they should just segregate the trains fairly. One of the block to female only, the other block to be male only to balance the load!
This is eerily like the "Breakaway" techniques we get taught when working in Psychiatry to escape from people who get a little irate :D
