How To protect Yourself - A secret for Defending Against A Larger Attacker From The Art of Ninjutsu
Are you seeing for how to protect yourself against a bigger, stronger, larger, and heavier attacker? What do you do when the man threatening to beat, break, or kill you is two and half times bigger or stronger than your training partners in class?
This narrative takes a look at an retort to this problem. One that comes from an unlikely source within the realm of old ninjutsu training - the self-protection recipe of Japan's old Ninja.
It's not that it's surprising to most that there is anything to learn about real self-defense from the Ninja. It's just that this tactic is probably as far from your mind, when defending against a larger attacker, as you can maybe get for the contemporary self-defense practitioner and student.
Why?
Because, beating a larger, stronger attacker, or just one who is more physically carport and superior than you are can be a real problem. And the old Ninja and Samurai knew this as well. In fact, the Ninja of old Japan often had to defend against a Samurai who was not necessarily larger, but who was encased in a suit of armor!
What this means is that they were defending against an opponent who was twice their own weight, and had very few vulnerable targets exposed. Armor also made many grabbing and grappling techniques practically impossible due to the further size and mass that you had to work with (and against).
Can you imagine having to defend against man like this?
I can, because being only 5' 6", and weighing in at a mere 155lbs when I was a police officer (I've gained a little since then)...
I had to deal with people like this all the time!
In fact, this is the rule - not the irregularity - when it comes to beyond doubt knowing how to protect yourself.
So, how do you apply your techniques to man like this? How do you defend yourself and hit man who's body mass protects otherwise great targets?
How do you apply a wrist reversal, shoulder dislocation technique (like the musha dori, "Warrior-catch" or oni-kudaki, "Demon crusher" techniques in ninjutsu and jujitsu), when he can stop you in your tracks with just the slightest estimate of muscle contraction?
The retort is... You don't!
Well, not in the usual way anyway.
You see, most of the techniques that you're going to learn in the dojo - especially if your training is little to the "official" kata - have you always working with, and on, training partners that are your size! That means that the technique is showing you...
How to "enter", or set things up, so that you can apply the technique with those dynamics!
But, when you're facing man much larger, stronger, or heavier - man who is physically very dissimilar from you - you Must go about things in a very dissimilar way. That is, if you're serious about knowing how to protect yourself - on the road - not just seeing like you can in class!
But how?
This is where a very strange part comes in. Especially for those who have a perfect and utter disdain for former martial arts or historical lessons whatsoever.
What I'm talking about is the old skill of dealing with man wearing...
Armor!
To cut to the chase, you have to understand that, in both instances - contemporary and historical - you cannot direct your intention, attacks, or power against a larger attacker (or man wearing his own body weight in armor) the same way that you commonly would if the odds were fair and even. Even positioning that would break the balance of man your own size, often times doesn't come close to working against a larger, heavier attacker, because he just has more to work with.
So, again...
What do you do?
And the retort is that you direct your attention away from his core - away from his center. You focus on his shoulders and hips - at the points of his torso. This allows you to use leverage against his spine, hips, and core - without running into the vigor of his arms and larger muscle groups.
Then, the more you take his balance, the more his targets will open up, and the more you will be able to take him with some of your other techniques.
To see this in action, all you need to do is watch a few Sumo matches. Because the techniques in Japanese Sumo come directly from Yoroi Kumi-uchi ("fighting in armor")!
When you watch, be sure to look for the alternating, open-hand shoves to the shoulders, or to one shoulder and the opposite hip. This causes him to counter-twist against his own stability, and serves to break down the balance and posture of a large opponent.
