Hello all,I'm no fighter, and I don't plan on getting into any scuffles, so this question is moreso one of curiosity than practicality, but still.I'm a small, very thin guy (5'8" and barely 130 lbs.)…Continue

Hello gents, On multiple occasions I've attempted to grow a full beard, but it has never succeeded. My chin grows out very quickly, and continues to grow, while everywhere else lags behind. My cheeks…Continue

(Firstly, this is not a "political" post as I am not pushing my opinions or starting debate.)I would very much like to take time to talk about something significant that the Art of Manliness has made…Continue

Derek replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Surviving the End of the Semester"I'm a junior going through the same thing, and if I can offer any advice, it's this: you'll get through it. But be warned, it NEVER gets easier to deal with, and every single semester you'll feel like there's no possible way…"

Alright, so I'm trying to make all the time I waste on the internet at least a little more productive (rather than flipping between Facebook and Twitter). Other than this blog, music blogs, and the occasional news article, I actually don't read much else. So, what are some intelligent, interesting blogs you frequent? I'm looking specifically intellectually stimulating content, but I'm open to anything.Oh, I subscribe to Delanceyplace, which is a daily email with a passage from recent…See More

Sebastian Blanchard replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"Let me preface this in saying that I am 40 years old and it has been years since I have been in a proper fight and I am glad of that fact. I have read all the posting on this topic and am quite surprised by many of the responses. The…"
Peter Ross replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"Some really great responses here, especially the ones that emphasise not fighting. Apart from the very good reasons they gave (jail being just one) the most important reason has not yet been covered: none of the technical advice here is going to…"
Stein replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"Well you had to to it for work, and probably in some dangerous situations. I can understand that for sure. I liked the adrenaline, using my wits, and kicking a guy's ass who deserved it.

Christopher replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"I'll second this; for one reason in particular. A martial arts class will always include repetitive drills.
I think you would get half the value of any martial arts class by simply buying a heavy bag and spending the same amount of…"
Eric Ragle replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"I have a pretty deep hatred for fighting now. I've never cared for it, but after getting knocked to and fro, I came to despise it. I used to miss the adrenaline but I eventually got that under control with meditation."
Stein replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"In my younger days, i always took a fight to the ground as quickly as possible. You have much more control down there, and can regain control if you can maintain your endurance. Kind of miss a good fight."
Eric Ragle replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"Hi, I'm new here and this is the first topic I clicked on. That said, I think I can give you some good advice. I'm 35, and I've worked as a bouncer, a deputy sheriff, and also spent 10+ years as a correctional officer. I've had…"
Lucas Loureiro Mansur replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"As it has been said in this discussion, Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are the best self-defense arts in the world. I've practiced Krav Maga for 6 months, i sadly had to quit due to pre-med school, but intend to get back at it as soon as…"

David R. replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?"Unless you're talking about fighting for sport, which I don't think you are, you want to avoid the ground at all cost.
