Happy Womens Day




Psychology of Combat : Dedicated to Courageous Women






Time was fixed


Plan was set@ nano level


Dressed to kill

This was the description of an ultra pretty gujarati gal whom i met few days back.Everything went like clockwork till she over looked one point.Dressed to kill can attract scavenging and satiating eve teasers .It was totally out of blue and this unwanted suitor was bent on talking to her and luckily he was mild teaser and left before anything serious can happen .Comming out of no where , a total unknown person who is trying to strike conversation or trying to pass some vulgar comment can really perplex anyone and leave a bad scar on memory.

You need not be as beautiful as this tiny sweet gal pal of mine , it can happen to anyone irrespective of ur gender.Either the perpetrator can be highly frustrated and perveted or really dangerous or just harmless chap looking fer some fun at ur cost.
"You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face"
From my vague birds view knowledge on martial arts and psychology behind a combat i will pen downfew thoughts of mine which i may or may not come in handy and i gurantee no results but neverthless helpful in our daily life .



Half of combat/fight can be seen through our body languages .No person will pick up a fight or a arguement with a heavily built macho man. and no one can say absolutely that he/she is the strongest either.Strength doesnt lies in muscles but in mind.One can read a woman from 1000 yards and say if she is confident and composed or timid and insecure or is she willing to talk or not .If a gal can kep herself calm n composed demeanour , more often than not , it keeps teasers away. We can always say if she is or she isnt confident.See the way she folds her hands close to her chest and with head down and seeing at sides as if she is new to the place. On contrary, see how an a confident gal walks . she has the confidence radiating in her gait and looks straight into eyes with head up.How ever all these signs need not be true as can vary according to culture and circumstances and fer a person who is a risk taker, nothing can stop him.
"To manipulate the fear of others, you must first conquer your own fear"



In such a circumstances , trying to rush away or getting scared only boosts opponents confidence.If things of nasty type occur in broad day light and with fewer crowd around , its always fine to face them or him .Just looks straight into his eyes and utter no word .Let there be no expression on ur face .if possible give a crude- rude look and maintain stone dead silence for an extended period .Silence can be killing and best of men will get wilted as it upsets anyone as silence can be frustrating.After piercing gaze fer few moments just turn away ur face n walk out.
Now if we move to still dangerous rascals who are out for a real kill, its not psychological but physical combat that comes into handy.Running is the best option.If ur good at running , Run off to some crowded area and take help of public , police .They are always eager crowd to help a damsel in distress.

"There are those without decency who must be fought without hesitation, without mercy"But not always crowd helps , fer everyone is busy aand have their own lives to fend fer and their interests are primary.When you start helping yourself ,World helps you.

Even the strongest man has the weakest point.Strong man need not be brave man and vice versa .

"The training is nothing! The will is everything! The will to act.Strength lies in Will, not muscles"
If we can kep our head calm and composed we can escaoe from most of situations with little or no big damages.But it should be clearly remebered ,Once u get into combat , dont expect clean fight and dont fear about consequences,Fear ,Shame, Pride and Pain should be dumped in the nearest dustbin.There is no such thing as clean fight.Both the combatants have ro face injuries and the one who endured the most is the survivor and the victorious .



An old karate saying goes



"When two tigers fight, one tiger dies and another gets wounded"

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard. Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely — lay your life before him----Bruce Lee


If there is no safety option and combat is the only way out.Go for a real kill.



"Prey can escape from Predator only by becomeing predator".(Jasons Directive)
Look at a human body, there are many weak points .Groin,Eyes balls,Nose.,Lips, Throats, Stomach ,temple and now look at our own body parts , you ve got many parts which are very hard and effective fer combat.Brain being the sharpest followed by speech (Diplomacy) followed by fists , knees , elbows, hands and legs.
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy sir!
Karate lies in the mind and heart. Not in the hands
Ive told mind coz if we can remain calm and take things in rational manner , refuse to get panicked .Chances of victory are favourable.Combat is highly unpredictible . No results can be guaranteed .Outcome of a combat is highly seductive and its like india -pak crcicket match, till the last ball is bowled .Nothing can be foretold.When outcome is unknown .Then there is 100 % chances you winning is there.In any game one has to win and another has to lose .Then why should you lose .Let the loss be the opponents and thats the attitude and mental make-up of a fighter.


When i mean by Diplomacy i mean ability to speak smoothly persuadingly .The ability to change tone and tenor according to the crisis is the real gift that can aslo be developed slowly.The ability to bend the mind of opponents psychlogically..Something that can be practised ...can be learnt from enormous reading, thinking and practise and few failures in built.

We can always request a person not to harm us.Using words like PLEASE liberally , Boasting the opponents ego or appealing to their vanitiesor simply befriending attacker can help us.But to do all these it requires sioe drop in our ego, oride , vanity.But what good is ego , when life is at risk.??

One can always negotiate or just throw money in small bills into air and run (Street Diplomacy is very well written in books like POWER /GODFATHER/JASON DIRECTIVE by Robert ludlum ).We can use religious sermons to subtle threats like My-Papa-is-Police-Commisoner or i am infected with highly infectious skin disease....etc ,but your tone and tenor should always coincide with body langauge to sound convincing..

The best option is always RUN .My master is super strong person knows every inch of combat yet when asked about the question of combat he calmly says Run !Violence breeds Violence .There is no shame ion running away .But when cornered , you can block and run way.....But when u have no option ....let there be no ethics and sentiments and no values .Just go for a kill.One has to be mega brutal.

We should always take up the initiative .From defending , we should become attacker.Prey should become Predator.Let your 1st shot be very powerful on the weakest points, like groin or eyes.Use your nails as claws or knees or elbows in damaging weak points beyond repair .You can always choke opponent or gouge eyes with ur nails.You can head-butt or spit into face .Rmeber till tyhe last moment , victory can swing into anyones favour regardless of facilities available..Keep your calm , remeber u have 2 hands and 2 legs and a head..When panicked we ferget all these parts .Even one hand is loose , it can be put to the deadliest effect.Scream shoud be blood curdling.It can strike fear into enemys hearts
"Men fear most what they cannot see"

One can always convert ordinary things into deadly weapons.A newspaper can be folded into a club.House keys can used to punch or gouge eyes.Knife or Screwdriver is as deadly as Knife.Mud can be thrown into eyes and zandu balm can be thrown on head.Anything, anything can be turned into a weapon.
PUSH-PULL-GOUGE-BITE-CLAW-PUNCH-KICK-SPIT-SCREAM-NEGOTIATE-RUN.....
Its not one style but combination of all that can be helpful.Never can be a combat be won with one single technique.Its the misture of all available resourcves and thats should be continoulsy imprivised depending on situation.Once you attack , attack like a brute .No consequneces , No sentiments.Just fight till the end and to the end.Dont run away from problems .Keeping looking for solutions

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard. Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely — lay your life before him.

Dhyan Chand-A Tribute


Tribute To Dhyan Chand-Wizard of Hockey

World Cup 2007 is just around the corner.Will India repeat 1983 ?Will David lift the coveted cup like Kapil devils did in 1983 prudential world cup? Will he ?Wont he ?....Typical hamletian dilemma .Bets are placed running to thousands of crores. Sacin Saurav last world cup ! Will they fire with their cylinders ?India-Pakistan match is real hot one that world looks forward. ......or a moment ferget everyone,,...ferget sachin , sania whose victories neevr met with world bests standards ...meet Dhyan Chand the greatest.

Major Dhyan Chand Singh (
1905-08-291979-12-03) was a former Indian hockey player and Olympian who is regarded as one of the greatest hockey players. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour. He got the title "Chand" or (moon) from his first coach, Pankaj Gupta, who had predicted that he would one day shine like a chand or moon.


Dhyan Chand who was called the Wizard of Hockey played as though ball was stuck to the stick! SO much so , Tokyo officials during one of his travels broke his hockey stick while looking fer somesticking device inside.

Indians were leading 1-0 at the half timein 1936 summer olympics at Berlin . In second half, they scored 7 goals. After trailing 0-6, the Germans getting scared of him are reported to have resorted to body play. In a clash with the German goalkeeper, Dhyan Chand broke one of his teeth,Returning after first aid, and after India were leading by eight goals - Dhyan Chand having scored six - he advised his players to a play possession game and teach the Germans a lesson in good, clean Hockey . India won the match 8-1, with Dhyan Chand scoring 6 goals.

A reporter said about Dhyan Chand's performance - "With a flick of the wrist, a quick glance of his eyes, a sharp turn and then another turn, and Dhyan Chand was through".

Impressed by his performance, Adolf Hitler supposedly offered to make Dhyan Chand a Field Marshal in the German army, but the latter refused


Dhyan chand one of the best players to date , has a statue of his in Vienna , built by a sports club there. The staute shows Dhyan Chand with 4 hands and 4 hockey statue . Quite a compliment



Aug 29 is observed as National Sports Day coz its Dhyan Chand s birthday.


In the world of designers shoes and shoes specially made specifically fer each sport .Dhyan Chand in Olympic games against Germany played bare foot and scored 7 goals to take the country to a massive win

Hockey is the only sport in india that has india an olympic gold .Not once but 8 times .



Chand however died penniless and uncared for in a hospital, receiving a meagre pension. Dhyan Chand was very sad to see India finish seventh at the
Montreal Olympics, 1976. The Indian team included his son, Ashok Kumar. When he was on his deathbed at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, he reportedly told a doctor that Indian hockey was dying. He then went into a coma and died in 1979.

A year after his death, the
Indian Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in his honour. In addition, Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi is named in his honor.
