Ah fantastic - a new section dedicated to this topic. I don't know about anyone else, but as a martial artist - I often find this useful in field. Now obviously having a black belt or whatever should certainly not be used as an opener. BUT it is a huge DHV, and a chance for kino escalation. There are so many routines one can come up with involving this but its important to keep it in the play fight, light-hearted tone. Here is a classic that I often find myself using in field (or variations on this kind of theme). Usually somewhere between attraction and comfort.

her: some playful tease
me: *serious look, twin forearm guard ie...something 'ninja looking' * "that's it...I'm challenging you!"
her: amused/giggle/accept challenge
me: ok lets see how you throw a punch *raise your hand*
her: crappy girly punch
me: light neg - no, the secret to throwing a punch is *at this point get behind her and guide her arms appropriately, going further one could also position her hips correctly as well.

This is a very vague description of what I have tried many times before, usually with great success, but the attraction has to be there before you begin manhandling her! There is also showing her wrist locks and so on, the point is to escalate kino and show her something cool, while dhving...does anyone else use anything similar?

ooo a new section..and its an awsome idea !!
but wanna know my favourite part... haha

I train Thai, BJJ, and Wrestling but I'm not sure I can work it into pu. I always sound to cocky and busy when I talk about it. I hate sounding cocky so I kinda dlv myself. Martial Arts teaches you to be humble. I never brag if I got the best of someone, and I never act as if I'm better than anyone. I'm use to building the other guys up with things they did right and where they need to improve. This might be why my pu game suffers.

I need to find hbs that like to do naked jiu jitsu. lol

Lol, I laughed at 'crappy girl punch' too! So true so true.

I think this is a good idea. I would never come out and say, oh i practice muay thai, bla bla, but having knowledge of self-defense moves, etc, is good to know anyways regardless of who you are. good DHV. Nice escalation.

I would suggest saying something like, "Damn girl, everyone should know the basics!" Just so it comes across natural and not routined.
HB: Do you know the basics? Teach me.

Disqualify yourself as an expert, and refuse playfully. Then say ok, just one move! Then your expertise will become obvious, always stay humble and downplay your badassness, just like master splinter!

Inciddently on a day 2, I taught one of my GF's how to groundfight and wrestle.

Use everything in your life to your advantage. If a girl is attracted, SHE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR LIFE.

Use that to your advantage.

That's slick, I'll use this next time. Good for kino, dhv and survival value in the basest sense.

I actually wanted to start training kickboxing for quite a while now for self-defense.. Now i found out that my college kickboxing program is before my basketball training so i can make time for it.. probably gonna join in a week or two ! great tip though thanks

Hehe, you beat me to the idea Scorn!
I do mixed martial arts and senshido (RBSD), and the possibilities are endless!
1- You make her feel secure. I've heard alot of the "wow, so it's safer to be around you?" to which i'd reply "pretty safe, unless someone pulls out a machinegun" (cocky, yet not conceited)

2-Kino ideas: I once started showing a girl how to make a proper fist, and moved up till i was pretending to bearhug her. Can anyone say: playful kiss?

3- You build up one hell of a lot of confidence. Just knowing you can handle yourself well on a mat and in the street boosts you like you wouldnt believe. Hey, when you can disarm a 300 pound mugger with a knife, what's the worst a HB can do to you?

4- practice well, and you'll get in good shape. Nothing builds a body like martial arts (no, not even bodybuilding guys, though MA do take longer for visible results)

So go out there people, and hit the mats!

I've been thinking about this too... Glad to see other folk on the same wavelength!

A lot of people tend to be quite surprised when I say karate, and do that stereotypical 'hi-ya' pseudo knife hand "block". Everyone usually laughs, but it's a great opportunity for kino - i always say something along the lines of 'thats the idea! but really it should be like this..." and reposition her hands, etc.. It's a 'legit' reason for kino escalation.

I love telling girls to teach me something (along the lines of 'what else have you got going for yourself?'), and having something to teach them that happens to involve almost any level of kino you want (obviously you don't want a bear hug attack as an opener!) is very handy..



PS. "So go out there people, and hit the mats!" Couldnt agree more.

Lol Chapter, i wouldnt advise you to start with that one, i think it's considered attempted rape in most places!

Bringing in your martial arts skills to you pick up skills sounds like a good idea, I like what eliec said Make the woman feel secure, thats smart. I myself do regular kickboxing and also Tai Chi, which kinda like slow mo kung fu. When I bring a girl home I sometimes try to teach her a little tai chi, its a great escalation because you get to teach her and impress her, and you can start to go kino, touch her a lot when you're "correcting her positions" have fun with it!

10 things I wish someone taught me about Pick Up 10-things-i-wish-someone-taught-me-vt53087.html

heya. done various martial arts for about 12ish years now. talk about specifics later.

i agree that it helps though.
-Fitness.
-Confidence, not cockiness (ive put down people who act like hard-ass's n brag about it, its a disgrace to the arts imo)
- imo chicks love a guy who knows how to defend himself and loved ones. total macho look
- very useful life skill! ive taught it to my younger brothers, mates, gf's etc

its a good feeling, knowing that should anything go wrong, you have at least some preparation. whenever martial arts get brought up in a conversation, or my mates mention it to others that ive done it, i just play it off as something little. you look much "harder" if you pass it off as not a bigdeal. plus people arent keen to start on sum1 who they dont know how good a fighter he his.

Hello everyone! i just joined and new at this, but perhaps this can be interesting to others!

Awesome thread by the way! ... One technique that is great to use as well:

into the subject of martial arts, defending ones self against the bad guys trying to get to you out there haha.... ask her to grab your hand like if she would try to force you into something. normally they grab slightly, neg her a little, once she uses strength, reward her verbally! (while this is happening, you can always adjust her, it will create physical contact)

the technique is a self defense technique, you twist your hand in a clockwise maneuver starting from 6 to 12, this will disarm her, and with a sharp and clean snap, grab her wrist and bring her closer to you, now you have the control and you are in a dominant position, don't bump into her or lose balance, do it like a pro!... at that moment, you should be within 3" of her face, keep a strong and firm body as she will probably be holding you due to the fast momentum, look at her in the eye and come up with whatever you want, at that proximity with the little rush of adrenaline you just pumped into her she is probably just wandering in your eyes... close in for a kiss (i usually see their eyes staring at my lips, or going up and down from my eyes to my lips, i find that is a IOI), if you aren't going for the kiss, your left hand should be at a very good level for a grab! and move on with your game, at least you'll be a step closer

personally.... i find it works well girls are always interested in a guy who does martial arts! but don't always get into the new MMA stuff, girls don't necessarily enjoy picturing 2 guys in a ring fighting in blood - the spiritual and zen side of martial arts is much more pleasant...

You can talk about mind / body control, which will open a variety of things to talk about... I've already brought up how mind/body control can even help you control sexual acts and enhance it! winking at her, she'll love it, all the things going through her mind!...
