My first experience was in a
real street brawl using fudo-shin- ju-jitsu. It happened a night (
(he is very famous for running and grabbing you
by th legs). He rushed to grab, i jumped in the air and came down with an elbow
strike into the back of his neck, dropped in a zen and
rolled to his right hand side. I stood up and he was still in a daze, so i went
back in with a front jump kick, i hit him in the chest and he was leaning
forward. I leaped into a cat stands and went behind him, i then stuck my
fingers of my right hand into his nostril and pulled him backward using my left
hand as a brace behind his neck. At that moment i asked him ' you want us to
play this for real or not' and at this point he signaled me that he surrender.
I let him go with the hope of the worse but he was honorable enough. He then
said 'from today, respect for the man, but i will name you the coolie bully'
(coolie refers to the indian race). This event can be
confirmed by anyone in
My second incident
i was walking along ave. Of the republic heading towars water street and just in front of the bank of
My attackers were arrested and taken away. The guy claiming to be the police
was really the chief security officer for the bank of
Third incident.
During my visit to
Rockey Narine
On one
particular Christmas time I was deployed on a special 'Shop Squad' targetting
hieves in the city (
As soon
as the man had hit me, I had quite a violent struggle with him during which
time I managed to press my personal radio button to
shout for assistance from other Police Officers. What I didn't know at the time
was hat as soon as the store manager saw the struggle he immediately locked the
doors which actually prevented other Police officers coming to my assistance.
Ater I had restrained him the manager opened the doors, so that other officers
could come to my assistance.
Once I
had restrained the man and taken him back to the Police Station I found that he
was in possession of lots of stolen Bank Cards which he been using to obtain
goods. I put him in a cell, each of which has a 9inch x 9inch security hatch on
the door which can be opened. At this point I went off duty and handed the case
over to another Police Officer who was taking over my duty.
I later
discovered that the man had told the Officers in charge of the Prison Cells,
that he couldn't breath and asked if the hatch could
be left open, which they did for him. When officers weren't looking he managed
to squeeze through the 9 inch x 9 inch opening, climb up over a security wall
and barbed wire, plus climb a pipe that had a special 'anti-climb' surface, and
escaped to freedom.
A
Sergeant who was just going off duty recognised him in the street and had to
restrain him again and take him back to the cells. This guy was desperate to
avoid prison, but eventually he confessed and I believe he received a 6 month
prison sentence.
On
another evening a series of fights broke out along the night club area of the
city centre, I saw one victim unconcious on the floor and had to shield him
from a group who had kicked him to the ground.
I had
lots of experiences of this nature, but sadly this was and is common for Police
Officers to deal with. Several of my colleagues were killed on duty.

The mustering
point for a 10-mile run in
These days I have to
assume that anyone threatening me with a weapon intends to use it. I pivoted on
my right foot, hooking my right arm under his (his gun hand), and capturing his
right wrist immobile in my bent elbow. In this position I was 3/4 behind him
and I brought my left arm across his neck, forcing him down
and stretching him over my right knee.* I kicked out his sole remaining
supporting leg and "helped" the back of his head make contact with
the porcelain lip of the urinal, cutting open his scalp and leaving him
unconscious. I then kicked his gun underneath him, found a policeman near the
restroom and told him that there was a drunk sleeping in the men's room. I
warned the cop to be careful because I believed the drunk was in possession of
a firearm.
At the curb, a few
blocks later, I "lost my lunch"... but I didn't lose my life.
* This is the
"left hand down-block; right hand kamae" position found in Pinan
Godan kata and most versions of Passai Dai kata

I am soke David Dantonio of the Bufukan Ninpo Bujutsu Dojo. I am by profession a retail loss preventionnmanager/consultant. While working on a drug store chain lp rehabilitation job i observed a man placing tylonol into his coat. He was clearing out the whole shelf. I approached him and took him into custody. This particualr company had a policy against handcuffs so i placed him into an arm lock and secured him in the front office....but just as I went to pick up the phone to dial the police he launched his attack. I countered his punch with a parry and an irimi nage.
He got up and ran to the rear of the store and i followed him...as he ran he
was throwing things from the shelves at me....I finnaly secured him and he went
for his pocket....I kicked his groin three times with shin kicks that raised
him from the ground...he responded with a "dont hit me there".
I pushed him away and told him to go and he said he wanted to kill me...we
again went for his pocket so a slammed his carotoid artery and then grabbed his
throat...all to no avail....mind you i him him about 6 times
...
The police finally arrived and it took all three of us to down him and as we
did he tried to bite me...so i had to placed my knee
on his mandable andlock hin elbow and wrist.
At court i found out he was on pcp and when i saw him
he was in a wheel chair from the groin kicks.
It goes to show one that we cant be overly confidant
nor cocky when we enter battle.

Whilst I was serving as a Police Officer I received a radio call to go
to the aid of another Officer who was trying to detain a violent person. I went
to his aid and I saw a very young man, who was of small build and quite skinny
fighting with the other, Police Officer. The man was running over the tops of
vehicles and was proving difficult to restrain.
The young man concerned appeared very violent and crazy, so I assisted
and tried to detain the man with the other officer. To my surprise he proved
exceptionally strong and I later discovered that he was high on drugs. It
seemed that everything that we tried to restrain him did not work and even more
Police Officers were called to assist. Although I was already a high ranking
Black Belt this young man was impervious to pain and seemed to have
supernatural strength. In the end it took about 8 Police Officers, including
myself to restrain him.
I believe that in a society where drug abuse is becoming more common,
Martial Arts self-defence techniques must adapt to recognise and equip people
with more appropriate skills. This is why I am going on a pressure point
knockout course to gain information about how to subdue people who may be
violent or unwilling to co-operate. It is essential.

Many years ago, while teaching in one of my
Kyokushinkai Karate Academies, a former young Brown Belt student who was
dissatisfied with the grade given him by the Examination Board, entered the
Academy and challenged me in the presence of my other students, Beginner to
Black Belt Assistant Instructors.
Of course, the Black Belt Assistant Instructors were
totally upset and each of them wanted to physically discipline him. I told them
that it was not their fight because it was my duty to be the disciplinarian,
having set the example.
Whilst employing evasive action in defence against the
apparently possessed young man who tried his best to kill me if he could have,
I found it necessary to stop him after the second minute with an Iron Palm
Technique in the region of his chest.
Unfortunately, because of his high agitation, the impact caused him to collapse and he was clinically dead for a little while. It was necessary to revive him. When he regained consciousness, he begged forgiveness and was given. We embraced each other and the warmth of the former Teacher-Student/Father-Son feeling engulfed us.
We are now both better men after this experience.
When the Chinese Martial Arts films had invaded
My message here, is that Instructors should not only
know about the Human Anatomy and Physiology and Basic First Aid but also about
reviving students knocked into unconsciousness by studying the Acupoints
relative to revival as part of rapid recovery;

I have had a former Brown Belt student whom had decided to rush the
development of his Ki power by reading a variety of literature, most of which
hinged on the occult. Of course, he went into experimentation.
This interference with the unknown opened his Spiritual channel to
invasion by demonic forces. He became violent and destructive. He had
threatened to kill his parents, burn their house to the ground and then kill
himself.
I was informed about this development only one year after by his father
whom had tried everything else to cure his son.
To relieve this saddened young man, it was necessary for me to Fast and Pray for three days. Yes, I am also a Born Again Christian.
I hasten to add that if it was not for my Martial Arts foundation, I
would not have been able to ward off and disarm this poor young man whom had
attacked me with a pair of
After exorcising him in the Name Of Jesus, he returned to normalcy three
days after.
My personal belief is that Jesus Christ is the Greatest Martial Artist
to ever walk this earth.
ALSO, No Instructor should rush to teach the development of the Ki or
Chi as each individual evolves at his/her own pace. The Instructor should be
there to protect and guide his/her student along this path if it should be
recognized. Have frequent discussions with the student about his/her personal
experiences before and after each training session so that necessary assistance
could be given.
Ki or Chi energy could be either destructive or helpful for better
health. Let us concentrate on better health.

Over a decade ago, I was walking alone one night just
after
The only reaction at that time was to direct a kick
into his spleen area. He drifted back and rushed in again to the same kick at
the same spot. Only when he began to collapse did the others release me and
hurried away with him and my belongings.
I reported to the
The following day, the nurse called me at my office to
inform that the said person was admitted within an hour after I had left the
Hospital, crying out for abdominal pains and could not have urinated. The Doctor
inserted a tube to facilitate urination and the bandit began to continuously urinate blood instead of urine.
He died on the second day and the Post Mortem
disclosed that his spleen was ruptured as it gushed out after an incision was
made. There were no marks of violence on the abdomen of the deceased.
Now, this death is not something of which I am proud.
However, it was not my time to die and God gave me the strength to survive that
vicious attack by five bandits.
The technique used is one I call the Vacuum Technique.
The return of the kicking attack to a bent knee position,
is trice the speed with which it was executed. Energy continues to flow between
point of impact and point of return.
Much care has to be taken not abuse such. This may be
similar to what the Chinese call the Delayed Death Touch.

The train I was traveling on was stopped at a small unattended suburban
station when I was witness to a bag snatch robbery. The victim departed the
train to pursue the criminal and I followed after both.
The victim stayed on the platform but I gave chase across the rail yards
which turned out to be a messy job because of a water
ditch that neither the perp nor I noticed until we were both in it. He crawled
out first and jumped a fence into a residential back yard. Then a strange thing
happened, I heard him in a quiet but insistent voice tell me to hurry up and
get over to him. It seems he thought I was an accomplice.
So in my best Rambo, I rose from the murky waters and said I dont think
that I am who you think I am. This was all the time it took for him to grab a
half brick he found lying at the side of the house and to aim it at me. So Im
on one side of the fence and he is crudely armed and on the other side of the
fence with the lady’s handbag. I wasn’t there to wear a brick, which is what
would have happened if I had attempted to climb the fence, but I also wasnt
going to walk away empty handed. So I used two of the modern martial artist’s
greatest tools my vocal cords and my brain.
I pointed out how I understood he was in need of cash, but how unfair it
was of him to target another underprivileged person, especially one who was
just a visitor to our state and in dire need of the bag as she was so far from
home. I gave one hell of a sob story and it worked. He handed over the bag and
vacated the scene. I gave the bag back to the owner and it turned out that she
actually was an interstate visitor.
Anyway, my contribution is this: No one technique works all of the time,
which is why we seek variety in knowledge. Talking won’t work all of the time,
but aside from walking away, talking to avoid violence should be the most often
attempted combat technique.
