When a man loves a girl, he would want to go over mountains and seas for her. Some girls have discovered this and have positioned themselves to take full advantage of it. Sadly, most guys are not aware of this. It often takes another person to realize that the guy is being used. If you are in a relationship, here are seven ways of discovering this for yourself.

1. She does not take no for an answer:

If your girlfriend likes to have her way at all times, it is a sign that she is emotionally blackmailing you. She has studied you and come to realize that you love her. This is now her bargaining weapon. If you have an argument, she would do all she can for you to concede. If that fails, she will resort to tears because she knows it will break you.

2. She wants you to invest heavily in the relationship:

You may ask “What is wrong with it?” Nothing, if only she invests in the same measure. If you are the one always investing in a relationship and she rarely invests in the same manner, bro, she is just enjoying “dividends of a maga”. The simple fact is, if someone loves you, there will be the natural instinct to give all she can. While there is need for reciprocation, true love does not try to get first, instead, it gives.

3. She cancels plans with you repeatedly:

If she is fond of cancelling any plans that you both have made and does so with reckless abandon, watch it. No one who loves you will keep you hanging like that. “But she gives reasons why she couldn’t make it”, you say. Those reasons are excuses, and she gives you because you need something to comfort yourself with. The time and attention she is starving you of is what someone gets with ease.

4. She does not really care about you:

When a girl loves a guy, she wants to tell him everything that is happening with her and also wants to know what is happening with him. If your girlfriend does not show interest in knowing about what is going on with you that is a red flag. Rather than know about your progress with life, she occupies herself with telling you about her needs or family problems and needs, you really need to think twice.

5. You have a desire to gain her approval:

A woman’s desire is what her man should have and not try to earn. If you feel the need to get her to like anything you do or approve of who you are, then you should be careful. If your girlfriend discovers this desire in you, she is supposed to help you address it by telling you she approves of you unconditionally. If she does not but instead feeds that desire, you are not her lover but her worker who is trying hard to earn her approval.

6. She uses sex as a bargaining chip:

It is up to the two of you to decide whether to abstain or have sex. The problem here is if she uses sex as a tool for negotiation. She knows most men will make a decision based on what lies between their legs rather than what is in their head. If she deprives you of intimacy just to have her way, it is clear that she is trying to take advantage of you.

7. She makes you feel guilty:

Guilt is a powerful emotion that most people do not know how to cope with. Your girlfriend too may recognize this and try to use it for her own good. When she needs your presence, she will probably say something like, “I know you don’t miss me anymore, that’s why you don’t hand out with me” or when she needs something, “I know you don’t care about me and how I survive. Later you will say you love me”. If your girl makes statements along these lines, she is trying to get you defensive and then do her bidding. It’s simple reverse psychology!

If you discover you are in this category, it is best you break up with such a girl. Manipulation is a decision and not an accident. That girl is not your girlfriend but a manipulator.

Haganah the Israeli Self Defense Method:

Haganah is the Hebrew word for “defense”. What many people don’t realize is that Haganah includes many styles of Israeli martial arts the same way MMA, or mixed martial arts, incorporates so many styles of martial arts.

The combative methodology that makes up Haganah is built upon military tactics as well as Israeli martial arts. When you take this type of training, you will be getting tactics from Krav Maga, Hisardut, KAPAP and LOTAR.

“F.I.G.H.T.” this stands for Fierce Israeli Guerrilla Hand-to-hand vs. Knife, empty hand versus knife, empty hand versus gun and how to survive ground fighting. This really is meant to teach practitioners how to survive any type of attack by using only their bare hands. This is one reason why many students opt to take Haganah. It is the only type of martial arts training in the world that includes studying in all types of combative approaches.”

FIGHT uses a Rotation System:

Rotation Training is a modern methodology used to schedule training scenarios: so nothing is ever left out or to chance. To Train all gun for 4 months leaves unarmed attacks neglected. This is a problem easily solved with rotation training so nothing is ever left out.

When someone thinks of urban combat he or she thinks beyond the usual, normal fighting methods. To do this entails that any rules must be thrown out. Unfortunately most fighting systems revolve around and are defined by their rules: BJJ, K 1 and UFC.

It should be said that rules are nothing more than limitations of total liberty, total freedom. There are a few systems that claim they are free-JKD, Krav Maga, etc. However, on close inspection these arts contain too much learned fine motor coordination, highly trained tools and attributes to make them free. They cloud freedom with a layer of learned responses that are not usable under extreme stress.

To be an effective street fighting system it must posses the following:

1) Surprise movements: Remember this isn’t about go home and learn from the experience and try to beat the moves in a sport setting. If they can’t handle the first meeting with the surprise, they die.

2) Use already learned neural patterns in place of fine coordination: Fear will remove the ability to do calculus and those intricate fighting moves. It must be based on far more engrained gross motor movements.

3) Be useful in a variety of environments: What only works on the beach is useless in knee deep snow.

4) Must take account that different body types must be capable of using the fighting system: Many arts are based for highly athletic, great flexibility, and very in shape people. The reality is that this is not the state of the majority of people who need to be able to survive a street/urban attack.

5) Must come from an applied learning background: It is of little use of only one out of two million people can learn it and make it work for real. It must be a fighting system that can work for a multitude of people. It must be remembered that teaching is a science that few know.

With these five points you can objectively analyse any system of street fighting. Most systems will be found to be nothing more than a sport system or a rule limited art. These will not help you survive when there are no rules.

If you wish to know more about the world’s strongest self defense please refer to the author’s materials.

Martial arts have grown more and more over the years. It’s not only a great way to get fit but it also adds a more of a personal growth element to the practitioner. This list looks at five of the best martial arts for self defense.

5. Kick-boxing (muay thai)

Muay Thai, which roughly translates to “art of the eight limbs”.

Muay thai is from Thailand and is a martial art that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques.

The word muay derives from the Sanskrit mavya and Thai comes from the word Tai. Muay Thai is referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” because of the use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight “points of contact”.

A practitioner of Muay Thai is known as a nak muay. Western practitioners are sometimes called nak muay farang meaning foreign boxer.

4. Wing Chung

Wing Chun also romanized as Ving Tsun or “Wing Tsun” is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilizing both striking and grappling while specializing in close-range combat.

Wing Chun was made famous by Yip Man. He taught such legends as “Bruce Lee”.

Wing Chun is a perfect art for people who aren’t looking to use brute force. The system relies on biomechanics, not brute force and is recommended for women to learn.

3. Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do is a hybrid martial arts system which is a mix of Wing Chun, Boxing, and Fencing, founded and developed by the legendary martial artist Bruce Lee.

JKD teaches that the best defense is a strong offense. For a person to attack another the attacker must approach the target. This provides an opportunity for the attacked person to “intercept” the attacking movement.

Bruce didn’t believe in methods but in styles. He believed that one should use what one found useful in any martial arts and make his own style. Anything that was not found useful should be discarded.

2. Keysi fighting

Keysi Fighting Method is a method of self defense that is based on natural fighting instincts and several street fighting techniques, developed by Justo Diéguez Serrano with the help of Andy Norman.

The Keysi Fighting Method became famous after it was used in the fighting choreography of the movies Batman Begins.

Keysi fighting makes uses of multiple attacking ranges, with or without weapons.

Unlike many other martial arts, Keysi tends to get into extreme close quarters when in combat. It also relies on understanding how people typically move or attack in a fight so that when striking, the opponent’s body moves to expose further targets.

The Keysi Method teaches one to being able to defend themselves against any number of attackers!

1. Krav Maga

Krav Maga meaning “contact combat” is an eclectic hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel that involves striking techniques, wrestling and grappling, mostly known for its extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks, and used regularly with special forces in Israel.

Krav Maga has a philosophy emphasizing threat neutralization, simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers, and aggression.

It’s said that Krav Maga is the most effective martial arts for self defense and threat neutralization purposes.

It incorporates Western boxing punches, Karate kicks and knees, Greco-Roman wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu ground fighting, Jiu-jitsu throws and grappling.

Also stressed are attacks to vulnerable body parts: the eyes, throat, and groin. Since most situations are a matter of life-or-death.

One can learn Krav Maga in only 3 to 6 months which is highly appealing to many interested in learning Self Defense.

Krav Maga was discovered by Imi Lichtenfeld when he has working at IDF Learning School in Israel. Imi went through a rough childhood wherein he had to excel in different sports like wrestling, weightlifting, gymnastics, swimming, and boxing. He spent most of his life in Bratislava along with his father but because of organizing a group of people to go against the Nazi government he was forced to live his homeland and sail to Israel in order to escape from the strong clutches of the Nazis.

When he left, he carried with him the memories of oppression and tyranny that was inflicted to his people. He was able to witness civilians that are maltreated just because they don’t have the capacity to defend themselves or in simple thought they are just defenseless. In view of this, he thought of devising new martial arts that will specifically apply to average men and women of Israel. He wanted to create something that can be used by ordinary people to defend themselves in cases of emergency. Krav Maga was already thought in IDF School as part of physical fitness and swimming lessons they are also teaching.

Imi worked in this institution for twenty decades and within this time he crafted a new Krav Maga that can be easily remembered and executed. He sees to it that ordinary people will be able to learn its means and ways even if they don’t have the slightest idea about martial arts.

The fighting principles involving Krav Maga can be categorized into three. In the first level, you need to learn how to counter attack any throws or blows coming from your opponent. Blocking techniques are very essential part of any form of martial arts since it is the means of protecting yourself from any injury or harm that may befall on you. If you have good defensive skills then there is a better chance that you are going to win the match.

The second level will be to learn the different attacking stances or mastering your offensive skills. There are different attacks that you can do depending on your position or posture, location, and opponent. In every attack or blows, you must target the weakest and most vulnerable part of your opponent such as the head, knee, and groin.

The third and final level will be a combination of both your offensive and defensive skills in order to finally bring down your opponent. With the right technique you have a good chance of defeating and immobilizing your enemy.

Imi stressed out that Krav Maga does not intend to take away lives, that is why you should not kill your opponent unless severely necessary.

A weak point, also known as a pressure point, is a part of the human body which is impossible to develop, harden, or strengthen. Attacking your attacker’s weak points gives even the weakest or most unskilled fighter an advantage over any attacker. Remember: it’s you that’s getting jumped. There is no room for any “moral fighting code” here. Your goal is to get out of the situation alive. This will be achieved by inflicting the maximum damage to your attacker in minimum time.

Eyesattacks to the eyes can be made only with a small surface mostly with the fingers. You can hit the eyes from all sides even lying down. The advantage of this weak point is that the attacker has no ability of coping with an attack to their eyes. A hit in the eyes will neutralize the attacker, and give you time to improve your position.

Nose-the nose is positioned in the center of the face and is easy to get to.  Hit the nose with a strike that has a big surface for example: head-butt, punch, elbow and knee.A strike to the nose will cause the attacker eyes to water and their nose to bleed. A strong and precise strike could break your attacker’s nose and will make it very difficult for him to continue his attack.

Chin-in every boxing match you will see both opponents always aim at each others chins. This is because a solid strike to the chin can cause the attacker to fall down, lose his balance or pass out. You can hit the chin with punches from all angles.

Throat-this is one of the more lethal weak points in the human body. A strong strike to the throat can cause a person to choke and die. A strike to the throat will be done by a punch or an open hand hit. You can also damage the throat by using pressure (choke). A  solid strike to the throat is lethal to the enemy and there is no chance for him to recover after one.

Testicles- most of us know the feeling of a light hit to the testicles, and can only imagine what a full strong hit will do to the attacker. The best kinds of attacks to strike the testicles are knees,  kicks, and open palm strikes in close ranges. A hit to the attacker’s testicles will cause him to bend over and give us time to continue with our attacks or escape.

Knees-the lowest weak point in the human body. a strike to the knees will be done by a kick from all angles. your goal is to break the attacker knee. In a case where you do break their knee the attacker has no longer a chance to hurt you. No attacker or fighter in the world can continue to fight with a broken knee.

Templesthis is the thin part of the skull. A strike to the temple will be made with a hook , elbow or other strikes that come from the sides. A strike to the temple will cause the attacker to lose his balance, fall or pass out. A strong solid strike to the temple can lead to death.

Earsan ear is a delicate organ which you can hit or tear. An attack to the ear will be made mostly in close ranges. A hit in that direction is an excellent way to free yourself from all sorts of holds and grabs.

Back of the neckthis is the connecting part between our spinal column and our skull. A very sensitive area and at times lethal. A strong strike to the back of the neck can cause paralysis and  death.

Spinal columnYou can strike the spinal column if you are positioned behind the attacker. You can use a kick, strong punch or even an elbow. A strong hit to the spinal column will paralyze the attacker.    

Rest of the body: In Krav Maga we don’t consider any other parts of the body as a weak point. The rest of the body is very strong with a lot of muscles and bones which protect the internal organs. In a life or death situation You would prefer to hit a part which will cause immediate paralysis to the attacker. The non weak point parts of the body can be worked on and strengthened, and it may be very difficult to overcome your attacker with a hit to a non weak point.

No other martial arts form comes close to the simplicity, power and effectiveness of Krav Maga. It is designed to give one the skills and techniques to supremely defeat an enemy with quick and lethal responses to attacks. The recent years has gained Krav Maga a good following because it is easy to learn, and the combat tactics involved are guaranteed to ward off unwanted and threatening individuals.

Before getting yourself into a KravMaga training, understand the following about this full-fledged form of self-defense:

1. Attack the weaker points of your enemy’s body. Given that your life is threatened and you can still defend yourself and fight back, your best opportunity is battering the vulnerable areas of your attacker. Krav Maga videos illustrate how you can attack a helpless body portion, and foresee with chances when these areas could be hit with your counter strike. Instead of the usual multiple undirected punches, you could learn the rabid, vicious techniques of returned attacks on the weaker points of the body that could debilitate your enemy to surrender;
2. Defend and attack back. In a life threatening situation, once you’ve temporarily overwhelmed your attacker, Krav Maga teaches you to attack back. In line with the principle that the best way to break out from a fight is to end it quickly, Krav Maga teaches multiple blocks and attacks. More importantly, this martial art form teaches how to block and attack at the same time to immediately end the fight. When a knife or dagger is up your face, Krav Maga teaches a series of techniques to avoid getting hurt, and putting your attacker down and snoring;
3. Three hundred percent defense. Krav Maga is mostly all about blocking methods and evading tactics during attacks. You will be trained to employ three simultaneous moves, which, upon complete execution, will render your attacker hoping someone will dial 911 – quick! The first move would be blocking using hand or foot defense, or maybe plucking to break a choke or headlock. Next would be the body defense wherein you turn or move your body to distance it from your attacker. The third principle is “moving away from the attack area” which means you go around your opponent to disadvantage his position and direction. Deflecting the first attack and then moving quickly to your assailant’s inconvenient point would neutralize him. At this point, you can then regroup your counter moves to end the fight, with your attacker waving the white flag;
4. Situational awareness and looking ahead. Being attacked in real life is nothing compared to those movie scenes you’ve seen. Wherein in the silver screen you see two characters slugging it out, exchanging high flying kicks and making zombies out of each other’s faces, in real life and with Krav, you cut the scene immediately, render your enemy incapacitated, and as for you, come out of the fight unscathed and victorious. As anyone can be attacked at any time and place, Krav Maga integrates in its teachings how you could heighten your awareness of events and persons, and develops your keenness for noticing trouble right from the start. In all Krav Maga videos, illustrations of how you can move away from the line of attack, and knowing the blind spot of your enemies and yours are included and explained well. Also, methods of escape and possible objects to aid you in the struggle are also pointed out in Krav Maga.

Where success of other martial arts form are only found in movies and tournaments for belts and recognitions, the success of Krav Maga can be achieved in certain victories in any attack you may fall into.

Gian Spencer is a cop, an Italian decent he is serious about his career and public service, but a really funny guy. Tall, not heavy-looking, though. Always puts humor to everything around him. When not in a police officer’s uniform, he could pass for a janitor. When dressed up for Sunday mass, he looks like a Wall Street dude. That’s Gian Spencer, a cop and a KravMaga artist.

With the name, there is a person who has everyone’s fear of being attacked in dark alleys. With such a profession, there’s a person who knows how to keep peace and order. With Krav Maga, there’s a beast that shows no mercy for assailants and any other individual exhibiting sinister plans on him or any person within his sight. That’s Gian Spencer, a cop and a KravMaga artist.

He is just like most of us. What makes him stand out is his confidence that he can protect himself, his family and his closest circle in unforeseen attacks of criminals, with or without weapons. Gian Spencer is an embodiment of a normal person, and the warrior we all want to be when threatened.

Enough of Gian and let’s talk Krav Maga. Meaning “contact combat”, it is the official hand to hand fighting system of Israel, employed for decades by the Israeli Defense Forces. Designed as a simple and efficient art of self-defense, “Krav” is an effective and brutal technique used against unprovoked attacks; the former you can learn and be skilled at, the latter you can get anywhere as criminals lurk in no particular territories. Those tactics the usual martial arts prohibit, Krav Maga allows. From those nasty groin kicks to the even nastier eye gouges, from the deadly elbows to the throat to the vicious wringing of the neck – Krav Maga teaches it, and enthusiasts practice it. If this sounds vicious, it is. If you think it has the element of street-fighting, well, hell, yeah!

So are there any rules in Krav Maga? Yes, there is. And there’s only one. “Don’t get hurt.” This is the strong statement of Josef Belsari, owner and trainer of Belsari Brothers Martial Arts Academy. “When your only concern is surviving an attack, why should you consider just pinching your attacker in the nose?” By the way, Josef is only five foot and five inches, wears glasses and works at the local library. His two older brothers tease his soft-spoken ways, and his two sisters are always amused at his collection and constant humming of Bon Jovi songs. Nothing about Josef speaks he’s a Krav Maga artist until he is provoked or when people close to him are in danger.

With Krav Maga, you don’t get those dance-like movements in thwarting your enemies, and you don’t get those “was on, wax off” tactics to defeat criminals. Josef Belsari and Gian Spencer are a strong testament that protecting yourself is not about those moves and kicks and lots of dialogues you see in martial arts movies. Both would immediately follow this statement with saying that most martial arts forms are sports-oriented and patterned to win competitions and tournaments only. With KM, what makes you a winner is that you truly defeat any attacker, whether they are pointing a knife to your face, or showing off biceps with a size and pulse of a rhinoceros gearing for an attack.

While other martial arts earns you a skill level belt or any other forms of recognition; your only acknowledgments would be being able to debilitate an attacker, or in most times, being able to move freely and with confidence that you can handle any assailant. Krav Maga trainings are informal and eclectic, liberating for many beginners as one goes though conditional drills and calisthenics, routine combat practices and then the different techniques fit to different dangers posed by any attack.

Your instincts and fitness is your best weapon in Krav Maga. When into a fight, just a few Krav moves and your enemy is down and begging for mercy. No more of those punch rally or exchange of kicks, just an instant retaliation from your body and you’re done. The moves used in Krav are simple but renders your enemy helpless. Ugly? Yes.

You might wonder why this combat form is taking form and why KM videos are always sold out. It’s because the truth is out about all other martial arts varieties. They work well in the movies, but they are never functional in a street attack. As military and law enforcement folks have used Krav Maga in their operations, it does not mean only people in uniform can protect themselves and their loved ones from attacks. You should be able to as well.

Introduction:

I have been acquainted with the Reader’s Digest Magazine, Asian Edition ever since my teens through my benevolent Dad. Dad bought those editions once in a while and after he was done with them, I took the liberty to read them. “Points to Ponder” and “Drama in Real Life” were eye openers for me. I realized the worth of my life during dark hours and re-read them to feel motivated and joyous again.

About the Magazine:

Reader’s Digest, the Asian Edition is a widely read magazine. And especially it has now more lively categories than before such as, “Kindness to Strangers”, “Smart Animals”, “Technology” and “Books & Movies”. Like before, the Cover Story, Drama in Real Life, Self-Help and Health Categories are very helpful, enticing and rewarding for all of us. The parts “Laughter, the Best Medicine”, “Life’s Like That” and “All in a Day’s Work” are equally fun, humorous and attractive. What more, we can contribute anecdotes, jokes and stories based on our lives in different categories and if the editors like to publish them in the magazine, then we have the opportunity to get paid ranging from $50 to $250 depending upon the category. I myself might like to contribute my own story to this wonderful magazine someday and I would certainly be over the moon if it were selected for publishing.

About the Editors:

The editors of this renowned magazine, along with their teams, do work hard in Singapore Headquarters to make it content-rich quality-wise and strive to be accurate as well with respect to the information, formatting, sentence structures and others. Thumbs up to them!! I really appreciate their work and their choice of selections which are definitely praiseworthy. Although I have been hooked on to self-help books and programs for quite a while, I have turned my attention back to the good old magazine as well and I find that there are more varieties here, more fun, and much to learn.

Reviewer’s Recommendation:

I would recommend Asian Readers to have copies of the Reader’s Digest from time to time and go through them meticulously. You will not only gain lightheartedness but also grab interesting principles of life. About American and European readers and others, Reader’s Digest magazines are likely to be available in your local book stores but I cannot recommend what they would be like because I have not gone through the editions of these regions. Most probably they rock like the Asian editions. So it’s worth giving a shot; purchase a month’s copy and see for yourself how you like it. Chances are they will become your pet magazine!!
