World champion Mary Kom has given a clarion call to the women of India to take up boxing or any other form of martial arts to combat crime against women.

 

Good on her, that shit in Delhi was sick as fuck.

 

for real the worst part was it didnt change anything rape are still epidemic what the fuck is wrong in delhi

 

Awesome story and I wish nothing but the best for these women. Need to get them on an Ann Wolfe-esque training regiment so they could knock out any motherfucker on the street.

 

Not gonna work. Buy guns instead.

 

They should train ultimate fightin', all the ufc-tards say it works.

 

true according to some of the posts i was reading boxing is not useful for fighting becaause of the pillows and no takedowns, in teh streetz its all about the doubles. unfortunately i googled ultimate fighting gym new delhi and came up with no responses. how does india plan to defend its sovereignty in this world of guerrilla jiu jitsu black belts and alpha males

 

Its called mace. This is like point I'm making in the Frankie Edgar thread. If you rely on martial arts to defend yourself in a completely uncontrolled situation, you're going to get yourself fucked up

 

yeah i mean dude - boxing has been the means for unarmed self defense (you're not always going to have time to pull out mace/tazer/knife) on the street in America/Europe/everywhere outside of Asia for the last couple of hundred years.

psh.
