I have a large psychotic stalker. Completely deranged and delusional (persecuted, paranoid, wrath of god type stuff) for whatever reason he has fixated on me. He assualted me recently but I managed to hold my own in the shoving match. Many witnessess, one of whom was also assaulted, called the cops who came and took him away to jail for a few days. Anyway he may already be out or will be shortly and knows where I live.

I need some good self defence strategies - I'm a wiry 6'2 with a good reach, and reasonable strength but I'm no heavyweight.. this guy is a bodybuilder with delusions about having superhuman powers, I CANNOT get into any kind of grappling with this guy.. If it happens, I need to take him out hard and fast.. the law is on my side on this, but obviously can't protect me 24-7.

guns aren't an option, and I don't want to start anything - just need some good advice on how to stay safe and take this guy out if I have to protect myself or my family.

not a joke. I'm stressed

After that embarrasing fight with Tito Ortiz should Ken just hang up his gloves and retire to the hall of fame without facing further embarassment? or should he have yet another re-match with Ortiz like Tito said he is welcome to?

Practicing to beat people up is not good. Plus, no black belt can beat a trigger finger. Profile of serial killers include martial arts training.

I do two classes a week at a local martial arts centre in order to help with my self confidence, the instructors are patient and professional however I do not have the confidence to ask what I can do at home in order to help me become a better kickboxer. What do you suggest?

I am looking for the same of several different martial arts that teach a specific swordfighting style. I know most if not all martial arts have some limited swordfighting, so im talking about swordfighting specific arts.

Please do not answer kendo, No offense to kendo practitioners but kendo was invented when swords were no longer allowed in japan so i challenge its effectiveness.

After the Shamrock/Ortiz fight I really have to wonder if UFC doesn't have more in common with professional wrestling than I previously thought. I think Dana White is setting up for Tito Ortiz to face the winner between Chuck Lidell vs Wanderlai Silva. It seems fishy that he just happened to choose Shamrock and Ortiz for the Ultimate fighter coaches and then has a grudge match between them that was stopped too soon. Shamrock is done, and Dana wanted to use him to give Tito a push after Tito was reduced to all but a mockery after getting slaughtered by Coture and Lidell. Dana knows Tito vs Lidell or Silva will be a big draw, and Tito has lost to both of them so he has the revenge factor.

So what do you think is UFC downright rigged or are they more concerned with hot shot booking than competition?
