A dyer is someone who imbues fabrics with a variety of colors. I fail to see how martial arts (or the lack thereof) would be of any use in this line of work. Perhaps if the dyer had gone mad and attacked you, but otherwise, no.

I think you mean "dire," or desperate.

Martial arts could help in such a situation, but you already knew that. I don't think that's what you're asking either.

I think you want to know if simply making up block and kicks constitutes martial arts. Yes. By definition, a martial art is the art of combat (empty-handed, wielding a weapon, or even using firearms).

Eastern martial arts refers specifically to various styles of fighting that were developed in southern and eastern Asia and in Japan. Though the moves and blocks associated with Eastern marital arts may seem random, there is an underlying pattern and style that may not be apparent to the untrained observer. Making up blocks and kicks may be sufficient against an untrained attacker, but against a professional fighter, you will come out on the losing end.

If you really want to learn to defend yourself, take a class in self-defense.

You need to be more clear when asking questions so that we can provide accurate answers.

I think 'whtknt' had it all summed up. You need to (a) learn to spell,
and (b) get yourself a life and an education. Then come back and ask intelligent questions.
And in answer to your 3rd question, NO, you can't just put together a few kicks, punches and blocks and call them martial arts. The study of martial arts is as much about character-building as it is about learning techniques that might help you out of a 'dire' situation. My instructor always maintained that it was better to walk away from a fight, especially if the opponent was carrying a knife. Oh, my instructor was/is Hanshi Shiro Asano, 9th Dan. Ask him!!

Your blocks and punches, grabs and grappling techniques are just the basics to work from, if and when you get attacked in a real situation, the way you trained is designed to help you in a real situation.

In a fight, your opponent won't attack you how a member of your class will in your training, if an opponent on the street attacks you, it's gonna be fast, hard and they're really gonna try to hurt you, not stop an inch in front of your face as your classmate is taught to do.

on the street someone trying to hurt you will do JUST THAT, they're trying to hurt you or even kill you, but what you learn will help you as you get better and progress in rank.

you'll gain muscle memory, which is to say that you'll automatically react to a punch or kick to defend yourself if you've been properly taught what to do.

No you can't make up your own blocks and just call it Martial Arts, most of the blocking techniques that're in all Martial arts are the same or are similar in one discipline or another as they've come from the same based discipline.

think about a block you might "come up" with and see if it works as compared to a block that you've learned.

People try it all the time. The may be crooks trying to get your money by pretending to teach you a martial art that doesn't exist, but you will probably only learn something to give you a false sense of security, which will get you hurt or killed in a dire situation. Schools that are affiliated with national and international groups are more likely to be legitimate.

martial arts teach you way of life, and teaches you dedication on your body and mind, it also teaches you to defend yourself from attackers, they show you simple moves that after practise become second nature, when your training at your do Jo, you do it smartly cause that's what looks good, but the method is lodged in your brain, so if your ever attacked then even sloppy blocks will stop the blow dead or being as power-full if they do land, and in that split second they don't hit you you hit ........HARD................ then walk away,

When you get to fighting, you make it up as you go along, anyway. Your art is the framework upon which you hang your skill. How you apply your skill is influenced by the situation you are in.
Violence is - by its nature - chaotic.

About as much as someone could make up methods to fix your car, without ever seeing under the hood before.
