what's your laundry list for sending someone out in the world? lets say you have a reasonably fit twenty-year old and you want them to stand a fighting chance('surviving' chance?) at barehanded or lighlty armed combat. what do you teach them and how long would it take?
here's my list, just spitballing, you understand:
technic-front kick, good and solid, no snapping. round kick, shin and toe-in styles. heel and toe stomps.
straight jab, twist punch(taught as a cross, not shotokan style), hook punch, a few open hand strikes.
a good stand-up guard with variations. covering the head and body, intercepting punches(upper block, outer block, inner block.
osoto-gari, ouchi gari, kosoto-gari, koshi-nage(mix and match with seio, tai-otoshi etc.
single and double leg pulls.
front rolls, side and back falls, the guard and a few ways to get out of mount(i only know a few
)
theory-
plenty of dynamic interaction, drilling a few basic responses to a few basic attacks, etc., defensive vs. offensive actions, risk and intent assesment.
'stuffing' a weapon into the attacker and screaming bloody murder.
structure, anatomy and physiology, the very basics.
the mile in nine minutes or better
six months, 1-2 hours a night., everything else is up to them, i say.
