Drunken Monkey Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 trust me it makes more sense in chinese... the point is, it shouldn't matter what side they face you cos the end effect is still going to be the same. something enters your space. you deal with it. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Treebranch Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I'm agreeing with you. Defeat the person, not the weapon means: the stance someone takes is irrelevant. His weapons being his arms and legs. Defeat the person by moving to an advantageous position, wherever that may be.

SevenStar Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 we were always taught: an arms an arm, a leg's a leg. doesn't matter if it's coming at you from the south pole, you only have to deal with it when it enters your gates. It matters. It matters because of the strategy change that's required. The ultimate goal (beating them) remains the same, but your means to do so changes.

Drunken Monkey Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 ... if all it takes is someone to stand southpaw against you to make you re-evaluate what you are doing, then don't you think there's a flaw in your training? it shouldn't matter how they face you. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

MMouse Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 ... if all it takes is someone to stand southpaw against you to make you re-evaluate what you are doing, then don't you think there's a flaw in your training? it shouldn't matter how they face you. If you don't take note of the change and make use of the advantages disadvantages brought on by any situation, then your training is flawed. each is different, like it or not. Power side forward or back, left or right. They are subtle changes. Should it be life and death? Absolutely not, but like it or not, the situation changes, different opportunites present themselves and if you aren't ready to make use of it, your done.
