equaninimus Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Drunken Monkey has pretty well summed it up. If given a choice, I would prefer not to fight at all. If I have to fight, a firearm or a long stick would be nice. If I am unarmed, I accept that I am going to get injured in the course of the encounter. Onaga Yoshimitsu (Shorin Ryu) has a saying that I find particularly appropriate: "Ti (karate) is not about winning (tournaments), but about not losing (in self defence encounters)."

Hmmmm..... sounds pretty familiar. Didn't Funakoshi say the same? René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
