granmasterchen Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 i would probably suggest (with least amount of punishment) yet still not looking like a wimp, side step, stick your foot out and trip them, push them with the momentum that they already have and watch them fall, continue your walk to the bar and get a drink, but that is just one of many things, be prepared no matter what for the very worst, you will most likely just get this person really mad and have to cause some more pain, physical and not just to their ego. That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger

Drunken Monkey Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 from what i've seen, the general response is to reach for his/her asp and call in more officers... 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."
cymry Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 If your balance and looseness is good enough, you could simply go with it and use the energy to snap a kick into his groin.

Squawman Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 If you got pushed then it means you were too close to begin with. If the person can push you then they can punch you. Once the confrontation starts distance is always the key. With good distance the person will probably just take a big swing or come diving in so you have time to react.
TheDevilAside Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 ...defending against a push without hurting someone 'badly' is a terrible idea. All you're doing is aggrivating the person.. once you parry the first push, expect a second, harder push.. then a third push that might knock you off your feet, and if you don't fall, you're just asking for the guy to swing at you.

Rich67 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 A push is an aggresive act toward you. Walking away is not a good idea. NEVER turn your back on a potential threat, since you will get coldcoked from behind or worse. Stand in a modified and relaxed fighting stance,and tell the guy to please not touch you again. Back away with the momentum of the initial push to gain some reaction distance. Don't wait for a second push. If they guy comes toward you again, strike him first. You can justify this as self defense because: 1) He has already commited a battery upon your person 2) You are in reasonable fear that his coming at you again, despite your request his touch in unwarranted, is an overtly aggresive act. By attacking first, you have put the element of surprise in your favor. Many pushers do the initial push and expect that they can egg you on and get another push in there and maybe another. You may surprise him and catch him off guard if you move in and attack first. Make sure you lay him out fast. He may have friends that may be inclined to help him if the fight goes on too long. By taking him out quickly, his friends may think twice before they jump into the affray. Mixed Martial Artist
TheDevilAside Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 I second that motion. Excellent point. But, if you really want your question to be answered, the only non-painful defense that's worked against a push for me, was, to taunt. That only works if the guy is weaker and smaller than you and you know how to display an incredible amount of confidence, if you're lucky, the person will be intimidated, make an insulting comment in order to desperately grab ahold of what pride he has left, and then walk away. Anyway, side effects may include angering the person further and resulting in you getting your * kicked harder than you would have in the first place.
