Angus Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Yeah, i suppose. That's probably one of the drawbacks of not doing the proper 'school' teachings. A lot of my stuff has been gym, garage, backyard, school yard type setup and u don't get the whole noble atmosphere. U just learn to fight. Ah well, Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 do on to others , on how others treat you if the guys is trying to hurt you, slash you slash him or hurt him back though morally this is wrong, but disarming a person doesnt mean he/she is not gonna hit you again, though hurting them will prevent them hitting you back, though it does depend how hard you hit the do what you think is right, the street is much more scarier and much different than when you sparring with somebody -ad Brown Sash Hsing I/Lau Gar Kung FuBrown Belt San Shou17 yr oldhttp://www.selfdefencehelp.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joecooke007 Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 If I were in a street fight it could be a life death situation. If my assailant had a weapon and attacked me, I would consider killing him flat out. If the attacker was unarmed I would break his arm and call the cops. It's their job, not mine. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guerrero Loco Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Really ppl, how many of u could get out of a headlock with a knife to your throat??? But....if you could, why would anyone merely disarm them? What r u? The Power Rangers? Take his knife, turn it sideways and shove it straight up his rooty poo candy @$$.

Withers M.A.A. Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 My philosophy on that is to do one less than what the person attemted on you. If they insult you - walk away if they push you - insult them if they try to hurt you - push them if they try to maim you - hurt them if they try to kill you - maim them and only kill if it is imperative for your survival. This way of thinking is somewhat rational. So to answer your question if they had a knife to my throat and were trying to kill me, then if giving the opportunity you can guarantee I will break that arm in as many positions as possible.

Bon Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I agree with that to an extent, it's justified, I understand your point. I will never push someone, if I'm going to fight, I want the opening blow to count, I don't want to warn someone I'm going to fight. That philosophy is more likely to encourage a fight, rather than avoid it. I take more an eye for an eye philosophy, hit me, I'll laugh at you and walk away. You've hurt me mentally & emotionally, now I'm going to get you back tenfold by laughing in your face and walking away. Unless I sense I'm in serious danger, I won't fight. A knife, I wouldn't hesitate to break their arm & more if I could succcessfully disarm them since they could potentially kill me.

Bon Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Withers, the more I think about your philosophy, the more 'foolish' I think it seems.. Someone insults you, you walk away, fair enough. Someone pushes you, you insult them, if they're pushing you when you haven't insultled them, then you insult them, what's next ? He's going to walk away ? Not likely, he's probably a macho dude if he's pushing you around and likely to get more macho if you insult him, especially if you insult him in front of his buddies or a group of people. Someone's trying to hurt you & you push them, aren't they just going to want to hurt you more ? I'm taking into account the other person is a decent fighter when I say all this. If it's just some macho try hard, which most of them seem to be, then it's probably not too bad to start a fight It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
