Menjo Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 This reminds me of a time when some kids yelled at me across the street, and I didnt do anything. The wierd thing is I regret not pounding every one of them, my advice for dealing with a situation where people yell a stupid comment or something, it doesnt matter what you do just make sure you wont regret it.

Sam Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 yeah - but it doesnt matter - they'll still always shout stuff or atleast there'll always be people like that... not worht getting annoyed about, and doing something you'll regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anbu Alex Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 If they yell and dont phsically attack you i say dont waste your time with them if you ignore them theyll feel stupid and go home and cry on how horrid their life is while you laugh at their immaturity just be cool White belt for life"Destroy the enemies power but leave his life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Im not sure they'll run home, etc etc. but ill assume that was a joke I dont think unless you have NO OTHER options, that its really worth getting into a fight, even if it means walking away from some thing liek that....Okay there are situations where defense of others may come into play, but just in general as an MAist pride and proving your point shouldnt really come in to it.

fallen_milkman Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I think I have one of the more amusing stories about people like this.I live in the suburbs, where I've noticed people just don't know how to mind their own business like those in the city. Anyways, the roads in my area are set up kinda goofy. This results in one of my neighbors being able to see into my back yard from his basketball hoop across the street and around the corner. Well, one day a friend of mine and I were sparring in my back yard, and he landed a kick to my ribs. The next thing we know is we hear some guy yell "Nice kick, *expletive deleted*!" and some goofy highschool bully laughter (you know the stuff). We decided to ignore the three kids, and keep fighting. After awhile, we took a break and sat down in my driveway. The next thing we know, the three kids drive by, each in their separate fancy car their mommies probably bought them, yelling various profanity and making exceedingly rude gestures. It was the most amazingly wasteful and stupid thing I have ever seen. An idiot parade of sorts. They then pulled into their driveway, right in view, and continued playing basketball. Lucky for them, we are more easily amused than angered. Imagine if we had been the violent type! We had our swords, staffs, and nunchaku within arms reach when they did this, not to mention they were aware we were training in unarmed combat. Well, this ended up longer than it needed to, but I just don't understand why people would pick fights with those that obviously know how to seriously injure someone in a fight. Same deal happens when we have class in our local park. People driving by just yelling abusive, hateful things...at people holding swords. 36 styles of danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMike Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Our style teaches that there are three levels to honor in self defense. The highest is to avoid trouble, the second is to have to talk your way out of it, and the last is to have to fight.By going out and saying something to the guy later, you could be escalating the situation, not something a martial artist should do. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
