gcav Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 No, his sixth sense would be: Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it Stop starring. Stop starring. Stop starring. Stop starring. Stop starring. Stop starring. I sensed that you would say that, so there was no need for me to type it. On the street I have seen all kinds of stupid things happen because someone looked at someone else "the wrong way". And it can go as far as killing. Train like your life depends on it....Because it does.
WapCaplet Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Once again, I am so glad I live in Canada. Roughly 1/4 the murder rate of the U.S. You guys should stop staring at each other. Wap "Fighting fighting. Same Same""But you know karate!""Someone always know more..."

Wap Yeah, but in Canada you've got many many more hunting "accidents"... if you know what I mean. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.

And it can go as far as killing. That is why I stated: Sometimes, one must "humble" thenselves to avoid conflict. Although, it depends on the area/situation.
gcav Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I agree. Just walk away. Train like your life depends on it....Because it does.

Roughly 1/4 the murder rate of the U.S. You guys should stop staring at each other. umm dont you guys have insaine suicide rate though? Slightly higher suicide rate here, yes. I wouldn't say "insane", though. In 1996 the USA suicide rate was roughly 10.6, in Canada it was 12.5. I wouldn't call that insane. The fact that the murder rate is 400% higher in the US is insane. At any rate, I'll take a higher suicide rate over a higher murder rate, given the grim choice. I'm not afraid that I might kill myself. It's the other people who scare me. Wap "Fighting fighting.

tommarker Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 It's a funny balance. Some criminals will use eye contact to determine if you are a hard target or a soft target. If you go out of your way to avoid their stare, you can risk looking like a punk and therefore open yourself up to more problems. Getting in a staring contest could bring similar problems. The trick I think is to meet eye contact, acknowledge it, and then continue on your business. That way there is no challenge thrown down, and no sign of weakness on your part. In some situations, it's just a catch-22. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
47MartialMan Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Hmmnnn. The stare is the wat of saying "what are you looking at" per challenge? Or what you are saying, it could be a prevention like saying "I am confident, I am not weak"?
