GojuRyu Shawn Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 O.K, heres the scoop. I have had trouble with this bully for a while, mostly i've taken all of the verbal abuse. He hadn't used physical until this one day. I took all of the abuse, but instead of letting it go, I bottled it. One day, he was pestering me more than usual. We were excused for recess (this was in elementary), and we went outside, still I was taking the shouts and stuff. He finally said something that really upset me(can't remember what it was), and I turned around to face him. We were face to face. He was talkin s*** about me and punched me when i wasnt paying attention. Suddenly i just snapped. I got into my fighting position, hopped around a bit, and got ready for a front kick. He swung a few times at me, I either dodged or blocked them. Easy stuff. I backed up a bit, he charged, and I got him right in the stomach with the front kick. He let out an oomph and fell, clutching his stomach. I ran, not knowing what to do. Do you think I did the right thing by hurting him? Looking back on it, I realize I may not have controlled my emotions too well. Current: Yellow Belt in GojuRyu. White Belt in Kabudo.
jos2thehua Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I have snapped like that also. But did you do the right thing...well thats hard say. I mean if he punched you and it hurt really bad then yes. I guess... 90% of teenagers have tried smoking pot OR drinking. If you're one of the 10% who hasn't, copy this and put it in your Signature
Little Dragon Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Well back then you were in elementary school and just started out in MA(?) Your older now,more experienced in the art you take...you are much more disciplined now.Whats done is done. ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
GojuRyu Shawn Posted November 2, 2004 Author Posted November 2, 2004 Yes, I was a white belt. I'm still in elmentrary lol. Grade 8. Im gettin my yellow belt next week. And this fight was a few days before school ended. Current: Yellow Belt in GojuRyu. White Belt in Kabudo.
Rich67 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Sounds like you did fine. No one has to take abuse much less get punched and simply ignore it. You followed the course of self defense, and handled it properly. The way you described the situation, it sounded as if you really had no choice aside from running to an aide with your tail between your legs to tattle and you reacted properly. Have you had any problems with this guy after the fact? Mixed Martial Artist
ncole_91 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I think you did the right thing becuase if you went and told a teacher, he would keep bugging you but now you showed him a "lesson"
Little Dragon Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Yes, I was a white belt. I'm still in elmentrary lol. Grade 8. Im gettin my yellow belt next week. And this fight was a few days before school ended. only a few months ago?! haha oh well,you kicked his * and he wont mess with you anymore.If he does,you'll be more experienced in self defense the next time ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
GojuRyu Shawn Posted November 2, 2004 Author Posted November 2, 2004 Thanks for the support. The punch winded me, hurt a bit, and left a blue bruise, so I suppose it was right... Current: Yellow Belt in GojuRyu. White Belt in Kabudo.
Little Dragon Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 eh...if he punched me in the face and he was on the ground,i would sitll be piissed.I think i would probably pull a bruce lee and stomp on his chest xP ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
