Kara Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 i wonder what the rules are for other places...does anyone know the laws in other contries? and is it always a law that black belts are lethal and can't fight without being charged?

cathal Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if you're defending yourself. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 The idiots of the world always want to try to defeat the martial artists. I suppose they see it as some glorified trophy they can share with all their idiot bully buddies, if they were to beat one. Then as expected they will file suit against you if you beat them. Sadly many of the laws favor the criminal in this aspect. Thats why in my school we teach our students not to readily advise everyone they train to fight. In fact I prefer they keep it as secret as possible. After all it is a personal development they seek, and it shouldnt matter if anyone else knows. In a street/real life attack we as martialists certainly shouldnt be pondering legal ramifications. The response should be swift and decisive, so we go home that day/night. Its about survival. The old adage is true, Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Also remember the 5 words of defense: "I feared for my life". Martial arts training is like any other weapon or tool of protection, the less your opponent knows about your weapons, the more effective they are. If you tell everyone you carry a gun, you can bet only gunmen will assault you. Be smart, be safe, stay alive. Leave the law to the lawyers. "Enemies you threaten make armies. Enemies you destroy make graves.""Even though you hold a sword over my heart I will not give up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davison Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 In the state where i live, you wouldn't be charged with attack with a deadly weapon, it would just be aggravated battery,which is a class three felony. If you told someone that you were going to beat them up or kill them, then you could be arrested for assault. It varys from state to state.I m sure other states probably are more harsher than others. Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
