Traditional-Fist Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Depends on who he is and how he attacks you. If he is some drunk who can't help himself then he deserves LITTLE mercy. If he is attacking you to hurt and maim you for pleasure then I believe that he deserves NO mercy, . Use your time on an art that is worthwhile and not on a dozen irrelevant "ways".

topdawg Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If you use more force than is needed to stop the threat you could very well be facing criminal charges not to mention being civialy liable for damages done to an attacker A computer beat me in a game of chess once but it was no match for me in a kickboxing match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koji-Kabuto Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I think they don't deserve mercy, of course that would by no means mean I would kill him or anything, but I'd just probably punch him bad and call the cops.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiichi Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I was always taught to "disable" your attacker so they couldn't doit to someone else anytime soon. If that means breaking an arm or snapping some of his fingers, then so be it. They don't deserve to die, but they do deserve a few broken bones.

kenpo_fighter Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 justifiably, yes, what ever harm your adversary has done to you or your loved ones should be brought back on them 10 fold. just make sure that you deliver before the cops arrive. that way you can still claim "self defence".however, there is a difference between what feels right and what is right. a true fighter know's this. "the tiger is fearless and is very powerful. but, the tiger does not think of what it's power can do to others. The dragon is wise and also very strong. however, the dragon fears it's own strength and how it can affect others. " ~perfect weapon Wisdom is knowledge rightly applied. To fight wisely is to rightly apply techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conqueror Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 My philosophy is "if you attack me or mine with true intent to harm, I will hurt you until you are physically unable to perform any malicious act. I will then quickly depart the scene."In practice, that means "stomp them until they cannot conceivably sit up to throw a punch." Here in the south, the law says "do what you have to do to protect yourself or your loved ones. If that means killing, then kill." Jason B.Hendersonville, NC"I'm not really eccentric... I'm not eccentric unless that means 'crazy', which I am, probably." - Kyoshi Doug Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
