pineapple Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 He'll say to himself, "since I can't beat you hand to hand, I'll get my baseball bat and hit you from behind."The element of surprise (your opponent not knowing that you have skills) is a great asset to your defense.

White Warlock Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Agreed on all points presented. Also, what's to say they're going to believe you? I've heard plenty of 'non-belts' saying stuff like that, as a means to intimidate.Titles mean nothing, words count, actions count. Communicate to end a confrontation, or just get busy.

orion82698 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What's to say that they're not a Black belt in BJJ, MMA, Judo... bla bla blaNow, you have just invited a challenge in, and now you have no where to go. Does he have a weapon? Is he willing to be leathal? Have you ever been in a street fight to know how to react? your nerves are flying, adrenaline is up, and you probably aren't focused.Many things need to be considered before lending a hand. 1. Call the authorities first. If the fight does start, and get outta control, help is on the way. 2. If it does get out of control, can you get away?

whitematt Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Why not just say..."I'm a black belt in jiu jitsu , muay thai, shokatan, zzpas, abc, and def"To a person who is causing trouble or about to fight with you. I'm sure they would run away with that And if the guy you are about to fight finds out that you are a karate master, then you will find common ground on your fighting knowledge and not fight.And your aggressor says, "Is that supposed to impress me?"Instead, point and shout, "Look it's the Goodyear blimp!" Then turn and run.Or just tell them that you don't want to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Lion Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 that reminds me a story a fellow student told me once. He was faced with this bully in the metro, i dont remember all the details but somehow the situation escalated and the guy said "im a karate black belt" then my friend replied "well you might be able to fight me then" then the other guy freaked out and try to get out of the confrontation.Suprise is usually your best ally like someone mentioned earlier. You could face a cocky much higher belt who doesnt know you can fight, thats a big plus. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_ Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 If you're a black belt, then, if he loses, he has an excuse. If he wins, he has a trophie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
