Deathcometh Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Don't you just hate it when people talk about beating you up and all you can do is laugh because odds are you could throw him across the room. Well you see I always have people doing that to me mainly because I took an oath when I began TKD to never use it inless you don't a choice (life and death). So all I learned can't be used inless one of them has a gun or something. But the problem is that I would just like to show them that maybe they should think twice about trying to pick a fight. But anyways I would like to hear from any of you out there that my have to or already have dealt with something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Hiya, Death. My dad always told me to never start a fight, but finish it. If someone is going to take a swing at me, I'm not going to just stand there. I'm going to block and counter. I'll leave it at that. If they come at me again, I'll do it again. But I would never start a fight on purpose. Or if it's just a guy with a big mouth, I'll tell them "I won't fight you." Unless of course, they take the first swing. Usually if you say it loud enough with people around, someone will break up the fight before it starts, anyway. If need be, I would only meet them with equal force. If all they are going to do is "swing" at me, then I'll block and swing back. If they try to choke me, I'll escape and use something that would equal that force, ect. If they have a weapon, I'll go for the kill. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathcometh Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 You make a really good point. See I would more likely just avoid the punchs mainly because it makes them look pretty bad. But what really gets me is just because someone hasn't seen me fight they think they just beat me up and be done with me. Well I kind of feal sorry for them. Because I know if I had never seen them fight I would think twice you never know who your fighting. But thats ok if they want to fight me they will find out the hard way and most people wouldn't even learn from that. *sigh* they will just never learn.

karatekid1975 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Smart thinking If it's just someone with a "muscle mouth", egnore'em. Because if you don't fight them, they'll get tired of flapping they're lips. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 One more thing. Don't get hit Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathcometh Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 Even if they did hit me........*laughs*......it wouldn't do anything to me. Because in TKD you will get hit even some blocks can hurt but we all have to find a way to put that pain out of our minds. Then and only then will we ack where other people would freeze about the chance that they may get hit. So YAY for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I agree. In our TKD school, we fight full contact, so we are pretty much used to being "pounded" on. If someone outside the school hit us, we'd just look at them and laugh and say, "that's it???" Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Hey, these people are your friends! I still remember the quote KickChick told me... Stronger is the man who wins over himself than others.. I like it that peopole think I can't fight and/or know nothing about MA, then I suggest sparring to them, kind of ironic they refuse to spar don't you think ? I haven't hit anyone for ages, and no one has hit me either by the same token. I don't tell people about my training, ignorance is a bliss! It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Hiya Bon. That was a little joke I said above. No, I don't tell people either. But in class, with fellow students, we go full force (with gear on, that is So, if someone were going to hit me, I'd be ready. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
