cathal Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 One of the best reasons is right there, to avoid fighting as much as possible. .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

Ace2021 Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Well done. I've been in a situation similar to that myself, a guy and his friends picked a fight with my friend, they hit him, I hit them, they stopped. Some people will fight, but not if they are retaliated. A New Age Dawns
alsey Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 People are ridiculous sometimes.some people just want to have a fight, which is of course ridiculous. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana
bbk2132 Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 good jobi am most proud that you did use MA as a first resort. It's always best to try to find a non-violent way out first, even if the guy deserved it.I've had a few issuse like that, and i always grab the wrist get them in a position where they are on the ground, unable to attack, or i can easisly cause pain when they struggle, (such as an arm bar where i can threaten to snap their arm like a twig...hehe). This way i have a chance to talk to them about why what they did was wrong/stupid. i just love to lecture while they are on the ground whimpering.
