To Fight with Honor...


Recommended Posts

I'm all about taking responsibility for ones self. I don't look to anyone else to protect me or mine. The way I see it is if I can't do it myself I don't deserve it. If you catch me slipping, thats my fault. I don't expect anyone to take care of me but me and when I am too old or sick to do it... well, this is the natural order of things my friends. To me life is simpler when you take responsibility for your own existence.

What does this ideal mean to you, in sport fighitng, and in self-defense?

In sport fighting, honor means everything; bushido.

In self-defense, honor means nothing to me; survive.

Webster dictionary defines HONOR as...

1. honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions: a man of honor.

That's not how my attacker attacked me. I must meet distainment with distainment. My attacker only wanted to distroy me and/or my loved ones, therefore, I don't have the luxury or the time to worry about honor.

"He who hesitates, meditates horizontal"~ Ed Parker

I don't hit; because it's honest! I don't hit; because it's fair! I don't hit; because it's in line with my integrity! No! I hit because I must!! I will hit anyway I can because my life and/or my loved ones life is in danger. Allow me to me frank and honest; I'll do whatever I deem proper at that exact moment because I want to and because I have to and because I must!

Can I display honor, and/or can I be honorable while I'm engaged in a self-defense situation? Yes I can! But, I'm not thinking about me being honor at that time. No. I'm only consumed at that very moment with one thing; my and/or my loved ones survival. Honor is important, but, only in the moment of the context as well as the content.

I'll let honor take care of itself while I take care of business!

:)

Agreed, well said!

Just because someone has a bad attitude doesn't justify they need a butt-kickin'. Perhaps they have that attitude because they want someone to try them? Then, they win anyways.
