Harkon72 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I like that quote too. Always remember to haunt them as well when you are dead Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoriKid Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 There is an account in Col. Grossman's On Combat of a female police officer shot at her home. She returns fire, putting her attacker down and calls for medical help. All this with a gun shot wound to the chest, the bullet having hit her heart as I recall. She didn't just peacefully lay down and die for the bad guys. I've always been of the mind that if I'm going to lose, or I've already "lost" in a fight I'm still going to do my level best to make it a bloody and painful victory. I'm a Ranger Up fan and I have to say, this shirt expresses the idea well enough for me. Wouldn't dare wear it as I'm not law enforcement or military, but it gets the point across. http://www.rangerup.com/brass.html Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.

Ulubis Minor Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So If I were in a situation like a mugging, I would probably do as he says, because most muggings happen behind you and rarely or generally do not lead to death. BUT I would fight for my life if some random slasher came, or I was jumped, and when I fight for real I go in with the mind set of "Not going to die." but in a tournament my mind is "Not going to loose."

Harkon72 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 In Bushido, you look to overcome. If you die, it will be a great death a worthy one. You respect your opponent enough to make him give of his soul to defeat you. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoriKid Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 RU.has a ton of good shirts to pick from. They love Col. Grossman over there too. Couple of sheepdog themes to pick from.

Tkdampbjj Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Great topic by OP. I agree I was watching an Allen Golgerg video where he was doing Wing chun. When an opponent hits you should not stop but continue the flow of the engagement. Stoping when hit or when your opponent is hit does not translate into S.D. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class."- Choi, Hong Hi, Founder of Taekwon-Do“If you are tired you’re not strong, if you are tired you’re not fast, if you’re tired you don’t have good technique, and if you’re tired you’re not even smart".-Dan Inosanto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
