Guitar_lover Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 Yeah i was wondering for storys, of other people who have done Karate, how effective it has been in self defence situion. Or where u have messed up or something has to work, and u have learned from it. Or how it effected you. Just so i can learn from other people really this is, and to learn from other peoples mistakes. Which i feel is allways good. Peace PEACE AND LOVE."When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace"
Kirves Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 My very first street fight was against a robber who tried to take my sister's purse. He was very high on some drugs and I was drunk. What I learned was: a guy on drugs may not feel anything. Anything includes groin kicks, eye jabs and strikes to the side of the neck.
hobz Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Did you get your sisters purse? Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
HulkHogan Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 i got into a couple brawls with some karate guys. I think one guy said he was a black belt or soemthin. I was quite experienced by then and he kicked hard but I ended up tackling him and bashing his chest about 10 times with my fists kind of like an ape it knocked the windout of him and the fight was over. I think i came out because he used a very strict form and I dont think he ever tried to fight an ape befor.

Kirves Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Yeah, I got it back - or to be more precice: I prevented him from getting it in the first place, then he got mad and attacked me. But I got help from a pizzaman who ran out from a nearby pizza place to help me out.
GrrrArg Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 mmm pizza... I use my karate everyday of my life the way I walk and carry myself is due to my training and it shows a confidence in my body that stops people from trying to pick on me (even the ones that used to try don't anymore). The times that I have had to resort to using it, it has done me proud. Although it is worth mentioning the only time when I had to use it and ended up getting hurt was the time that I didn't really have to use, I let my pride get trampled and responded badly, I now have a small but permanent scar in the corner of my mouth that reminds be that hot-headedness and arrogance are bad qualities and when you let them run free they send your skills out the window. Ah well, a lesson learned. I blame testosterone. Side note i'm 18 today!!!!!
Kirves Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Happy B-day! Yeah, I use karate in one way or another just about every week as a security guard. But the situations where I have been so far "on duty" have been quite mild. No guns have been pulled on me, or any other life-and-death experiences. The drugged robber was the worst I've had to deal with and I don't really know how good I would have been as I got help, and I was drunk. And it was also my first real fight - so I was inexperienced too.
GrrrArg Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 A drunk and a pizza guy vs a drugie, sounds a good plot for a movie...! I think getting a bit of a beating can do people the world of good-not that I advocate attacking people on the street "for their own good" but for MA's and especially young people (more men I should think) getting hurt a bit in a fight shows you that you're not invincible and acts as a catalyst to motivate you to train more.
