at the time i was taking san soo and judo, he started talking trash and it escalated. He stepped towards me and threw a right straight. I stepped to my left while grabbing his arm and pulling it further threw straight into ippon seoinage ( one arm shoulder throw ) he hit the ground and laid there for about 20 seconds then started to roll a little and moan alot. His friends were stunned too but just to be safe I said in a low growl " Anyone else? " And did a quick kick to one of his friends groin who stepped foward then fell straight down, I walked off after that. This took place in a park I like to go to where a bunch of skater kids were there.

just last thursday actually, three guys, i was the victor. but i have to be honest, one guy was over weight, and i throw a skinny tall dude into him and then side kicked them both (i got the skinny guy by angling manuver when he tried a haymaker on me) and the third guy? i used a technique i call "The fist of David": I acted scared out of my mind, acted like i tried to run and then triped, and when i went down picked up a good sized pice of loose concrete and hurled it at the one i thought had the best chance of beating me.

You act as though it's unfortunate your martial arts skills are untested in actual combat. Martial arts are supposed to teach mental, emotional, and physical control. Avoiding fights isn't necessarily a good goal, but I think channeling them into verbal confrontation is better than getting into a fistfight. Just like in the physical sense, you're well off if you can channel both your own actions and those of your opponent.

 

Of course, that's easy to say, since I'm a girl...most guys wouldn't hit me, and most girls just resort to hair-pulling.
