mouko_yamamoto Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I just have a question about street fighting. I just want to get everyone's perspective on this. If you are in a fight (parking lot, school, etc), and who you are fighting is a pretty even match to you, height, weight, (his fighting ability unknown), you it bother you to give him a shot to the groin, or pluck him in the eyes? Tang Soo Do/Tae Kwon Do....Oh yeah, and unofficially...KENJUTSU"There are five possible operations for any army. If you can fight, fight; if you cannot fight, defend; if you cannot defend, flee; if you cannot flee, surrender; if you cannot surrender, die." ~ Sima Yi
TJS Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 depends on the situation..I wouldent hesitate to kick someon in the groin in a Fight but it would have to be a pretty serious for me to gouge someones eyes out...but if i felt like i was in danger or a loved one was i would in a hearbeat.
delta1 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Neither strike wuould bother me, and I (as most ma's) train for both. It isn't as easy as you'd think to gouge someones eyes out or do permanent dammage to a healthy eye. But in the short term of a fight it is an effective strike. And even if it did permanent dammage, better him than me! Freedom isn't free!
Drunken Monkey Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 the eyes are weak and the body is conditioned to react in a certain way to anything going towards your eyes you don't actually need to have your fingers wedged in there to get a good result. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
sansoouser Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 throws and groin strikes The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
Cybren Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 I don't think you can say you're going to outright do somethng. I'd personally just react to anything he does. Honestally, if I could, i'd run first. If I had to, I'd do whatever it takes to keep myself safe.
Tombstone Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 If its not in the ring, do whatever necassary to come out on top.
Treebranch Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Sure kick him in the groin and follow up with a series of strikes until his out. A hammer blow to the nose after a good groin kick works pretty good.

Cybren Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Treebranch, you can say that, just like I can say I'm going to study and emulate the financial success of Bill Gates, or such
tokeabowl Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 No GROIN SHOTS!! (if you are in high school!) haha if thats the first time you strike and you hit him in the groin, you'll look like a *!!! Instead, do a hook shot to his jaw, right below the ear!!!! THIS WILL STUN HIM GOOD!! I know this from experience. One good shot to the jaw and some one will go down!! (or the nose, but might break it and get sued!!) Go for a groin shot when it is absoultly nessesary! tokin' chokin' chillin'PRIDE! OKINAWA PRIDE!
