delta1 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I tell people online really bad strategic advice so that if I meet them in person I can easily expoit them. I think everyone here knows and uses that strategy! Freedom isn't free!
Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I thought this worked rather well actually, and would use it again. I have a friend that was having the 3rd anniversary of his sports bar, and wanted a couple of extra "bouncers". Mostly just a show of force, and to check id's at the door. Anyway, these 3 guys came into the bar, rather drunk already when they got there, and were pretty lound and obnoxious. After maybe an hour, the owner asked me if I would talk to these guys and see if htey would calm down. Sooooooo...over I went. One of the guys gives me the standard "F**k you a**hole!" (pardon), so I asked him again, VERY politely, to please try to calm down or I would have to ask him to leave. He spun around and grabbed my shirt with one hand and said "And what are you going to do about it?" My first thought was to drop the guy like a sack of flour, but an odd thing grabbed my attention immediately..like time stood still. Nobody in the bar was talking, and all of the maybe 300+ people crowded in there was so quiet, you could have heard a mouse fart in the corner. Why I said this, instead of physically taking control of the situation, I don't know..but I said to him..."Look buddy, you're what? Maybe 23-25 years old? I'm 50. So as I see it, if you hit me and knock me down, everybody in the place is going to say..."Look at that jerk beating up the old man!" Either that, or maybe I could drop you, then everybody would say "Look at that young punk..can't even take an old man!" I told him..."Either way, you aren't going to win this, and if you do swing on me, the owner will press charges, and you will go to jail and get a nice, little fine. So why don't you and your friends just sit down and relax, have a good time...but try to hold the noise down. And you know what? That's exactly what he and his friends did too! lol I thought it was GREAT! My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
ShirKhan Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 I just go straight in, low and fast, no chat, no nothing. You usually know a fight is going to start a long time before people swing, so if I know the situation is going that way, I might as well attack now and get the upper hand. If it makes me look like the instigator, who cares. I go in low and close, I want the top of my head on a level with his chin (I'm 5'11") and I hit with the goal of knocking him off his feet, double palms, shoulder strikes, hip thrusts for openers.

Drunken Monkey Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 haha, i once had a run in with some kid while i was on my way home with a three section staff... the bravado quickly turned into "what the hell is that?" which slowly turned into "you know how to use that?" which then turned into a nice conversation about the ethics of martial arts. 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."
hajime Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I just got 'you're f***ing mental' before they ran off. you had a more interesting conversation then 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
Drunken Monkey Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 well, turned out one of them was a capoeria/breakdance guy. 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."
