ckdstudent Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 No, the most dangerous is definitely the hyperactive, ten year old yellow belt. Especially when you give pressups as a punishment so they've got shoulders like Schwarzenegger. Actually that's an exaggeration, but I agree with you in principle. ---------Pil SungJimmy B
-- Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Lol. We used to have this kid in our class named Cameron, ten years old. He was one of those obnoxious kids, y'know, the kind that try to go around picking fights with other kids to try out the new move they just learned. Whenever our sensei would be talking, Cameron would fold his arms across his chest and put his hand in his chin, in a 'thinker' type pose. This really annoyed our sensei, who specifically told us that arms crossed, on your hips, on your head, or any such variation, was improper Shotokan ettiquete. Anyway, Cameron would do that on purpose, so often, in fact, that we dubbed his pose the 'Kamerundachi' (Cameron stance). When we recieved our new belts at the beginning of class, he proudly strutted up, almost snatched the yellow belt from our sensei, spun around with a smug grin on his face...and tripped over the end of his dangling belt. Flat on his back. There's really no point to this story, I just felt like sharing it. Remember kids, if your sensei doesn't get you, your belt will! d-----
ckdstudent Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Hmm, we'd have a kid like that either: a) doing pressups or something equally distasteful (depending on the kid) each time b) being given a loud dressingdown in front of the class c) sitting out until they were ready to adjust their attitude ---------Pil SungJimmy B
-- Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Cameron liked push-ups, sitting in the corner, whatever. He didn't mind. We found his weakness, country music. I think that's why he left d-----
-- Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 Because officers usually have backup, and are usually after only one suspect. Plus, they want to take the guy down without injury. When a civilian gets into this kind of situation, he is usually outnumbered. The best thing to do is simply cause as much damage as you need to in order to get away without them following you. If you try to take one to the ground, he will pull a knife and stab you into a bloody pulp. A cop, of course, has his gun in this situation. Most people don't. Also, if you take one down, the other guy will knock the crap out of you. The ground is the worst place to be when you're attacked. You are not aiming to subdue your attacker. You simply immobilize them and run. d-----

Insanity Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 i have to say one thing, some people say that 90% of fights end up in the ground, but they forgot to mention that 100% start from standing.!!

Kirves Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 If it works for officers, then why not us. Because cops are into handcuffing people, while the rest of us usually aren't.
