Martial Arts Discussion

[John M.]

Holy cow Batman! I've been in a few fights (and I'm only 16 at the moment ) but I've never hospitalized someone, proably as they were always the aggressor and doing most of the fighting by themselves.

I've never been one to go looking for the fight. I've even had my nose broken a couple of times just to smile at the idiot and walk away. A tolerance to pain like that kept it from going any further in those cases.

In this case the person I had to fight was psychotic, off his meds & really intended to kill me so it was him or me.

Funny thing is, he started hanging around like my little toadie after that until the family moved a year latter. :rolleyes:

Of course! That is the point of MA's imo, so that you won't have to fight but if you DO that you know how to defend yourself.

Let's try and keep this on the topic of types of Martial arts you lads study, and not turn it into a comparrison of scars and battle wounds please.
