Just a question, the martial arts are fine in a given situation but what about the real world when some nutter is trying to batter the brains out of you.

Martial arts are there firstly to control yourself, your own temper. And keep yourself safe. If that is not an option to use the opponents force against themselves...similar to pulling a door open when it is being pushed from the other side. And only to use any kind of injury inflicting method as a last resort.

That kind of training can make your reactions faster and wiser, buying you valuable time and stopping you losing your head and or your temper. Best of all it teaches you to recognize those kind of triggers that get you really annoyed.. and deal with them. So it becomes an art of self development.

But martial arts intrinsically have the history of young men being trained for warfare when life expectancy was of no importance, neither were training insuries as you weren't expected to live that long anyhow.

You'd have to be awfully experienced to cope with the unexpectedness of an attack, with knives and a gang of guys who are more than happy to pile in.

Battle of wits - all the way.

All part of it... you can only be street wise though if you recognize your own role within it all...

i had a scuffle last year in town in subway i was propa P*ssd though this bloke about 40 year old said i pushed in and was being quite aggressive towards me i was on my own anyway i stood my ground and offered the bloke out before i went to whack him i got arrested in the older bloke claimed i started it at the time i was 19 and received a nice 80 pound fine i usually now avoid trouble for the simple reason its swarming with police nowadays not worth spending my hard earned cash on fines

but i must say some people do deserve it

First lesson in martial arts about coming across a potential dangerous situation - RUN LIKE HELL - only fight if you have no option.

Anybody hear that football thug talking on '5' live today re milwall vs West Ham. Scary, didn't care if innocents got caught up, (it's only a stabbing' was his attitude)

on a serious note my lad got into a punch up 2 months ago when a couple of gate crashers wouldnt leave his flat he battered the pair of them but got stabbed in the face with a broken bottle during the fight ,these scum were released on liscense for stabbing another lad in similar circumstances, my lad is 6ft 2, 14 stone and done martial arts since a boy ,2 inches to the right he would have been blinded, 2inches lower he would be dead its a shame there are people out there who resort to these tactics when getting into these situations but some people only understand one type of language and in my opinion its better to be fluent in it than be looking for your phrase book when it does kick off ,good for your lad Dave i am glad he gave said bully a hiding and hopefully the bully will think twice the next time he wants to start on someone

 

[doug boardley]

although I agree wholeheartedly that bullies deserve their comeuppance, trouble is still always best walked away from imo:ninja:
