Knifefighter:
Being there with a so called resisting opponent is basically the intention. My choices on handling that type of situation might be different than at least some.
But as to sparring--two people addressing each other, relevat to the framework of combat/survival, doing what they do, to the best of their capacity at that now might be what I generally think of for sparring.
Sparring/combat- my notion for survival relates to people do things by mistake or that they regret. The reason behind attacking me might be a misunderstanding or miscomprehension. I should do other than hurt a person with good intensions or a reasonable cause sort-of-thing. If I am uninjured even though they are trying to hurt me I need not hurt them. If my capacity for taking damage or getting out from under begins to approach incapable or the such. I should not suffer for their having a bad attitude or other than correct-ish thinking.
My method of combat would be theoretical as I have not had to fight or I end it before it comes to looking like a fight. How I carry mySelf and where I avoid might have kept me from getting into a fight for the most part.
I would rather defend and get hurt some than have the regret of seriously injuring another because that theoretically might put me and or or mine in greater jeopardy later via Vengece Retribution-minded or Revenge type things.
Someone hitting at me and me deflecting or trying to ground me but I stay standing is great stuff to me. The moment is unique...I worked at taking damage and understanding movement, intention, capability and motivation because I thought that there might be stringer, faster, tougher people around with bad attitudes and being Nice was not a completely safe haven in all circumstances. I was going to get hit but I should not necessarily hit back. While you might not like me I might No_Know you, and have basically no Just cause to hurt you for what you Think you are doing...as it is perhaps a good reason to you. And hurting a person trying to do what they think is Right seems perhaps other than Right...for Me. So (needle-and-thread) I would prefer to not attack as I theoretically had no good cause to hurt you. Besides others grieve when there's gets hurt. I am doing other than looking to intentionally cause family members pain. My family and associates tend to have an idea that I might be considered to have a different way, and would accept my reasons if I allowed my self to get hurt so that others do not get hurt. However, they likely do not, would not agree and think I shoud get person if person tried/tries to hurt me. We should be allowed our opinions and live our beliefs when we have the strength.
Whatever you want to call it Knifefigher--a resisting opponent and me doing Ernie Moore Jr.'s Kung-Fu, Squirrel on video was the concept.
I No_Know how that would look-ish
Thank you.
