I remember when one of the students asked our Tang Soo Do teacher that thing about having to warn them three times, and if it was true.
"Sure. The backfist to the head is their first warning..."
I am always reminded of that scene in "Cannonball Run;"
Roger Moore: "I have to warn you, I'm Roger Moore."
Biker: "Who?"
Roger Moore: "Uh, Roger Moore?" >SMASH!<
I always quote a line I heard , I believe it was in "Weaponless Warriors" not sure, and I think it was Chaka Zulu who said it;
"You can call me Pu$sy, F@ggot, whatever. But you put your hands on me, you're gonna get hurt...bad."
I will use whatever force it takes to stop my opponent from continuing his attack.
Unconciousness usually works.
I teach my students to use barrages and combinations, each one setting up the next. If one or two strikes do the job, you can always stop, rather than only knowing a one shot deal type of reaction. It's like dressing for the cold-you can always take something off, but you can't put on what you don't have.
