Kung Fu is good for you.
I'm married too, but wifey never comes here.
she thinks most of us are boneheads for wasting time on this.
Then I give her heck about how she chooses to spend time with her interests and I get a sandwich after that! It's a sweet deal this marriage thing!
Kung Fu is good for you.
I'm a martial writer. I baffle them with word salad - talk them down. Talking it out is amazingly effective if you have a reasonable vocabulary.

I teach my students to steal the initiative and beat them senseless. Not to wait till the first punch. They deliver the first punch and do enough damage that the aggressor knows without a doubt that they NEVER want to see my student again, not even in court.
This may sound harsh and unethical/illegal, but I know my streets and I know what must be done in my streets to survive and thrive.
Anything less and you just end up someone's b i t c h.

There are two types of Chinese martial artists. Those who can fight and those who should be teaching dance or yoga!
53 years of training, 43 years of teaching and still aiming for perfection!
Recovering Forms Junkie! Even my twelve step program has four roads!
really depends on the situation, some ppl may think differntly whats threatening. I have been a bouncer adn in street fights all my life and I can spot a talker and no walker all day long. if the guy is quiet i get worried.How does your style (or your own personal theories or flavor) react when in threatening situation?
I always try to read the Yi, i am getting better at this a little at a time. if i feel hes about to jump, I initiate the attack. i like to come at him hard and quick so he gets the mesage right away but back off before anyone really gets dmamged.
i do not fight to do damage anymore, now I know I really can screw somebody up it scares me. The last time i fought like that was 1992 and I snapped some guys elbow and got arrested, jailed, bailed and sued. never again
However with the drunk or inexperienced fighter i like to let them atttack first so i can counter off thier mistakes and just control them. its fun to beat up these kind cu you dont really have to fight...
