Thread: The Way of the Peaceful Warrior - A True Event from Today

    The Way of the Peaceful Warrior - A True Event from Today

    I was on the metro earlier, deep in meditation, when a ruffian came over and started causing trouble. He started pushing me with his bag, steadily increasing the force until it became very annoying. When I turned to him, before I could ask him to stop, he immediately started hurling abuse like a scoundrel. Enough was enough. I performed a basic chin na - carotid artery strike combination and sent him to sleep. The rest of my journey was very peaceful, and passersby hailed me as a hero.

    It just shows that training can turn even unpleasant situations into peaceful ones.

    it is important to understand when you are trained you have to realized most people arent, and until there is a phsysical attack towards you, you shouldnt be the agressor and attack first, morally and or legally. If an attack is thrown then you use reasonable force to subdue. just sayin

    Sometimes a warrior must unleash his tiger to keep others in their cages. I could tell this ruffian was about to cause trouble, so I acted first. As I said, most people there considered me a hero.

    Ruffian, rapscallion and scalawag should all be used more in normal conversation, especially around here.

    Hey, I've been out of the loop the past few days...I never heard how Warrior Man's Master test went...how was it W_M? Pray tell...

    And I for the record am a big fan of bringing back high society 19th century vernacular...so long as I can mix it with a healthy dose of street slang...

    Yeah I'd be interested in how the test went for you WM. What exactly did you have to do? Did you pass and become a "Master?"
