Don’t kick the balls, so not cool.
I dont know, if the situation dictates it.....Ive been in some pretty rough fights and a quick snap kick to the balls has saveed me from getting my head stoved in with a bat.
Also if heavily outnumbered or if they are hevily armed, you have to even up the odds somehow. Thats what street fighting is all about. Survival.
I dont agree with kicking someone when their down though, its happened to me several times and is not very sporting at all. Unless the person has tried to shoot you, then i would give a quick kick to the ribs, cause that is not cool. Guns in a fist fight that is.
#
uve been shot at before?
Not during a fist fight but yes, with Slug Guns, Home made Air Cannons and Tube Launchers.
Oh, i once had lawn darts thrown at me in a fight. now they’re scary!
Used to shoot rifles anad other firearms out bush for target practice before the gun laws got too retarded.

No it’s not cool. I’ve done it a lot of times which is why I don’t particularly feel proud of it nor do I like talking about it. But something inside me says, “what ever you do, do not let that son of a b*tch get up”. It’s almost become a reflex where I don’t think, I just do.
Yeah, ive been there once or twice. I think it is a mixture of adrenalin, fear and anger that over-rides the brains ability to stop you from doing something that in normal circumstances you wouldn’t do.
Sometimes its just best to Zen out.

The path of the Samurai lies not in the skill, but in the philosophy and belief system that binds all that they do.
Skill comes from experiance, Being comes from within.
A person is what he/she believes in, as this in turn dictates the actions in life and their journey through it.

ah, but notice I said “not really”. I’m fully aware there is much more to being a Samurai than simply the martial art training.

ah right. duh. To be honest, I’m not too terrible. I’ve only been there three months, but I’m working on stuff that’s like a rank or two above me. I catch onto the stuff quick. And I got several compliments today during Aiki.

Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi Rep: 31Joined: 25 Dec 2006 Posts: 6,772 OFFLINE | I’ll be sure to. There’s only one that I slip up on, but I still do well enough. Hopefully when/if I pass my Hakama doesn’t take too long to arrive. Or my heavyweight. ---
