My first Tae kwon do instructor dayjobbed as a postman after leaving the Rangers. He was set upon by thugs who attempted to steal the post. So he put them down and he was brought to court. Apparently he wasnt meant to defend himself, but the just hand over the goodz.cockbeard wrote:Self defence can be performed pre-emptively, so don't worry too much about the coppers either

I also think that getting in fights in the first place is pretty retarded full stop, regardless of how good you think your chances are or how much of a cunt the other guy was calling you. The judo comment is pretty good, I clearly said anything I learned could not be relied upon in a real fight, but the classic stock response whenever a 'judo guy' opens his mouth because all the strikes aren't taught anymore and its all holds and grappling makes anything he says inferior to a guy from the army or a guy who is former football hooligan is pretty lolsome because neither of those instances feature someone's mrs taking a drip tray off the bar and cracking you over the back of your head with it either. But most of all, I'm angry that people debote brainpower to thinking about they could win in a fight with x,y,z tactics or strategy when this is a forum of grown-ups who should have learned a long time ago that all violence is retarded and that fisticuffs irl are massively fail on all fronts. Hunk's bus story notwistanding as he was diving in to help a guy, which doesn't really take any martial arts knowledge, just balls and the boiling indignation that you have to share the planet with people who behave like fucking chimps.

Aye - and I was also really surprised when it was on QI that bare knuckle boxing is much, much safer than what we currently know as boxing, simply because of the gloves. Bare knuckle definitely a lot bloodier and all that, but hardly anyone (IIRC, no-one?) ever died, but the gloves and hand protection means that boxers can now punch each other in the head much, much harder, leading to way more brain damage, head injuries and deaths.Escape wrote:This has a name. It's why gloves were invented, because hands break before skulls. I've only ever seen one boxer involved in a club hubbub, and he used body punches exclusively. ...Moot_Geeza wrote:The last time anything happened that I couldn't avoid, I broke a knuckle with the only punch I threw.
