I see HiddenDistance knows the way of the warrior.
I see it as follows: if somebody has intent to fight you to hurt you or kill you, you salute with your left fist, not your right. Make the right greeting.
It is important to know the techniques to seal your vital points with minimal movement, which really means it is important to preempt your opponent's movements and intercept them before they begin.
So you respect women, but you think they're weak and not as capable as men? That seems highly contradictory.
There is only one way in which this is not a contradiction, and that is if you truly take this as your conviction that must be respected. But if you choose this path, you better be good at judo or running away!
If it was my wife, no. If it was a teacher, defintitely no! Mom, you say? Definitely, sincerely, no! Beginning of the road to matricide.
Ok, I was grossly exaggerating. But you get the essence of what I mean.
And the statement was almost oozing with sexism. Why do you have to decide about getting into a fight with women, when the statement implies that a policy of 'attack first, questions later' would be sufficient for men?
Gender equality! 'What you do to a man, you should do to women too. Now guys, go crazy with the wild thoughts your great imaginations can think of.
Period.

i would never hit a girl for any reason. if she attacked me i would just grab her hands and move it away for me. then i would wate till she calmed down or if she passed out(if she was drunk). then i would leave her and be on my way.
hitting a girl is just stupid, i hate people who do hit them. and i dont care if they make exuces about gender equality or all that stuff. im all for gender equality but i would never hit a girl because of gender equality...all those people that do hit girls or would hit them have some kind of problem, i dont know what that problem might be exactly, but i know for sure its just wrong to hit a girls no matter the reason. if i ever hit a girl i would never live with my self.

I do think think tht they're weak, it just eems stupid to me to get into a fight with a woman, under any circumstances, and a man for that matter. Besides those reasons, any woman I get in a fight wou;dn't last long. I'm 6ft tall, I weigh 265lbs, I've trained been in Akido, Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Pankration, and have trained with a former marine/swat team member who now works as a police officer who taught me close quater combat fighting techniques. No f**king joke.
I've worked as a bouncer at a bar now for over a year, I've broken up my own fare share of fights both men and women, so I can handle just about any situation myself even if the odds are stacked against me. Knowing what I know, and how strong I am any women I get in a fight with is gonna be broken...pure and simple...thats why avoid any and all confrontation
My brother used to be in the Paratroop Regiment, and was thus taught certain moves. Going back to Hidden Distance's post about fighting dirty, this is pretty much exactly what he was trained to do. Going for the throat, eyes, moves designed to kill and maim. That scares me.
I used to box a bit, but I only do so now for fitness. Outside of a gym though, the situation is entirely different. If I had to hit a girl, I'd just go for a liver shot and wind them. Not sure if I could bring myself to punch a girl in the face.
Also, some people have been saying, how they'd only hit them if they had a knife. If they have a knife, run away. I remember hearing of this proffessional karate champion, who'd just won a tournament. A drunk guy with a knife started a fight with him, and stabbed and killed him. Point being, even if you're trained, it's not worth the risk.
Well, in theory I agree with you but I'm a fairly big kid. I have alot of strength but not much speed so I don't have much choice when confronted. When girls have attacked me in the passed I just grab their arms and push them into sitting on the ground then move behind them and cross their arms over and hold them there until they chill the fuck out. That generally works. But I think if a girl started a fight with my girlfriend or somebody else that I love alot and just starting beating them really badly I'd wreck her without even thinking about the gender of the person. That sounds harsh but oh well.
So you respect women, but you think they're weak and not as capable as men? That seems highly contradictory.
That's stupid to say, The cold hard facts are that the average woman is weaker and less violently aggressive than men. It's just how people are. Respect has nothing to do with denying logic and facts. Fairly foolish statement if you ask me.

I'm the opposite, I was a featherweight til I was about 16, I now border on lightweight and light welterweight. I was taught to us efast footwork etc. ALthough generally I think it's always much easier to avoid confrontation that it is to get involved.
