[QUOTE="Krusyos, post: 634884, member: 7201"] My grandfather was an in-action Boston cop, and my great-grandfather on my dad's side was an Irish bare-knuckle boxer. My grandfather has had knives pulled on him and been attacked several times. He said to me "don't bother with that Asian bullshit. All that pirouetting and flailing around should stay in the movies. Learn how to throw a punch and how to take out his knees. That's it." My great-grandfather had similar advice, although he also instructed me to execute my opponents when I when I was finished. Probably shouldn't listen to that piece of advice if I want to keep my asshole only a few millimeters wide. The only time my life has been in danger is when a friend who I later learned had severe psychiatric issues pulled a knife on me. I basically just grabbed his hand and wrestled the knife out. Probably wouldn't work with a stronger guy, though. My uncle is a black belt in some discipline (I don't remember) and still has a bodyguard whenever he goes into a dangerous area in Mexico. I think the point is, KISS. If you want to work out, that's one thing. But don't pretend your glorified ballet is some master solution to all problems. Get a gun and knife, and if things get really hairy, just learn how to throw a bunch and take out his knees. [/QUOTE]
