Guide to Fighting

Here's my usual disclaimer, you will get punched, you will lose (well, not me) and you are not a pretty snowflake. This is just what I've learned from experience and from class. Remember, "Don't try to cut quickly, and don't try to cut powerfully, just try to cut" - Musashi, book of five rings

1) Don't fight if you don't have to, getting away unhurt is a victory as well.

2) If you know someone is coming after you, or they reach behind there back, hit them across the face, knock them out, toss them down a staircase if necessary. Once again, the answer isn't to hurt, it is to be unhurt yourself. I'd rather to explain to the principal why I hit a kid then why I got the shit beat out of me.

3) Honor = great, Cheap shot = saving you ass, which one do you want more?

4) Take a Karate class, preferably Kenpo, and learn your weapons and targets, it will all save you in the end.

5) If you can start with even the smallest advantage, a leg foreword, a hand already raised, seconds win wars.

6) One of the main ideas behind Kenpo is to make circular motions and elongate them, creating a more powerful strike.

7) You must be like the moon, unclouded and able to reflect (?).

8) Look high. Always look high.

9) They may have explosives, but I have an explosive temper.

10) I am up here, and you are down there, now who's the higher life form?

11) I apologize for my last "tips" they were, less then inspired. I now think that its appropriate for me to now pass on a story, that was told to me by a fellow martial artist who will make a great sensei one day. A father wanted to test to see how well his sons were progressing in their training, so he and his three sons go over to the fathers dojo, the father tells the three to wait in the dojo as he walks into an office in back. He balances a large vase on the top of the door. He calls the first and oldest son in, and as if he could sense it, he reached up and caught it. Content with the first one, the father calls the second son in, and the vase almost hits him, but he dodges to the left and catches it. The father resets the vase, and calls the youngest son in, the son is hit in the head with the vase, but slices it with lightning speed as it hits the ground. You are the third son, my friend said to me, and I started training correctly from there on out.
