You guys are so bad.

At least you can do it with a smile.

LOL

Or is that a smirk?

Here's my opinion again.

My system teaches to kick ass by whatever means.

If you can punch them out safely you do it.

If you can break their arm to stop them you do it.

If you can choke them out you do it.

If you have a stick at hand you use it.

If you have a knife or gun you use it. (EDIT: Only if it is legal.)


Obviously a warrior is gonna have to learn a wide range of skills to cope with changing enemies and situations.

You can only train to face the reality you precieve. It is reality fighting we are talking here. We aren't talking about the ring, where there are rules.

So inherently, anything goes. Only ego and honor hold you back. Right?

The thing being, that you cannot really go out and legally test reality fighting. So inherently, a lot of it is under the assumtion that what workd in the ring should work on the street. Or what was written about hundreds of years ago will also work as well or at all.

Here and there, you find a soul that has had an unfortunate enough life to have had plenty of occasions to test their fighting skill for real.

Me, I'll fight just becasue someone wants to fight. But that's just me. Call me romantic or stupid. I think there is something to this alpha male thing. Some people need a lesson and will only get it when a single soul makes the effort to teach them.

Sometimes all it takes is standing up. Sometimes you ahve to beat them.

I don't think all people should even try this. I'm just an asshole that way.

I know there are a lot of tough guys out there with less skill than me that I can test things out on. I know they are what I must guard against anyway. Every once in a while I find someone that is pretty good. Then II get bruised and battered..

Been worth it so far. Scars and all.

But in reality it has taught me that you will face all kinds of things. All kinds of situations. Sure you can't train and test all those things. Mother nature is always coming up with new ways to test us.

But you can train for the threat you precieve.

To me that is basic striking:

Kicks
Punches
Elbows
Headbutts
Knees
Stomps

Basic grappling:

Avoiding the Takedown
Takedowns
Releasing yourself from various grabs, locks and chokes
Utilizing various grabs, locks and chokes.

Whatever else you can learn.

That is a reality fighting system to me.
