Comment on Prepping a Student for a Fight! by morgothan

Its true that the more lethal the fight, the less appealing it is. This is why as I said I kind of envy it the high school fights, because as you said there is no real threat of lethality. Before a fight can reach that point it will be broken up, or someone will run away. In the real world it is much much different. I for one would not want to go to a bar and get into a fight, I would get to find out what works and what doesn’t, but the chance of real injury to not only myself, by my opponent, and anyone else standing around is far to great. Also in high school once the fight is over, it is usually over. In the real world, next time that guy sees you, he may have a gun.

Fighting loses its appeal as the weapons used (human or otherwise) become more and more lethal. I just can’t seem to get my students to realize that fighting can end VERY poorly. In high school, no one really knows how to fight, but in the real world there are people who would demolish you. I typically think of one of my hothead students picking a fight with our former Judo sensai. They’d be lucky if they ended up in the emergency room.

I assure you, Joe is wiser for it. You did him a favor.

Good luck man! Egypt must be awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing the Dragon-Phoenix video; I’ve never seen anyone do it except for Tim just playing around. Is it really as long as springing leg? Can’t wait to learn it!
