Question

Do you ever fantasize about using your martial arts skills against some random thug?

Answer 1

Haha I'd be lying if I said I hadn't imagined sorting out my wee bro's bullies...

Answer 2

I wouldn't.

What if they have a gun.

Martial arts is not going to protect me from bullets with 100% certainty. Lol.

Answer 3

Thats mainly beginners, who are so excited about learning. As you learn more, you learn there are more risks, and its just not worth your time.

Answer 4

i would like in rush hour 1 and 2

Answer 5

all the time, i think most martial artists do. someone told me once that if you're thinking about training, then you are training. it's good to go over ur techniques and different scenarios in your head. just don't let it get too out of hand with the movie kung fu type techniques that wont work for real lol

ironically, attackers with a gun are what i visualize the most. there are ways martial arts might overcome a gun.

robert 'sugar' crosson once said he could stop a bullet. when asked how he could do that, he replied that he could in a sense stop a bullet by not allowing the situation to escalate to the point where the person wants to shoot him in the first place.

even if diplomacy fails, there are ways of dealing with a gun weilding assailant. but it's an all or nothing thing.
