Rules for street fighting

I practice kung fu. I don’t have a lot of experience, but I practice hard and I study the movements, breakdowns, and philosophies as much as I can.
Anyhow, I have a friend who is a “street fighter”. He claims that this is his style. I never knew street fighting was considered a style, but I have been wrong before. Well, my friend and I were just messing around, kind of a 1/2 speed light contact sparring. We faced off, got into or respective stances and started to go at it.
My friend is probably twice my size, I am not very big, standing at 5’7". So I figured my longer weapons would be more effective to start. So my first combo was a soft roundhouse to the back of the knee, side thrust into the abdomen, and followed though to a punch in throat (light contact, barely even brushed him with any of it). He got mad and started going off on how street fighters don’t use kicks. I never realized there were rules for senseless violence in the street, so I asked him why. He stated that it isn’t a safe technique to use, and the last person who tried to kick him in a real fight almost got their leg broken. Personally, I have only been in 1 “real” fight, back in grade school. I have always gotten along with 99% of the people I meet, and the other 1% I just don’t converse with. However, even with my lack of fighting experience aside, I know for a fact that if it came down to a brawl in the street, I would use all of my weapons, not just stand there and try to throw punches with my short little arms. I would get pummeled. I realize it was his pride talking, but I thought it was funny.

Do you feel tougher now?

Is your cock noticeably larger or thicker from this experience?

Do more wimmins want to get with you now that you have super powers?

just curious.

It seems you should make him that 1% you dont converse with. KC

there are no rules in a fight… unless its a sport fight like an MMA or UFC bout, then there are rules. on the streets there is only action/reaction… do whatever works… bite, rip, tear, break, strike, kick, smash, etc, unless you can efectively defuse the confrontation before it happens. even if your opponent dies in the process you shouldn’t worry about… the shaolin believe that if someone attacks you with the intent to do physical harm and gets themselves killed in the process, it amounts to suicide, as you are simply redirecting their intent back onto themselves. :slight_smile:

In the prey mantis system there are 8 safe area to strikes and 8 none safe area to strikes. The teacher will teach the beginners only strike at those 8 safe striking area. But the teacher will teach the old students only strike those 8 none safe striking area.

In the SC system the teacher will teach the beginners how to finish a throw. But the teacher will teach the old students how not to finish a throw (doing throw 1/2 way).

In sport you want to follow the rules. In combat you want to break all rules.

There is only one rule of street fight that I know of: If its a fair fight, you’re doing something wrong.

We live in a society, there are rules everywhere, break them at your own peril.

depends on the situation and the parties involved.

i would treat some guy getting fresh on my lady differently then one attacking her.

this is going to sound stupid and corny, but personally i believe in honor. i have personal honor and there are just some things i am unwilling to do.

most will laugh at me, those with honor will understand.

Here is one example that a teacher teaches his students how to break the rules in sport.

then again, some of those who claim to have honor, still will not understand. :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;916476]We live in a society, there are rules everywhere, break them at your own peril.[/QUOTE]yet if one has a fear of breaking the rules, one becomes limited by his own fear.

Always has been.

Don’t see how its difficult to understand.

yet if one has a fear of breaking the rules, one becomes limited by his own fear.

Fear? how did you get there from what I wrote?
What would make you use that term?

[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;916489]Don’t see how its difficult to understand.[/quote]you’d be suprised.

You need to work on that my Padawan !

The word peril has to do with danger, risk, hazard, not fear. Meaning break the rules at your own risk.

[QUOTE=Lucas;916494]although im sure you understand more than you let on.[/QUOTE]whatever would make you say that? :smiley:

[QUOTE=Exadon;916496]The word peril has to do with danger, risk, hazard, not fear. Meaning break the rules at your own risk.[/QUOTE]of course… the world teachs us to be afraid of taking risks, especially risks that involve breaking the law, therefore people tend to fear the consequences of taking the risk, which could translate into being afraid. just because there is a rule or law, doesn’t mean that it is to be obeyed… restrictions are limitations and those ruled by limitations are not truly free. :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;916495]Ah, I see, you read Peril and thought fear.[/quote]not quite.

You need to work on that my Padawan !
don’t we all. :stuck_out_tongue:

Correct, fear should not be what governs Us to “follow societies laws and rules”.
