What sort of martial arts do you practice in and why? Judo? Karate?
Educating yourself in self defence seems very useful especially if you live in parts of a country that might be rough.
I’d like to get into it myself but I can’t hear well, I can lip read however. Did some boxing when I was very young but it was only practice on training bags : )
Kung Fu students and masters alike, let me know your wisdom!
Yeah when I used to do Kung Fu that was how they taught it, more for fitness and they would always emphasise that in a fight, just run away. Even if you win a fight, you don’t know how badly the other person is going to get hurt, you could end up unintentionally killing someone etc. Just not worth it. They’d also teach stuff like if you’re surrounded and you can’t get away, how to open up a gap in the people and then use that to run away lol.
