It is known that a majority of martial artists will
try and avoid physical confrontation at all costs. They will never start a
fight but if pushed against a wall they will surely be there to see that they
bring it to a convincing conclusion.
The reason, according to me is, one: Since they
know of the damage that they can cause-these guys are trained with a keen eye
on putting your pressure points on the crosshairs- They would rather skip a
fight than risk wasting time in law courts or even spending time with the filth
in prison, they have better things to do like washing their gi, folding the hakama, or learning a new way of tying the obi….. see, not worth a second of your
time.
Two: most of
the time you may not be able to recognize a martial artist by just his/her
looks… unless you have trained eyes. The average guy you see on the street, not
bulky, thick necked, scars all over etc may be the guy you never want to mess
with. Trust me; I have seen a petite man bring down a potential Mr. Universe.
Unless a practitioner is what the Japanese refer to as Kuchi Buchi or a mouth warrior who yaps to anyone who shows some
interest on what a great aikidoka, karateka, judoka or whatever he is, most
will go unnoticed.
With this in mind, a martial artist will try avoid
a physical confrontation, for he may not know who s/he is dealing with. He
might just be messing up with a shihan
(master instructor).
With that in mind ladies and gentlemen, boys and
girls I came across a great video clip stressing on my second point….You just
never know who you messing with!!
