A street-fight rarely brings about anything good, regardless of the outcome. Any martial artist who ‘looks’ for fights is not a real martial artist. Fighting should always be the last resort, not the first. To not fight when you can – this is the higher ground. Knowing how to hurt a person, but choosing not too.
.
The person who really knows how to fight is the person that is able to walk away. But sometimes in life it is imperative to defend yourself, you have to hit back, whether physically or with words. When you have no choice, hit them harder than they have ever been hit before!
