Fighting Competently: Anticipation, And Remember It's In His Eyes Identification Number: 465 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: As for guessing from the eyes of your opponent what happens next, indeed you can do that - and with an amazing degree of precision.   Though I agree that one needs to have a considerable experience.   But when you say that when fighting you cannot fathom what's coming by looking into the eyes of your opponent because fighting is not "falling in love", I think that you may have misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that it's in his kiss - I said in his eyes.   I am not fantasizing, and I am not staring into the eyes of my opponent because i find him handsome... I do that because I can know with precision that whatever he is trying to conceal, it is going to be leaked and betrayed right there.   It has once been written that «nothing is more obvious in a man than what he tries to conceal»: whatever he may be trying to conceal is gonna be released exactly from his eyes.     Unfortunately, that is a somewhat "esoteric" knowledge that you won't retain after your initiation: if you quit fighting (w... read more: click here Visitors: 419 Tagged by its author as: Advice: Martial Arts and Self Defense This author also has a Blog Aikido For Dummies: The Incomplete Idiot's Guide To Aikido Identification Number: 437 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: 1. «Since ancient times the room where sword fight is practiced has been named: The Place Of Illumination» (Eugen Herrigel)   Well, be indulgent with my English, I'm no native speaker.     I personally find myself more comfortable with G*'s and M*'s outlook - however there is a level where some degree of synthesis, perhaps, may be attained.     Lee says he is certain that his perspective is the right one, because so (no less) he "has been told".     The fact is: what we are told is immaterial, because what matters is not what we have been told, but what we make of it.   Christ or a Buddha can tell us the most beautiful parable, and yet we may understand it not.     So, I guess, this may somewhat apply to L*'s positions too - he is saying things that don't make much sense to some of us (or at least, not when stated in that fashion): yet, also in this case what he is saying can find its value by ... read more: click here Visitors: 7,570 Tagged by its author as: Advice: Martial Arts and Self Defense This author also has a Blog Jack Dempsey On The Difference Between Boxing And Street Fist Fighting Identification Number: 397 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: Chapter 5: Differences Between Fist-Fighting and Boxing Anger provides the No. 1 difference between a fist-fight and a boxing bout.     Anger is an unwelcome guest in any department of boxing. From the first time a chap draws on gloves as a beginner, he is taught to "keep his temper"-never to "lose his head." When a boxer gives way to anger, he becomes a "natural" fighter who tosses science into the bucket. When that occurs in the amateur or professional ring, the lost-head fighter leaves himself open and becomes an easy target for a sharpshooting opponent. Because an angry fighter usually is a helpless fighter in the ring, many prominent professionals-like Abe Attell and the late Kid McCoy- tried to taunt fiery opponents into losing their heads and "opening up." Anger rarely flares in a boxing match.     Different, indeed, is the mental condition governing a fist-fight. In that brand of combat, anger invariably is the fuel propelling one or both contestants. And when an angry, berser... read more: click here Visitors: 11,633 Tagged by its author as: Advice: Martial Arts and Self Defense This author also has a Blog Defensive Use of Firearms: Out-of-Home Defense. By Anonymous Author. Identification Number: 363 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: Just as in home defense, the first idea is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. By this, one should stay out of trouble, or situations that might lead to trouble. For example, if you are in the middle of a heated argument over a parking space, give it up. How did you get in such an argument in the first place? It's not worth it. Don't worry, you're not a "wimp."     If somebody calls you scumbucket, or whatever, don't take the bait and fight. Don't feel that you must "defend your masculinity" or demonstrate how "tough" you are.     Maintain your car and be sure that it will not break down in a bad neighborhood. (Try to stay away from bad neighborhoods, in passing.) Always leave 1-2 car lengths in front of you when you stop. That way, you may have room to manuver and get out. Your car windows should be rolled up and doors locked. Do not leave valuable things like a purse on the front passenger seat, as somebody can "smash and grab"---keep it on the floo... read more: click here Visitors: 11,392 Tagged by its author as: Advice: Martial Arts and Self Defense This author also has a Blog
