| I don't know about you, but my main goal is | | | | |
| to stay safe (and yes, to keep my loved ones | | | | The attacker approaches. He (or she) is ready |
| safe and sound as well). | | | | to fight. To attack -- to get involved in a |
| | | | real street fight. |
| If I were with my family on the street and | | | | |
| someone attacked, then I don't think I'd have | | | | As the bad guy reaches you, I want you to |
| the option of running away. I'd have to stay | | | | assess the situation. Quickly. You are |
| and protect. This makes sense, right? | | | | looking for one main objective. Can you push |
| | | | or shove this person into something or over |
| Well, if I were alone ... it would be a | | | | something, or hard enough for you to ... you |
| completely different story. | | | | guessed it ... turn, and run away? |
| | | | |
| I could ... and would ... without hesitation | | | | [Still the main goal, eh?] |
| ... RUN AWAY! | | | | |
| | | | Taking the Street Fight to The Next Level |
| If there were any chance of me being | | | | |
| successful, I'd get out of the danger zone as | | | | OK, let's say the shove and run won't work. |
| quickly as possible. | | | | No chairs to push your enemy into. No lawn |
| | | | statues around. |
| No loss of face. No bruised ego. | | | | |
| | | | Maybe you have to take it to the next level? |
| I am a martial arts expert. My main goal is | | | | |
| not necessarily to parade my skills ... it's | | | | Could you kick your enemy's shin ... and then |
| to stay safe. (I feel the need to emphasize | | | | run away? |
| that point over and over again.) | | | | |
| | | | Maybe one solid punch and then an escape? |
| If the best way to stay safe is to escape ... | | | | |
| to run as fast as I can ... then I am out of | | | | If your goal is to stay safe, then your first |
| there. | | | | priority should always be to get to safety. |
| | | | Your ego can't get involved. And let me |
| I stay and fight, if I have to. | | | | guarantee, a true martial arts master would |
| | | | never hesitate to ... avoid a fight. |
