Meditation ?

imho in a nowaday streetfight tai chi is useless. at least that tai chi what is taught to the general public. but then as our instructor says and I fully agree with him, the best defence is a handgun. mmmm, berettas are beautiful :m:
and I train not because of self defence, but because I think it's good for my body, inner and outer self
 
The irony of that is that nobody appreciates the "inner an outer self" behind a Beretta.
 
A handgun is irrelevent in a streetfight.
If you ever get in a 'streetfight' it will begin in close quarters.
"Hey, do you have the time" Bam on the ground and rolled.

Chuck Norris many years ago took the stand for a defendant in a homocide case as an expert witness. The defendant had shot an unarmed Karate guy. His defense was self defense. Prosecuter puts Chuck on the stand says 'how can you be a threat to me before I shoot you' He was many paces away(iirc 20'), gun in hand, uncocked, down by his side.
A demonstration ensued.
"Go"
Before the prosecuter could raise, cock, and aim his gun Chuck had his foot on the guys shoulder. The prosecuter said he wasn't ready. They did it again. Same results.
The defendant walked.
Justifiable Homocide.
 
In this city it is usually a dark street and some 5 or 8 people are on you. And sometimes there is a knife involved...
1. a handgun has a scare ability. shoot in the air, the legs, the rest will probably run.
2. a handgun can take down many before you get totally surrounded
There is no use of martial arts if you can not move a hand and your back is open to an atacker no matter what angle you take.

Besides drug users feel little to no pain and there are districts where most are such addicts. Of course, you can always break his legs, but it doesn't work if there are too many of them, besides you can get infected by aids or something.

A distanced takedown is the best.

I prefer Louis Armstrongs take on it ...

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah

peace

I suggest you sing it while walking through some of the areas over here. I already feel the lowclasses cheering up at the smell of a foreign tourist.
 
No, just common sense and pepper spray.
I don't go to such places at nights. Some of my friends live in extreme locations, so we always stay till morning behind the doors.

I hear you. I live in a rough area too. Doesn't mean I cant think of a wonderful world though and wish it were that way. I certainly have no intention of adding to the chaos with guns though, this is the reason for guns in the first place i.e. fear. I just stay out of trouble. Better to keep away from the trouble spots. Keep yourself to yourself. I'm sure you do really :)

I don't think you can distinguish "dangerous areas." I heard of people being attacked in the morning on the way to work; I use that walk every day to go to the beach in the summer, and it's right next to a hospital. And our robbers are always with weapons and kill even if people give them money. BTW, I think pepper spray is illegal to carry around here.
Not that my world isn't pretty :D And meditation helps keep it beautiful.
 
where is this thread going? doesn't anybody have input on mediation techniques and theories?
 
:rolleyes: Guilty :rolleyes:

I've answered your specific question earlier in thread regarding Iron board. I've asked many of my own. No answers. Aproppos for the subject matter, surely.

Internal peace in a street fight.
Everything slows down.
Senses expand.
Peripheral vision gains clarity.
No thought to action.
Leave. It's over.
