The way I was acting was mainly because NowThen kept saying I had no say in my posts. I kinda (sadly) meant to come off as an ass. I originally was pointing off how a simple shoe could provide enough distraction to ready myself so I could have a chance to defend myself.. which that NT replied saying he would charge me. Now honestly.. when someone charges you, when do you think "I'll throw my shoe at him!" You don't... So I pointed out that if he charged, I'd do a side kick. Then I merely asked him what he'd think about that. (although I do see that it comes off in a more asshole tone than I had intended) I did NOT on the other hand say that I would ask him how he felt if I actually did kick him. Heck, doing something like that in the states would make him pull out a gun if he was carrying one. The question was merely me trying to emphasize my counter to his, nothing more. Sorry if I explained that incorrectly before.

As with your cousin, yeah.. he got angered and just wanted a beat-down without actually sizing you up.. or from what it seems.. paying attention to you. I'm a small guy.. martial arts is merely a means to defend myself as I am not big enough to actually just throw punches (yes.. I could... which could maket them inflate their ego.. what with my size and all.. but I prefer some training).

Knowing how to fight gives me self confidence, but through everything that I've learned.. its one thing to be confident in your own abilities, but its an entirely different matter to be confident that you're going to stomp the competition( AKA Over-confidence).

Fighting? Not really.. Most people dont' bother as I get along with most, and others probably think I'm not worth their time as I'm not the most muscular.. again I have few enemies... most of them don't remain that way. I do realize though that outside of training.. yeah what can the other person do. Thats the main reason why I avoid physical blows. I never know when a guy is carrying...

If in a fight... I wouldn't be doing jumping or any of that.. one knock and I'd be screwed. I'd hold my ground and do my best. I'd definately be on the defensive for a while as to best size up what they can do... and even moreso.. what they LIKE to do. I'm more of a countering kinda guy. I won't initially throw the punch.. but what the other does help me figure out how I'll return the favor.

I haven't been in an actual fight, and I don't plan to. If I do though, I'm not stupid and I've learned from outside experiences. Further still.. even your experiences being told are yet another thing lesson to be reminded of.

No offense taken, man. I see how my post came off worse than I meant. Hopefully this clears things up.

(oh yeah, for the pop'eye kick.. I think I did a poor job describing it.. but its 10:30 am and I have yet to sleep and so this definately isn't a time to attempt to explain... but its pulled off relatively quick and is more powerful than a simple side kick. It doesn't really require any more space than any other kick would)
