 < this smiley face is pretty intimidating. I am going to do that the next time I get picked on..
j/k.. serious moment, I am only 5'9" and I was picked on all through school. I weighed 116 and was 5'3" my sophmore year.. Like I said I am only 5'9" now. I wanted to be huge and was obsessed with body building for like 5 years, and after that I thought I was tough as nails and got put in my place.. and I deserved it. I only weigh 170 but my friends say I am probably the most intimidating one in the group.. I am always usually quiet and calm. they said that is what usually bothers them the most..? |

well i dont know if you would call this intimidation, but i always look into my opponents eyes and i will move my hands in a sort of mysticaly slow way before i strike to make my opponent confused (this doesnt always work by the way)

The only time I have heard of being intimidated by a kiya was when my first Taekwondo master, heard Grand Master Dong Geun Park practicing forms when he thought there was no one around. Apparently, it sounded like a sound that could only come from a wild animal. That would be something to hear.
Personally, I'm not an easily intimidated person, but I also don't try to intimidate opponents. It doesn't seem like it's worth it. That basically makes it sound like I'm lazy haha.

| Well, I don't know about 'never'. Intimidating an opponent can be an excellent alternative to fighting. Someone who has decided to fight can be 'persuaded' to change their mind by intimidation tactics. That seems to me to be ethically superior and an appropriate use of the tactic. |

Yes, I think that you make a good point here. If you can get things to change without resorting to physical violence, then all the better.
