I couldn't care less about looking weak. I just want to be the one to walk away from the fight. Honour is massively overrated, the people you're fighting aren't going to be fighting with honour, why should you?

Yes, and if you lose by keeping your honour you keep the medical bills. With regards to people attacking me I'll take fear over respect anytime.

If you go to hit me, I'm assuming you want to hurt me. Depending on who you are and the danger I feel I'm in, I'll react accordingly. I react proportionally to the danger I'm in. If I feel I'm in no danger, I'll laugh at you and walk away, especially if you're some guy who's cut over a girl or whatever.. =p If I feel you can fight or hurt me, I won't hold back, I wanna try and drop you as fast as I can. There was a time if somoene did so much as even touch me, I would have unleashed. I'm more likely to take the fight to the ground in a one on one. Multiple attackers ? ANYTHING I can do to survive. In a one on one, I won't go for 'foul tactics' unless I feel I'm in real danger.

Well said Bon.
To Sin Style:
Warriors deserve respect; scumbags do not.
Like I said, to get in a fight with me, a person has to be a total dick so he deserves whatever he gets, although I agree with Bon's "appropriate use of force".
I do have a code of honor; I just don't share it with crackheads.

No cheating in a real fight.

I teach G.E.T.

Groin
Eyes
Throat.

Then GET out of dodge.

Again there is no such thing as chating. When you get in close, I'm also not oppossed to spitting in the persons face. A good distraction to get in that final shot!

This calls to mind an interesting Sanshou technique I saw done a while back. A groin grab called 'Gibbon Steals Fruit'. No, I'm dead serious. You can't halp but appreciate the Chinese for their morbidly poetic sense of humor.

I actually worked on what we call snake spitting one day in my American TAO class. We curl out tounge and spit for the eyes. Pretty nice. Bit gross but nice. No we did not aim at each other but the wall outside. LOL.

I have seen and was taught the Smash, Grab and Pull thing you refer to above and I do teach it.
