I agree with darksoul, good post. An overwhelming force can overwhelm the one performing it.

You can stop it by a stronger force, evade the force, redirect the force, change levels from the path of the force but once the force connects it will be to late.

Tuck and roll. To quote the genie from Aladdin "You would be surprised what you can live through."

Seriously though, my general method of dealing with any force is to make sure it is not being directed at me whenever possible. This can include stepping off line of an attack, avoiding a co-worker who is angry, or simply NOT picking a fight with my GF that night. I just don't think my pride and ego are worth the hassle and injury of arguing with people most of the time.

hehehehe I love the 'shoot it...twice' answer that's the best.

I've always been taught and I still hold it a true mind set today: Fight the man not the grade!

If you must fight win!
If you can defuse the situation do so.
Don't run at the first chance, this only empowers them.
Do not lash out...
You give reason, courage, desire and the moral high ground to your would be attacker to attack you instead.

Accept there are 'animals' out there in this world who can and will beat you...one of them might be the guy on the mat/in the ring in front of you, give no reason for them to prove it.
