Ok yall. I just learned a few things. One Diamond Pete you definitely opened up my eyes with your description of a strike and a joint lock, and how it can either be violent or less so. AND LMAO at your first comment. HAHAHA Awesome.
As far as killing people. I hope I do what's right when the time comes. I just want to be able to be a little less worried while walking around, and also be able to intervene if I ever need to, although, I admit, that the obsessive compulsion to intervene is very close to my need to prove myself, validate, and win the love of others. So, you are right, Aoife, non violence is in the heart, and I'm aware of how I should be, but until I reach excellence and the level of humbleness I want, I'd really rather be armed with the ability to defend myself, against injury or just, I hate to say it, but injured pride, yet my end goal remains solid; the goal to someday be truly humble, is why I ask for a non violent way, to protect myself, yes, but to also vent. So okay fine I admit it's a violent urge. Damnit, but I still don't want to hurt anyone, too much.
Bytsi, what you say about the placement of a kick, like above the knee to make them limp, rather than at the knee. That is the control I want. I want to be able to do both, depending on the situation.
If 8 people are coming at me with knives, obviously it will use up too much of my energy to put them all down in less violent (less injuresome) ways.
LOL at rex kwon do.
Diamond Pete. What MA are you in? I want someone that can teach hard and soft as well. Do I need to take ground classes seperately as well?
3 years? That's a fantastic time frame. Thank you. Nothing to do but to do it right?
