Robsco, I think AA is calling your name, anyway, had a good talk with my sensei and he says it's my temper that controls my strength. And the point i was trying to put across sl is that when fighting some one that doesn't train, i could hurt them bad, i realised that this past week end when i almost broke my boyfriends shoulder. it wasn't funny, so I suggest those of you who have babes that do Ju jitsu: DO NOT RECIEVE PHONE CALLS FROM YOUR EX THEN TRY AND HID YOUR PHONE SO THAT THEY DON'T CHECK IT, THEN STILL TRY AND FIGHT FOR THE PHONE.....

Robsco 1319 posts	Tuesday 26th October 2004 at 20:22 Hey Sentinal, Play fighting with a boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't quite cut it, because they don't feel that much in danger.

Johnny Newbie 4 posts	Saturday 30th October 2004 at 11:28 I have been fighting all my life since a child.When i started Ju Jitsu in 97 my knowledge of fighting had been limited to street and pub/club confrontations. The majority of which i had handled myself pretty well.I started at a local British ju Jitsu club really if i am honest to enhance my fighting skills.(Mainly for the wrong reasons). Luckily Ju Jitsu has settled my aggression down. It has taught me maximum amount of respect not only for my Uki (training partner)and Sensei (teacher) but more importantly my opponent. I recall trainiing one evening. My Sensei demonstrated a throw- which on its own can be if needed, 'devastating'. For those who know Soto Maki Komi will agree. The end result you have Uki under the Sensei. The Sensei went on to say "From here we pause to think. How dangerous is your opponent. Can he kill or Maim you still? The next strike that i shall deliver at best will blind at worst will kill". I stopped to think of the position i would be in, happy to start a brawl with however wanted it in the pub, if the opponent was a practitioner of a martial art. The move itself is technical. The theory of the practise is very grounding on many levels. I class any martial art (especially Ju Jitsu) as a weapon. Any decent Jitsuka with any self respect should definately be wary of the knowledge that he or she possess. Take the 18 year old blade carrying youth. He may carry the blade in order to prevent the fight from happening. I.e saying "you come at me and i am going to stab yah" using it as a preventative measure. Until his confidence grows, knowing that he has a fight stopper in his armoury, he can do as he wishes. This is where the danger is. Over confidence. With this attitude and him relying on that Weapon be it a blade or our this case a martial art we cannot afford to not be scared of what we can do. For what we know and have been taught-another can ultimately be the Teacher. Keep safe. Johnny BJJA Johnny BJJA

However, for less fortunate individuals who may have some kind of physical impairment (thalydomide arms...?) it may be achievable. Small consolation under the circumstances. I was just trying to be equal ops.
