Well, I'll agree about the kicks. But at least in my "spinoff" style (Tang Soo Do) there were a lot of other aspects that were there to be studied, though, and one could become pretty proficient at anything from taking minimal damage in a serious altercation, to maming and killing attackers fairly quickly with some level of ability and practice.

The best defense is usually to run away. Seriously. It's not "being a pussy" to be saving yourself from any possibility of damage, and sparing the future health of your would-be assailant. When that's TRULY not an option, you're probably in a spot to mame or kill anyhow.

And if they have a gun and aren't in striking distance, you're usually [censored] unless they don't know how to aim. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
