Be careful to do so only in self defense.
Not just cuz the guy said something boneheaded.

Never seen a slow mo, choreographed fight before. My instructor (not aikido) taught me to go straight for the eyes, nose, throat, kidneys or balls. Don't think and pose, just do it

Kneecaps are fair game, too...

If I ever make it up to the level of touring musician, I am performing that if I ever play in Indiana.

Yes, there are a few spots to disable an attacker, kneecaps are handily placed.

Its a training video, not a fight, application is much faster. Been in Martial Arts since 1972, multiple styles. aikido is rather effective. Also posted more tongue on cheek.......yup, I'm to agitated to be here right now...likely was before I ever logged in....and the first repose to one of my posts that had an absurd referenced a Fascist Italian dictator didn't help....

Guys wearing dresses....intimidating.

yeah well.....I used to wear one of those hakamas

and yeah....it's considered a 'soft' martial art
but two minutes of getting tossed around would over work a Scot

how's your kilt do in combat?

oh that's right......you fart

Sexual assault, eh.

Any assault.
My targets also include solar plexus, knees, and shins. Basically anywhere open thats going to hurt (lots of people Ive noticee don't mind their lower extremities past their crotch. So much so that apparently a Medieval noble named his sword something like Foot Stabber/Footsbane/Footsomething to imply this guy stabbed a lot of feet with it).

Obviously.

If i retaliated because someone opened their mouth and **** came out I'd be in court twice a month.

Watch theirs hands/wrists and throat/cheeks. If the face flushes they are probably all hat and no cattle and won't get involved past a few words. If the hands flush they are getting ready to fight so get ready.

Chill, to much literary license in that response… never mentioned any of those people in any post I ever made on RF, never hinted at, inferred or included any of those names…..and Mussolini, seriously. It is an attempt to get an emotional response and garner supporters for your argument, and disrepute my post, based on an emotional response, not logical, all by throwing in a historical villain. Word of advice, go with Hitler next time, more people know him and more are incensed by the name than Mussolini. But ultimately it shows you have no real argument to make and you are hoping to make me angry so I will not think and answer logically.

So, let me clarify this for you in order to stop this type of silliness. Never said, mentioned or implied that Eisenhower, Reagan, Trump, Obama and Mussolini were all the same. But using those, to produce an emotional response (which stops actual thinking by the way) is exactly what politicians are doing today to widen the division. Biden had a speech recently, that although based on a real event, was loaded with much embellishment, and literary license that did not actually happen...torches...in daylight...really...., but it did create the emotional response he was after to widen toe divide .... although, IMO, he did it by standing on the coffin of the young woman who died in that event. Trump does the same by the way. Create division, fear, worry, and you get people to stop thinking because they are afraid. That is what throwing in names like Mussolini does as well, Hitler even more so (Also recently heard “Brown Shirts” that works to for creating that emotional response, for your future reference).

However, starting with Bill Clinton, the lines blur. (probably did before, I just was not paying attention) and currently they are all pretty much a pack of liars that have little to no concern for you, me or the country, beyond the vote they need for office. Everything else is simply their wallet and their power. Don't like or trust Trump, don't like or trust Biden or any other current politician on the political stage in the USA today. I work with a bunch of politicians, and they are all the same. political affiliation makes no difference. Was there to hear one answer the question "what if they don't vote for what we want" response "we'll tell them they did"

Look into the views of folks like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, or any other of the first few presidents on things political and things political parties (especially Washington on political parties) Read the Constitution and think about how much Republicans and Democrats are actually following it in Washington these days. Look into Ben Franklin’s vies of a republic….and allow me to end with…. I do believe Mussolini would be proud of your post count and your blitzkrieg of @Revoltingiest post count

I poked a bear with a stick and the bear responded with a swipe.
