"I replied, what if I were not his target, but I was trying to protect something, to disable him before he could get to someone I love?" In such a situation, walking away doesn't work.
As for being well-rounded, "This is why I prefer Jujitsu. Jujitsu being the foundation of Aikido, it has defenses to the same type of attacks that aikido does, as well as some striking for when necessary and lots of grappling and solid throws." Jujitsu also teaches use of pressure points. Still, as I've said, I'd like to learn kung fu or tai chi in order to be even more well-rounded. |
