admin Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Based on how you describe it, there are up to a billion people who practice some kind of martial art. A lot of those are the slow moving type like Tai Chi, but they all have their origins in defense. Way back in the days of hunters and gatherers, ancient tribes did two things when they came in contact with one another. They would trade, or they would fight. In the Brazilian Rainforest, there lives a tribe called the Yanomami, which live more or less like our hunter gatherer ancestors. In those people, there is a strong correlation between kills and lays. Meaning the more people a guy kills, the more sex he gets. In most places, if somebody breaks into your home, you're legally permitted to use deadly force. If somebody tries to punch you in the face, you are within your legal rights to defend yourself. There's only been a scarce few days in the past few hundred years where there WASN'T some kind of armed conflict going on in the world. It seems that we humans have a ways to go before we leave our propensity to violence behind. Even Captain Kirk, who lived during a time of alleged "peace" when Earthlings put down their weapons and went out in space, knew how to throw down when it came time to. A long time ago I was going to a bar in a bad part of town. A high concentration of a certain ethnicity. My friend was of that ethnicity, I was not. This ethnicity was known for having vicious gangs who did vicious crimes. The reason we were going there was because the waitresses in that particular bar (of the same ethnic variety) were particularly gorgeous. I figured since I was with my friend, I would be safe. But right before we walked in, he looked and me and causally whispered: "It'd probably be a good idea if you don't make eye contact with anybody." Kind of ruined the mood! Danger is everywhere. Every town has a "bad part." And every society has built in laws that deal with physical violence. If somebody even touches you against you will, that could be grounds for a lawsuit. But words are unregulated. And as I'm sure you've experienced, (despite the "sticks and stones" nonsense) words can do permanent damage. Fortunately, just like there are TONS of ways to train in order to defend against physical attacks, there are ways to defend against verbal and emotional attacks. Defense, offensive, and downright dirty. Learn How: Weaponized Hypnosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
