I love martial arts. They make me feel confident and strong. But I really hate fighting. I have no desire to hurt people IRL. I follow this method and it's refreshing to see a video encouraging it.
I tell my middle school students just because somebody calls you a name or talks about it doesn't give you the right to hit him or her. Sometimes, you have to walk away. I explain to them that they are not going to be teenagers for the rest of their lives. Once you become an adult and hit someone for calling you a name . You are going to jail and lose your job, home, and family. Everything that you work hard for goes down the drain. However, I said to them if someone puts his hands on you, then you have every right to defend yourself in a street altercation.
Bow. I prefer to avoid any further interaction (like, ''where did you buy it'' or ''let me buy you a drink'') because I fear that I may make more mistakes the longer the interaction goes. I really think its best to excuse and get out or stop the interaction at least. Thoughts on how to do that effectively?
Yes maybe communicate a good statement or 2 and don’t drag it further then it needs to go but make the interaction still seem genuine and full. Then leave when the right moment arrives if needed. As he says in the video sometimes even one statement will end the whole Thing.
Man I would just say, "well I gotta get going, have a good one" and if you got a tab open, fuck it just put some Cash on the bar (enough obviously) and get the fuck out, dont even wait for the bartender
Some of the best life lessons ever. Still point people to this and use it as a reference
Some of the best advice you'll ever get. Street fights are never worth it.
a speech like that separates a good fighter from a master. inspiring.
Spot on. Control the ego, avoid the fight

True. Some people can take anything the wrong way.

love this lesson and would recommend a book called "Verbal Judo: the Gentle Art of Persuasion" written by George Thompson
Michael Powers that book talks in circles. No real patterns. U have to make ur own. Or pay for his similar
well if the book isnt your cup of tea theres also a ton of youtube videos with George elaborating on the topic. i enjoyed the newer ones myself
Michael Powers and here's something to look up. Ross Jeffries patterns explained PDF. Ull find scripts on verbal persuasion
Hi Robert, I work for SPORTbible and we love this video. Would we be able to post it to our social channels with a credit to you?
