i thought this was all pretty cool - not necessarily necessary but pretty cool nonetheless, and it does actually have some legit MA applicability

and anyway, jedi warriors are just pretty cool in general, so this is a yes

you can see the mental wheels turning before it happens
"leave it alone its not worth it"
"bullsh+t these people have no right to treat people this way"

"think about what you are doing, these are not the people to mess with. i cant help you if you do this"

"look you dont have to help me, just let me do what im going to do"

so the recurring themes in the videos of those who "win" are moving around, not getting surrounded, and being very direct and aggressive - rather than choosing to be afraid they are choosing to be someone to be afraid of

as musashi would say "you must research this diligently"

also if you are a woman and your dude gets into a fight the only reason you should get anywhere near the action is to restrain or cause harm to the other people

you will get him murdered if you try to restrain him

if youre not fighting you should be on the phone with the police

also in the above videos id like to point out that in virtually every case it was the ability to punch someone in the face that made the difference

even when any kind of wrestling was used it only worked well if no one else got involved or if it was used to put someone down and to get up quickly

for those purposes wrestling and grappling seems to be important and useful but a prolonged wrestling match or ground fight does not work well in the videos ive found when the other person has friends

i dont even remember all the videos i posted lol but i watched a lot

wrestling and ground fighting never ever helps in a multiple attacker situation that i have seen but several times they have cost someone the fight

also a lot of people are saying "use the muay thai clinch" when facing multiple people but i havent found any video evidence that this works

mostly what i see is people winning when they punch and/or slap people in the face accurately, quickly, and forcefully, and keep moving

and i shouldnt have singled out women in the above post: if youre not fighting dont touch anyone who is fighting

stay out of the way even if the person youre with is wrong - blocking their view or holding them back only makes it easy for someone to hit them or even stab them

during the course of a human life it becomes necessary to make certain agreements with ourselves about ourselves and about the nature of life and our role in it

some of these agreements are healthy and useful - some are not
many have been made without realizing what was happening and what its implications would end up being

the following are from a book called "the four agreements" by miguel ruiz

he speaks rather esoterically but what he says makes sense and more importantly it is functional
i can tell you honestly that this book helped change my life

the agreements are

be impeccable with your word

dont take anything personally

dont make assumptions

always do your best

these concepts are absolutely mandatory for cultivating the warrior spirit
every military and every warrior society has some expression of these concepts

these are audio readings by peter coyote of

the dream of the planet
30 minutes and explains the context he uses to express the rest of the ideas
