How to Lose a Fight and still come up on top!
The Situation:
You hate this guy. You want him to suffer and you want to look like the hero doing it. Beating him up will only make you seem like a jerk even though you’re cool like me. So what do you do? How do you screw him over without making yourself look bad.
The Idea:
Picking a fight with him and beating him up will not work in your case. So the idea is to make him pick a fight with you. Get on his nerves. Start by doing the same thing your target does but disagree with him. For example, if your target likes being the center of attention, you be the center of attention and make sure you stump him or shut him down after everything he says. The trick is to be as annoying to HIM as possible without making it seem like you’re annoying everybody else. It’s tough to do, but with practice i think it should work. For those of you who have read, “The Game”, try ‘neg’-ing him. A neg is a great way to slowly get on his nerves. Occasional comments where the target is not sure whether you’re joking or not is another great thing to try.
Taking the hit: (here’s the actual meat)
ok so here’s the martial arts part of the blog. Learning to take a hit. When you’ve started the fight (make sure they have no weapons) the most important thing to do is to protect the vital areas. Duh~. Incase you don’t know, the most important areas include your crotch, face, head, neck, chest, knees. – Pretty much everywhere i teach my students to strike right off the bat in any engagement. Practice shifting your weight and body position to absorb the hit (go with the flow). A pretty good drill i do is to just practice taking soft hits at 3/4 speed and moving with them. When you’re getting hit directly against a joint practice turning into or away from it (depend on the joint). Also remember glancing blows don’t hurt as much.
