Not trying to offend any women here but I%26#039;m curious..
Since it is ok for women to hit men in the private area(groin) out of self-defense, is it ok for men to do the same? Is it ok for men to hit women in the private area out of self-defense also? Or would it consider %26quot;sexual assault?%26quot;|||Like Wendy says ---- Yes, if it%26#039;s necessary and the perceived level of threat warrants it. Kick away. If you feel that your life could be in danger, do what is necessary.
But I believe that striking a woman in the busters is a lot more effective than going for the vagina area. Women are different. (BTW, be sure to wear a kevlar codpiece to protect your balls.)
But, better still, it would be better if men and women didn%26#039;t fight at all.|||Try it|||If it is needed in self defense, although it wouldn%26#039;t have much effect.|||Why are you, and so many others on GWS fascinated by the idea of women kicking guys in the groin, and men hitting women in the privates?
It%26#039;s not okay for ANYONE to hit ANYONE in the privates!
Got it, now?|||Of course. If a woman attacks you, do whatever you can to stop her.|||Self defense, is self defense but, if you want to risk your chances and hit a woman in her private area? You%26#039;d better hope she%26#039;s not pregnant and pray that the result of your blow does not cause her to have a miscarriage.
As they say on Judge Judy, %26quot;don%26#039;t take matters in your own hand, you take them to court.%26quot; lol....|||The question is entirely too general to give an answer that will fit all situations.
In some instances, yes, a man must protect himself, just like any person. However, I have to reiterate that the circumstances dictate the answer.|||If his life is in danger and he%26#039;s being overpowered by her and is in danger of losing the battle and his life, then . . .
Wait a minute. This is a ridiculous question. He%26#039;s certainly justified in defending himself, but a swift kick to the groin will not disable a woman like it disables a man. If he does, will he then dance around and congratulate himself on his cleverness? Did you get this off one of your angrylittleboy blogs? A woman would use this last-ditch tactic to disable her attacker if her life were in danger, and run away.
It%26#039;s not the same thing.
And you ARE trying to offend people. You always try.|||lol guns...lovin the headgear. in self defense all is fair and i can tell you from experience it is maddeningly painful.|||It was depend on the situation if the women are to much and very nugger and never stop then i say Yes its Ok to hit it.
Or when men patients are full it was ok for me infact it was my experienced already.
I hit my Girl friend in the bathroom when we are having fun.|||actually guns..its not actually ok ...
but in self defense we do happen to remember in a moment of panic where to hit you to bring you down.
and this is rather helpful if the man happens to be much stronger than the women and is beating her..
when women do this in self defense it may just be a last ditch effort to save her own life..
and since men are actually stronger if he must defend himself most likely hitting a woman in the privates wouldnt even be neccessary really.
more than likely if a man hits a woman he is more than likely to knock her out and may even break her jaw..
but if a woman hits a man more than likely she probably wont knock him out...( unless she knows exactly where to hit and is strong enough) and most likely will just anger him. Thus we go back to that moment of panic that woman experiances and the reason she would most likely hit a man in the groin.
its just common sense.|||ya if they do it first, in self defense or to not be imbarrased and get them back....yes...though I would just sue her....but if you do hit her it%26#039;s justified and it hurts them just as much
I posted a video of a girl getting punched in the VAG and she was all kinds of hurting|||It%26#039;s all based on the context, just as it would be in the case where the man was hit. If it%26#039;s really meant for self defense, then it wouldn%26#039;t be considered sexual assault. However, due to the comparative lack of exposure of female genitalia, it would make little sense to use that as a defensive move.|||Which private area are you speaking of? I mean, if you slammed a car door on my boobs that would definitely hurt like hell. Then again, kicking me in the nether-region may be painful too. I think just demanding that I have a mammogram is bad enough. Would you like your pp squashed between two plexi-glass plates? I think not. Oh wait, self-defense. Dude. Don%26#039;t y%26#039;all just slap us? Why go for private parts?|||Yes, absolutely.|||Yes, if it%26#039;s necessary and the perceived level of threat warrants it. Kick away. If you feel that your life could be in danger, do what is necessary.
Ya know, it%26#039;s just really hard to take you seriously, much less be %26quot;offended,%26quot; when you sound like Tonto from The Lone Ranger...I can%26#039;t help but giggle.
EDIT-And poor Daniel B sounds he%26#039;s had a severe brain injury. Tsk, poor thing!|||I guess, if she%26#039;s assaulting you, but wtf would that do? You do realize the effect would not be the same as hitting a man in the privates? I don%26#039;t want to sound chauvinistic, but I really doubt too many men will have to resort to hitting women in their private areas out of self defense.|||The chances that a groin hit is the most effective way to stop a female attacker is pretty slim. Most men don%26#039;t use groin hits on each other in a real self defense fight, because an attacker is going to minimize that target without thinking about it.|||Get your a%26amp;%26amp; to the slammer.|||If shes tough enough to hit shes tough enough to get hit. Thats where I stand.|||It doesn%26#039;t hurt nearly as much for a woman to get hit there so it wouldn%26#039;t be as good a self-defense move as hitting her in the eyes.|||I hope so|||Sexual assault is where someone is forced, coerced or tricked into sexual acts. It can also include being exposed to sexual situations against a person%26#039;s will. Sexual assault can include rape, incest, indecent assault, child sexual assault and sexual molesting. Taking that indecent assault, which includes being kicked in the privates, yes it is sexual assault.|||If it%26#039;s really self defense, anything goes.|||the only time a woman should over power you is if you%26#039;re looking down the barrel of gun. then you%26#039;re probably screwed. so you shouldnt get into a posistion where the need to hit a girl. i personaly believe that you should never hit a girl. no matter what. maybe grab her by the arms or something if she%26#039;s hitting you or there%26#039;s violent behavior, but never hit. i view women with high respect even though i might comment on their looks and areas of their body but hey, i%26#039;m a guy.

How do I learn self-defense quickly?
So I wasn%26#039;t attacked, but there%26#039;s a gang in my neighborhood, so I just want to be prepared. Friend advised me to learn Krav Maga, but there%26#039;s no school in my country to attend to. So is there any webpage that I can learn Krav Maga quickly and free.

Do physical exercises to make your body strong, harden your hands and arms etc for blocks, learn chokes, learn graples and folds. Learn throws, kicks and chops. Do not demonstrate. Do not exhibit. Neither your body nor the skills. Keep these steps in mind. Seek a Master and learn. Practice, practice, and practice. All defense techniques can be converted to offfense techniques.

Are steel shot shells (shotgun) good for self-defense?
Local retail stores do not carry birdshots heavier than #4 with lead, all heavy shots are steel (waterfowl). Can you use them for self-defense? How do they compare to lead shots? I am not asking about toxicity issues in water animals/birds|||For self-defense go with buckshot. Just make sure you kill your attacker, with the way the laws are going you might be sued for lead poisoning if they live.|||Heck, I have a hard time killing ducks with steel shot. And I%26#039;m not the only one, that%26#039;s why you%26#039;ve seen the surge in non toxic shot out there. And that%26#039;s on a measly duck, not a 200 lb pissed off intruder. That being said, I wouldn%26#039;t want to take a 3 1/2%26quot; shell of t shot to the chest.

You should be using buckshot. 00 or 000. You will only find those in lead, not steel.

If a handgun is registered in PA and Used for Self Defense in Your Apartment In NYC what is the Penalty?
If a handgun is registered in PA and used for self defense in your apartment In NYC with a PA permit, but w/o a NYC permit, what is the penalty or case studies? Basically in PA you would not be in the wrong by any means to shoot and kill an intruder and it would be completely legal to defend your property.

Even if you are traveling with the gun, you need to find out what the laws are in each state so you don%26#039;t get yourself in trouble.
I worked with a Sgt who always did that because each state is different. In Ohio, they had to have their weapon with them 24 hours because they were always on duty (for felonies and some misdemeanors). Other states don%26#039;t allow that.
Call the police department and find out what is required in order to get it registered in NYC. You don%26#039;t want to just %26quot;drop it off%26quot; because you may never see it again.

Make sure your name and address are on the paperwork, too.
If you have paperwork from PA, take that with you to show you have registered it elsewhere and are the legal owner. Also take your receipt of purchase. Do not turn those papers in with the gun. If they want copies to put with it, they should have a copy machine so wait and get your originals back.
Make sure you get a phone number and find out how long they will hold it (especially if it%26#039;s safekeeping) before they would dispose of it. Where I worked, if people didn%26#039;t claim their property in 90 days, we could dispose of it.
Our requirement for registration was to take the weapon, unloaded and in a box, to the Detective Bureau where they recorded the information and owner%26#039;s name. While there, check to see what the law says about carrying the gun and if you can carry a concealed weapon or not.
Some places issue a permit and allow people to carry a concealed weapon, some issue permits to have a weapon but not carry them concealed so find out where you need to get that paperwork ~ they may issue them at the time while you are there with the weapon.

Laws vary from state to state. But, the above conditions stand in all states. If a woman grabs a man%26#039;s testicles in self-defense, that is not considered to sexual assault. But, %26quot;groping%26quot;, stroking, licking, attempting to insert objects into bodily orifices ect. during a struggle would get sexual assault charges added to whatever else the moron ends up in jail over. You%26#039;d be amazed at how many men stupidly end up in prison for five year terms for sexual assault after a woman slaps them, for example, and who whine their heads off that it was part of their code of chivalry related to %26quot;self-defense%26quot; against a woman. Men need to get the message out there loud and clear that being attacked by a woman does NOT give the victim any RIGHTS to molest her or rape her or aggress back except with minimal force unless one%26#039;s life is endangered or one cannot escape. When attacked, slapped, slugged, kicked, whatever, back off, call the police and send that person to court.

How This Can Change Self Defense Into A Crime%26#039;
%26quot;It is a common belief that if you injure someone during the course of defending yourself that you are safe from prosecution. In reality, this is not the case. There is a fine line between self defense and assault and knowing where that line is could safe you a large fine and some serious jail time.
This fine line is called excessive force. During the course of defending yourself you cannot use force greater than what it takes to stop the attack. Where this line is drawn depends greatly on what state you are in, the type of attack, the victim and the attacker. There are so many variables that it often becomes hard to define what is self defense and what is a counter attack.
A safe general guideline would be only do what it takes to stop the attacker and get away from them. If you are at a nightclub and someone hits you, it is safest to walk away from the incident as opposed to hitting the person back. If the person follows you and continues to attack you, it then makes it necessary to hit back in order to stop the attacker. Often people think in this situation that if they are hit first and retaliate, they will legally be off the hook. Not so, at the very least you will both be charged with disorderly conduct.%26quot;
So I%26#039;ve spelled it out for you S-L-O-W-L-Y.

Is it still self-defense if an illegal weapon was used?
If somebody killed somebody to save their own life (was being robbed, mugged, raped, etc.) but used an illegal weapon (illegal switchblade [in some states], machete, gun bought off the streets, etc.) would it still be self-defense?
I assume the defensee (word I made up, the person who killed in self defense) would still get the weapons charges, but would they still get manslaughter or murder?
Also, this might seem farfetched, but what if you run a red light, are speeding, or some other traffic violation, to run over a guy with his gun aimed at you?|||Self-defense could apply in both instances, provided you have the evidence and witnesses to prove that you were in a position and circumstances where you had to defend your life.

What are some Black Belt/martial arts/self-defense misconceptions you've encountered?
I%26#039;m doing an essay called %26quot;Black Belt Myths%26quot; and I already have a few ideas but I would like to get some input from other martial artists. (non-martial artists are always welcome to answer, too.)
So far, the ones I%26#039;ve got down are:
-Being a black belt makes you invincible.
-The sole purpose of martial arts is to transform you into a killing machine.
-___________ is the best martial art ever invented.
-___________ is better/crappier than ___________.
Pretty obvious stuff, as you can see, but I%26#039;d like to expand it more and try to cover the most common %26quot;myths%26quot; about martial arts, especially pertaining to fighting and self-defense.
And please do NOT tell me stuff like %26quot;Muay Thai is the best system for fighting%26quot; and %26quot;I could kick any TKD dan%26#039;s butt any day.%26quot; If you%26#039;re not going to be objective, don%26#039;t bother answering.
Thanks to all who answer.
(I%26#039;ll probably ask this again later to get more answers from more people so don%26#039;t be surprised if you see this question again.)|||my fasvorite is %26quot;hand registered as lethal weapons%26quot; (if my put my hands in my pockets is that a concelled weapon) thats a funny one and my responce when people ask me
another favorite is %26quot;i have a black belt I know everything in which ever art%26quot; no one no knows everything in the art unless you the perosn who invetnted it
%26quot;Black belt makes me a good fighter%26quot; not really the art you study will help you but the belt is self has no magic your not any better with or with out it its a rank does not mean much compared to ecperience
%26quot;I got my black belt in a shorter time then you did so i am better%26quot; no maybe your dojo makes it easier to recieve a balck belt|||well a couple of questions i used to get asked when i was teaching -can you fly %26amp; can you run up walls?haha by kids obviously.theres so many misconceptions it would take all day to list.
EDIT%26gt;the give a warnings stuff.only a fool would give a warning,if you warn them and then hurt them youve already admitted your guilt.|||Practicing martial arts will make you healthier.
Traditional martial arts don%26#039;t work in the street.
Black belts are more liable for injuring someone in a fight than non-black belts.
Pretty much any statement that says %26#039;martial arts will do this, or won%26#039;t do that%26#039;. Fighting is a chaotic thing. Nobody knows what will happen. Having training in martial arts will give you an advantage, but it is not a guarantee.|||The best one of all is when someone says you need to get your hands registered as lethal weapons when you become a black belt.|||%26quot;Tai Chi is a kind of weirdo slow dance for senile Chinese.%26quot; Tai Chi, properly Romanized Taijiquan is one of the three major martial arts in the nei jia (internal family) of kung fu, along with Xingyiquan and Baguazhang. In proper execution, it not as slow as you would see during a training routine.|||I think one of the most prominant misconceptions out there is that many martial artists believe that %26#039;because I have a black belt%26#039; now I won%26#039;t get hurt or cut, or something if I get into a fight. Sometimes you can%26#039;t avoid getting hurt, but in most cases you CAN control WHERE you get hurt or TO WHAT EXTENT you get hurt. If someone pulls a knife and I%26#039;m unarmed, there%26#039;s a strong chance that I%26#039;ll get cut. Where I get cut is up to me. Is it better to take a cut on my hands or arms while disarming my opponent, or to take a knife in my lung, which could be a life-threatening injury. The answer should be clear.
That%26#039;s why you should train by making actual contact from time to time. If you know what it feels like to get hit, you%26#039;ll be less likely to be stunned if it happens on the street.|||I just had to respond but I don%26#039;t know if this will help you with your paper.
I am a married woman who started taking tae kwon do with my children because I always thought it would be fun. Well, it%26#039;s still lots of fun (of course it%26#039;s also a challenge and of course it also hurts a lot sometimes).
I get really ticked when my dad or my husband%26#039;s friends tell him things like, %26quot;Oh, I bet you really watch it now because now you know who can kick your butt.%26quot; Those comments are SO IGNORANT! I believe I could defend myself to some extent but why would I be stupid enough to make a joke out of my training or make a joke of the ART of my martial art?
My husband and I love and respect each other. Anyone who is even slightly acquainted with us can see that so their misconception is that as a martial artist I am stupid enough to pick a stupid fight with my husband. What do I look like? An egotistical cocky teenage boy?
Yeah, that misconception ticks me off.|||That there can ever even be one stated purpose to martial arts. Any phrase that goes %26quot;People do martial arts because...%26quot; is wrong, because different people enter the martial arts for different reasons. Some want to learn self-defense, while others want to do exercise, others feel it%26#039;s a good way to meet people, others are interested in the challenge they present, while others come in with other myths and enter the dojo thinking they will become killing machines, others yet aren%26#039;t quite sure why they%26#039;re there, but they%26#039;ve felt attracted to martial arts for a long time and felt it was time to give it a go.
And the main reason why this is a myth is that most people change their reasons along the way. This is the real magic of martial arts which awaits the more open-minded students. You might come in to the martial arts thinking you%26#039;re going to become a fighting machine, only to find out you really like the peace and harmony that eventually comes from mutual respect and training with other people who are making efforts as well.
There%26#039;s more then meets the eyes.|||I have come across many self promoters,they read a few books and they think that they are a black belt.This takes years of intense training to become a black belt in any true style.Just because you hold the rank of black belt does not mean you can fight,I have seen many get mopped up on the floor letting their mouth over load their ***.This is just the beginners stage it takes many years to become sufficient enough to handle yourself in a street fight.Some never can.|||%26quot;Black belts make great fighters%26quot;. thats another myth. all a belt does is identify your understanding of the system compared to other people in that system. it is not an identifier of fight ability. sure, it should be more than lower belts, but too many people think that the BB can kick @ss every time. wrong. we can all fight the opponent or style that we know, but it isnt really fighting is it.|||If you are a black belt your knowledge is infallible.
this is a big misconception.
The hand registering one that someone has mentioned, that one is common too.|||%26quot;Once a person has earned a black belt they have learned all there is to know and they are ready to move on to another martial art... %26quot;
Actually, once a person has earned a black belt they have learned the basics and are ready to START LEARNING about the specific martial art itself.
.|||that you will get in trouble if you use martial arts and that they will classify you as a lethal weapon....this is ridiculous...you got into a fight...nobody died..and now you are the blame....who knows...what if the other person was the person who started causing trouble? that a black belt can use anything as a weapon.....so that means i give him/her a couple cotton balls..and they can kill someone? get real....even if i give them a long stick...they might even get beat up..let alone trying to kill someone with a couple gum drops...|||If you%26#039;re in a striking art, being a black belt is suppose to mean that you%26#039;re also excellent at tricks and high flying moves.

Unless you are really good, they aren%26#039;t going to help you in a fight.|||The idea that a high dan means it%26#039;s holder is incredibly proficient. Usually if someone is a 7th dan or something like that they received that rank to honour their long term service to their chosen style as a teacher, administrator, etc.
Also I agree with David N; shodan should be see a starting point, not as an end in itself.|||No two black belts are the same. It is a completely subjective form of identification within the martial arts world. Experience and talent are the true measures of one%26#039;s ability. This goes without saying. And yes. Once you have entered the Dan ranks of a martial art then the true understanding and potential of what it has to offer starts to come to light. And as far as the actual black %26quot;belt%26quot; is concerned, it is there simply to keep your gi from falling off.
S|||Martial Arts is for defense only.
That%26#039;s a myth I%26#039;d like to see squashed. While we don%26#039;t encourage kids to start a confrontation. As adults we are free to choose when and how we use our training. Sometimes the best thing to do is initiate the confrontation. There is a time and place for all things, a time for peace and a time for war. When it%26#039;s time for war.. be the first to strike.
So far, the ones I%26#039;ve got down are:
-Being a black belt makes you invincible.
-The sole purpose of martial arts is to transform you into a killing machine.
-___________ is the best martial art ever invented.
-___________ is better/crappier than ___________.
Pretty obvious stuff, as you can see, but I%26#039;d like to expand it more and try to cover the most common %26quot;myths%26quot; about martial arts, especially pertaining to fighting and self-defense.
And please do NOT tell me stuff like %26quot;Muay Thai is the best system for fighting%26quot; and %26quot;I could kick any TKD dan%26#039;s butt any day.%26quot; If you%26#039;re not going to be objective, don%26#039;t bother answering.
Thanks to all who answer.
(I%26#039;ll probably ask this again later to get more answers from more people so don%26#039;t be surprised if you see this question again.)|||my fasvorite is %26quot;hand registered as lethal weapons%26quot; (if my put my hands in my pockets is that a concelled weapon) thats a funny one and my responce when people ask me
another favorite is %26quot;i have a black belt I know everything in which ever art%26quot; no one no knows everything in the art unless you the perosn who invetnted it
%26quot;Black belt makes me a good fighter%26quot; not really the art you study will help you but the belt is self has no magic your not any better with or with out it its a rank does not mean much compared to ecperience
%26quot;I got my black belt in a shorter time then you did so i am better%26quot; no maybe your dojo makes it easier to recieve a balck belt|||well a couple of questions i used to get asked when i was teaching -can you fly %26amp; can you run up walls?haha by kids obviously.theres so many misconceptions it would take all day to list.
EDIT%26gt;the give a warnings stuff.only a fool would give a warning,if you warn them and then hurt them youve already admitted your guilt.|||Practicing martial arts will make you healthier.
Traditional martial arts don%26#039;t work in the street.
Black belts are more liable for injuring someone in a fight than non-black belts.
Pretty much any statement that says %26#039;martial arts will do this, or won%26#039;t do that%26#039;. Fighting is a chaotic thing. Nobody knows what will happen. Having training in martial arts will give you an advantage, but it is not a guarantee.|||The best one of all is when someone says you need to get your hands registered as lethal weapons when you become a black belt.|||%26quot;Tai Chi is a kind of weirdo slow dance for senile Chinese.%26quot; Tai Chi, properly Romanized Taijiquan is one of the three major martial arts in the nei jia (internal family) of kung fu, along with Xingyiquan and Baguazhang. In proper execution, it not as slow as you would see during a training routine.|||I think one of the most prominant misconceptions out there is that many martial artists believe that %26#039;because I have a black belt%26#039; now I won%26#039;t get hurt or cut, or something if I get into a fight. Sometimes you can%26#039;t avoid getting hurt, but in most cases you CAN control WHERE you get hurt or TO WHAT EXTENT you get hurt. If someone pulls a knife and I%26#039;m unarmed, there%26#039;s a strong chance that I%26#039;ll get cut. Where I get cut is up to me. Is it better to take a cut on my hands or arms while disarming my opponent, or to take a knife in my lung, which could be a life-threatening injury. The answer should be clear.
That%26#039;s why you should train by making actual contact from time to time. If you know what it feels like to get hit, you%26#039;ll be less likely to be stunned if it happens on the street.|||I just had to respond but I don%26#039;t know if this will help you with your paper.
I am a married woman who started taking tae kwon do with my children because I always thought it would be fun. Well, it%26#039;s still lots of fun (of course it%26#039;s also a challenge and of course it also hurts a lot sometimes).
I get really ticked when my dad or my husband%26#039;s friends tell him things like, %26quot;Oh, I bet you really watch it now because now you know who can kick your butt.%26quot; Those comments are SO IGNORANT! I believe I could defend myself to some extent but why would I be stupid enough to make a joke out of my training or make a joke of the ART of my martial art?
My husband and I love and respect each other. Anyone who is even slightly acquainted with us can see that so their misconception is that as a martial artist I am stupid enough to pick a stupid fight with my husband. What do I look like? An egotistical cocky teenage boy?
Yeah, that misconception ticks me off.|||That there can ever even be one stated purpose to martial arts. Any phrase that goes %26quot;People do martial arts because...%26quot; is wrong, because different people enter the martial arts for different reasons. Some want to learn self-defense, while others want to do exercise, others feel it%26#039;s a good way to meet people, others are interested in the challenge they present, while others come in with other myths and enter the dojo thinking they will become killing machines, others yet aren%26#039;t quite sure why they%26#039;re there, but they%26#039;ve felt attracted to martial arts for a long time and felt it was time to give it a go.
And the main reason why this is a myth is that most people change their reasons along the way. This is the real magic of martial arts which awaits the more open-minded students. You might come in to the martial arts thinking you%26#039;re going to become a fighting machine, only to find out you really like the peace and harmony that eventually comes from mutual respect and training with other people who are making efforts as well.
There%26#039;s more then meets the eyes.|||I have come across many self promoters,they read a few books and they think that they are a black belt.This takes years of intense training to become a black belt in any true style.Just because you hold the rank of black belt does not mean you can fight,I have seen many get mopped up on the floor letting their mouth over load their ***.This is just the beginners stage it takes many years to become sufficient enough to handle yourself in a street fight.Some never can.|||%26quot;Black belts make great fighters%26quot;. thats another myth. all a belt does is identify your understanding of the system compared to other people in that system. it is not an identifier of fight ability. sure, it should be more than lower belts, but too many people think that the BB can kick @ss every time. wrong. we can all fight the opponent or style that we know, but it isnt really fighting is it.|||If you are a black belt your knowledge is infallible.
this is a big misconception.
The hand registering one that someone has mentioned, that one is common too.|||%26quot;Once a person has earned a black belt they have learned all there is to know and they are ready to move on to another martial art... %26quot;
Actually, once a person has earned a black belt they have learned the basics and are ready to START LEARNING about the specific martial art itself.
.|||that you will get in trouble if you use martial arts and that they will classify you as a lethal weapon....this is ridiculous...you got into a fight...nobody died..and now you are the blame....who knows...what if the other person was the person who started causing trouble? that a black belt can use anything as a weapon.....so that means i give him/her a couple cotton balls..and they can kill someone? get real....even if i give them a long stick...they might even get beat up..let alone trying to kill someone with a couple gum drops...|||If you%26#039;re in a striking art, being a black belt is suppose to mean that you%26#039;re also excellent at tricks and high flying moves. You%26#039;re suppose to know advances moves and combos, but that doesn%26#039;t mean you have to be able to do 720 kicks, gainer x-outs, and raizes. Everyone seems to think the upper level people always know how to throw out the tricks, when many don%26#039;t for whatever reason. Unless you are really good, they aren%26#039;t going to help you in a fight.|||The idea that a high dan means it%26#039;s holder is incredibly proficient.
