Re: What would you do if someone attacked you in the street?

Epilogue:

The young aikidoka – now 12 years old - who posed the question to me had his own epiphany …

Another student at his high school took exception to his whistling. Rather then asking our deshi to stop whistling, the other boy threw a punch at him.

Our deshi slipped the punch. And he slipped the second punch from the other boy.

Responding to the third punch, our deshi somehow got around the aggressor and applied a goose-neck control.

End of conflict … no one got injured. The aggressor has not bothered our deshi since.

Our deshi actually forgot to mention this episode to me but was prompted to do so by his father – no fuss, business as usual.

I am very proud of our young aikidoka.
