Oh how much grief would that usually bring,

I dont think we have that problem as much over here in the UK, people are usually the other way around, and say things like, oh thats where you dont punch or kick isnt it, and you throw somone,

as a kid they would then proceed to attempt to punch you and say, so what would you do if I did this, I became wise to this as a kid and I once had a bigger kid do the usual feint of a punch and then raise his leg to kick me in the shins, knowing the routine, I lifted my foot first and he kicked the bottom of my shoe, much to his amazement and dissapointment

I also was recently told by a Karateka that Judo is ineffective in the street, and I agreed with him, I walked away and smiled, knowing that the confidence Judo has given me was already working....
