While getting the hell out of dodge in the first place may have been a better solution, you did the next bes thing. Which was display confidence, disrupt his narrative, and shift the threat from you, to him. Suddenly he wasnt the big bad mugger any more, he was the scared kid facing off against two mean looking guys who clearly werent scared of a knife.clapping_tiger said:Back in high school (God, it's been 12 years already?!?!) my buddy and I were walking down a quite street when another kid neither of us have seen before came out from behind a bush trying to hold us up with a Steak Knife. We were not physically attacked, but for some stupid reason we did not run and were going to take the kid on. After all there was 2 of usStupid move now that I think of it. But I slowly cirlcled around to the guys side that was holding the knife while my buddy was egging him on to try something. My plan was to grab his arm and try to break his arm over my knee. I don't know if it would have worked or not. But for some reason (I don't have a clue in the world as to why he gave up his advantage) he dropped the knife and that's when I tackled him into the bush he jumped out of and my buddy grabbed the knife and broke the blade from the handle and threw it, we then proceeded to thrash the kid good then went on our way, feeling real tough now.
Rocks(cut head), beer bottle(cut head and fractured skull), lead pipe(broken rib), heavy boots(broken rib), switchblade(slashed chin and puntured lung), P38 9mm(wounded dignity).
I am also interested in this post, in regards to the 9mm. Can you provide more details of that situation and how you disarmed/evaded the threat?TonyM. said:Rocks(cut head), beer bottle(cut head and fractured skull), lead pipe(broken rib), heavy boots(broken rib), switchblade(slashed chin and puntured lung), P38 9mm(wounded dignity).
The way I understand the post I would say that he didn't, it looks like he either got shot or performed my personal favourite Kenpo technique "the fleeing chicken" (as somebody else put it...)Venomstrike said:I am also interested in this post, in regards to the 9mm.

This is a prime example of not doing somethng to provoke a physical confrontation or reaction. remains me of that saergant in "Full Metal Jacket" yelling at that private in the latrine whom had a loaded weapon.masherdong said:I remember I was working at a restaurant and the kitchen manager had a few words and I told him shut up because he was talking so much crap. He then proceeded to get a large cleaver and started to come after me. Luckily, the manager came in and he dropped the knife and acted like nothing happened. We both were told to chill out and if we touched each other outside the establishment that we can just get another job. We chilled out and the next night, we went out and had a beer. Go figure.
