Things I have learned from studying the martial arts.

[davywavy]

1) Just because you're bigger than them, don't assume it means you'll hit harder.
2) Youth & speed beat old age & guile 95% of the time.
3) Regardless of what the rules say, your groin is a legitimate target for female opponents.
4) My big toe is not supposed to bend in that direction
5) Nor is my arm, thanks very much.
6) If your opponent is smiling, they probably mean it.
7) Getting hit in the head hurts.
8) Nobody is impressed by how high you can kick.
9) No one style is inherently better than any other - except for Hung Gar, whcih is shit.
10) No matter how good you think you are, if you are ever faced with real-world violence then your best tactic is to run like hell and hope for the best.

Best thing to do with these sorts is to ignore them. Whoever is doing it is just after attention whether good or bad. Same principle as phone pests.

If I really wanted them to stop I'd turn on IP logging, because anonymous posters tend to dry up & vanish when you can track them :)
As it is, I feel sorry for the poor little fellow, and it isn't like he's doing any harm.
