I wouldn't want to mess with my Sensei either but he would be the last person to assert himself in that way. Some people learn the art without learning self control. You also learn to avoid than to be agressive. Some people can't do that no matter how there trained. It is a shame that people trained need to assert themselves to prove there skill to anyone who'll watch. What I learn is left at the dojo, competition or demo. If I need to defend myself, I can. If I was ever the aggressor and my Sensei found out, I would loose the privledge of learning from him.

The real art is in avoidance and if that doen't work, use as little force as possible to get out of the situation or to defend yourself. Archangel used as little force as nessary to diffuse the situation. If he didn't he would have been outside of the place like the other guy. If you turn on the guy and beat him to a pulp your now no better a person than him.

I am in the process now of recompiling all my views, thoughts, and philosophies on violence.

Been thinking about it a great deal.

If my views change, I am unsure if I will be able to change with them. There are entirely to many people dumb enough to try and take a piece of me for me to even try to become a pacifist.

A lot of thinking to do have I.

A lot of it comes back to the sheepdog thing. A sheepdog is a working dog. You want/train/teach a dog to be be at its most controlled when it is excited. Selah. Peace.

Just got back from the Mudmen concert. They rocked! Good loud pipes rocking away, terrific crowd interaction. These guys are developing a hard-core fan following. There was a couple of cute girls there, guys trying all the moves, but, hey, we came to watch the band. I had fun watching that action too. The band played a long set and had people from the audience up singing into the mic, including the singers from the previous band. Late night, but a good night. New album comes out Oct. 11, they'll be back to promote that.

BTW, re: last week's incident, I talked with the owner, he was quite upset and assured the character had been barred for ever. Talked with the bouncer tonight, thanked him, he said the guy was growling at him. No sign of any problem anywhere tonight, just a good fun time.
