[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5865383, member: 82425"] To be honest, Im not sure how people can argue against this point. You are absolutely correct. If someone jumped me in an ally with a knife. Would I think a) Run up the wall like a wuxia warrior, then fall on him grabbing his his neck in a vice like leg grib, flipping and using my forward momentum to throw him into the sky to splat on the opposite wall b) Take a swing at him c) Run like hell The "you can attempt anything" argument implies I could give a) a shot. But a) would simply never enter my thoughts. It just wouldnt. I have 4 seconds to make a decision that determines whether I live to see the next sunrise, and I resort to option a)??? No. Without a certain amount of training or background, it would simply never enter my mind to attempt certain things, and I would therefore argue that there is limits to what the "common man" can even attempt. In the above scenario, he can attempt b) or c), but a) is for warriors of a certain level only. [/QUOTE]
