Cool story. Of course, even I can sling punk kids around. I wonder how your SEAL friend would fare against a real master. I don't know myself, but I am certain that it won't be like dealing with some street thug. Of course, anyone who has really practiced isn't going around picking fights. That's kind of antithetical to the philosophy. I was taught to use what I know defensively; something to which I adhere.

Did I say that the former SEAL picked the fight? He did not he merely kept the other person from harming him he was actually trying to walk away as best he could with someone pressing into him.

I don't now it would depend when one takes into consideration that a master in reference to a martial art such a person would never go around picking fights either.In all honesty what are the odds of a person skilled in martial arts encountering another so skilled in an uncollected situation? I would say rather slim.

The odds of a skilled person encountering unskilled person are very high though and underestimating anyone is a rather grave mistake in some cases literally.

I used to practice a fair bit of Tae Kwon Do I spared many times however I have also been in a few real life hand to hand situations and I see many differences for starters one is a controlled situation with rules and another is an uncontrolled situation with no rules what so ever a warrior does not show their true effect until they in a situation where no rules apply in other words in a war zone where they can kill their foe if need be without consequence.
