Martial arts such as: Aikido, Karate, and Judo are renowned for their spiritual aspect and the emphasis on self-defence rather than aggressive attacking moves. A recent taxi ride made me aware of the rule in karate when going for the blue belt. The aspiring combatant must withstand 3 minutes of attack by his opponent without responding with blows, either using his/her hands or feet.
Evasive action is the preferred strategy no matter how difficult that may be. If only this tactic could be more universally applied in today’s might is right world.
