basic principles of hand to hand combat:

1. be aggressive
2. keep your eyes on your opponent
3. distract the opponent
4. disable or be disabled
5. vary the attack to fit the situation
6. turn the defense into an unrelenting attack
7. feel superior to the opponent, regardless of the latter’s size or evidence of strength

you know you will have little time to stop and think, when engaging in hand to hand combat.
therefore, your actions must be automatic.
remember, attack aggressively with one purpose in mind: to kill.

"Why don't we just influence their political process with campaign contributions?"
Woody Allen in Antz.

Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.
Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.

missing from the list

" don't start shit, if you aren't ready to go all the way"

basta, i think (in the original context anyway) that this would be after said shit had already started.

i kinda was thinking more along the lines of a way to approach a route than actual human on human physical confrontation. basic principles of hand on rock combat, if you will.

the origin is the tomahawk album "mit gas".


yes. i am bored.

ohhh I see...

my bad...because I was thinking there was still a chance for " ...I'm sooo sorry.....didn't mean to upset you....."


anyway, would this be better?

" Don't start shit and count on your buddy to finish it for you"
