THE FIGHTING METHOD (Ransom style)

Here we discuss the fighting method devised by Ransom. I was never formerly introduced to martial arts as my former master was a drunk. He did have some cool things to say (see humor section). Anywhoo, enjoy the lesson. I'll have pics and more advice later on.

Fighting stance:

• Remember to keep your hands up and your legs ready for movement (evasion or attacking)
• Stand sideways to make yourself a smaller target
• Keep eye contact with rival

Defense and Offense:

• Defense is harder than offense, but is the basic fundemental of this style
• Grab the rival's limbs and twist them in awkward angles; this helps to stun them for a follow up attack
• Use pressure points to your advantage
• When dealing with a lighter opponent, don't be afraid to pick them up and throw them
• Keep your eyes peeled for objects and weapons in your environment; if your rival pulls a weapon why shouldn't you?
• Do not be afraid to hit a downed opponent, but do not go wild (don't wanna look like an asshole, right?)
• Use their attacks and momentum against them; you'd be surprised at the number of mistakes your rival can make when you know how to look for them

More strategies to fight by:

• Pissing off your rival may cause them to make blind mistakes, but if you piss em off too much they could bury you in just a few hits; BEWARE
• When in a hold remember to keep calm and avoid the instincual mistake of trying to pull their arm away; if in a head lock: poke their eyes or elbow their groin (unless it's a woman); pressure points
• If you just have to win with little effort or personal risk, grab their throat (not their neck) and dig your fingers into the sides clamping the arteries leading to and from the brain; be careful as they will be desperate enought to grab an eyeball (or any other ball) if they can get hold of it
• Don't go for the groin first; that's not cool; use gonadal attacks sparingly
• Protect your own dragon balls; the best way to stun an opponent is a shot to the goonies and your rival knows this
• Do not be afraid to fight like a kid; raking your fingernails across your opponents face will sting like the fires of hell and give him/her something to remember you by (as well as an opening for a more devestating move)
• Refrain from using your ki (also known as chi, or life energy)
• If you possitively have to use your ki, lure your opponent into a secluded area; nothing bystanders hate more than being brought into a ki fight
• Looking like you know what you are doing is important; style and arrogance are two seperate things
• Keep that power level lowered until just the right time
• "Strength without perception is useless."
