If you're taking up DEF 101, I suggest you don't get your instructor in the face.

Apparently they hate that kind of thing.

[Why is she announcing this? ... Because apparently she finds not hitting people in the face ridiculous. It's self defense, you should get them where it hurts! And now she wonders if these people haven't heard of the nose-nuts-and-guts treatment.]

Isn't this... Common Sense 101?

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

He hasn't learned it, apparently.

[lacking-assets.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not...

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

He'd better learn, for next time.

[lacking-assets.livejournal.com]

Actually... I meant that it should be common sense not to... hit your instructor in the face...

[lastesper.livejournal.com]

'Get' them in the face...?

Is that more slang? [ SHe doesn't know the nose-nuts- and guts treatment! Clearly she must learn this highly effective means of defense. ]

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

It means "get them in the face". With a fist.

[lastesper.livejournal.com]

Oh -- well ... you mean a punch? Wouldn't it be easier to just say... "punch"?

Um - I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with all of these .. the slang and the four mets. Formats?

[ ... how she screwed up 'metaphor' you don't even want to KNOW. ]

[Oh god, she's kidding, right? This will be hell on someone who practically grew up hearing those kinds of things. It's the norm already oh gawd.]

You punch people with a fist. It's obvious already.

And it's called "metaphor", not "format".

It's their own fault for not getting out of the way.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

It was sparring. I don't see why I couldn't use normal methods of defense when they work well.

[myhonor.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you were sparring with an incompetent instructor.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

I wont be surprised if that was the case.

-excuse the delete n' repost.

[ Talking to people without actually having to talk to people? This is a method of communication Vincent can get behind. ]

...perhaps he feels you missed the point.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

It's basic self-defense for girls. It's pretty much the point.

[hellhowl.livejournal.com]

[ He's fairly certain the self-defense class isn't just for girls. At least, he hopes not, having enrolled in it. ]

What I meant was, after reviewing last week's syllabus, it seems the purpose of this exercise with the instructor was to utilize non-physical or non-aggressive defensive techniques.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

Exactly why I waited for him to make the first move. Not my fault he grabbed me from behind.

[That's why she reacted so badly to it. Near-rape scene? dnw]

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Don't they have cure magic here? I don't see what the big deal was if you're defending yourself in a self defense class.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me how their minds work.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Guess you'd better not aim for the groin either, then. I think that might upset them more than hitting in the face.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

Nearly got it the first time.

[fierybluebird]

Shocking.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

Care to elaborate?

[fierybluebird]

That a teacher wouldn't want to get punched in the face while they're trying to teach a class of several students? I should think it'd be self-evident.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

Ego before teaching? Good show.
