I learned how to fight the old fashioned way. scrapping. where its a race against time to put the other guy down before he puts you down, because you are the only thing standing between them and what they want. but ive been in a couple fights where I had to stop my opponent because they were out of their minds. I couldn't bring myself to hurt them and add to their already massive list of problems. in those situations I walked away pretty banged up. any recommendations on groups, activities, martial arts, or philosophies that can help me in this? over the top violence is all ive known when it comes to such things. there has got to be a middle ground.

I don't take any system seriously anymore. I just take the good and cast the bad away. If someone throws a kick or punch. The nerve attack system used in Ninjitsu is very effective. A grappler will tear them up. Most forms of karate will be beat by a limited knowledge of BJJ. But they are only really effective one on one as they trap themselves. But with advance skill in anything the more of an arsenal you have. It's better to train in defense to the most common attacks that fuckers are going to try on you. A front snapkick to the jaw is effective if you can pull it off. People don't see it coming and don't look for it. But it takes time and stretching to pull a good kick off. A thumb to the eyesocket is effective against anything if your quick.

lol

Doesn't take any system seriously, goes for ninjutsu

Just lol

The nerve attack system of ninjutsu... Yeah, let's say you aren't a troll

What's going to happen is that not only you're going to miss, but your fingers are going to get pulverized by that kick by trying to hit a nerve on it, and even if you use your elbow to do just that, 50% chances you'll miss and become the one with damaged nerve

Anyway, back to your "front snapkick" story, why would you raise that leg to the head in the first place while a jab is going to be safer and way more effective? It's silly
