Now who are you to yell at us about keeping restrained? Sounds like you just couldn't help yourself.

AHHH from the mouths of babes. The fact of the matter is the young man is right and for a 13 year old...I commend him on a well stated point (with the exception of the glass jar analogy - but they'll get better as you get older.
Actually sharks are made entirely of cartilage - we have a skeletal structure but anyway - the point being that he's right.
Your abilities as a martial artist come with responsibility (which should be conveyed with proper instruction). However, this doesn't mean let people walk on you but knowing when and when not to fight. If you don't learn to "pull back" then one becomes nothing more than a thug who knows how to fight.
I am older and I have been plenty of fights and avoided even more.
Again, young man continue on that path you are on the right track. It's nice to see some of our youth today understands.
