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

It all depends on the situation. I know several martial artists through my Judo club and I also my mother and they all hold different views on force. My Mother says that she would do "whatever it took" to subdue an attacker if the situation arose, but she also knows several methods of using minimal force to subdue somebody. She wouldn't need to use "all her strength" in many situations and neither would many experienced martial artists." I accept that you are annoyed that a 13 year old is sharing something that you disagree with, but in future why not tell me without insulting me or diminishing from the good points I have made, though in your eyes they may be minimal?

Thank You
