David is on a distinguished road
Default I have a problem

Hello.

My name is David. All through school I was picked on by kids who were bigger than me. I feel like a lot of times I was beat on because someone would make a lame childish comment and in retaliation, I said something that was actually clever and made them feel stupid. Then they would resort to violence. I got into a few fights trying to defend myself and lost most of them. My parents never would allow me to join a dojo and I never really wanted to. I'm a pacifist. I don't like violence but I'm at the end of my rope. I am out of school now but I am still very timid because of abuse I have endured. Telling a teacher only caused more problems.

This is what I'm asking. I have no money, no place to train but being at the end of my rope now, I am desperate for a way to stop this crap that is happening to me. Is there anyway someone can tell me just one simple move that will stop attackers and let them THINK they shouldn't mess with me. Again, I'm not looking to hurt anyone or kill anyone. I just want to hit them so maybe they will stop and think before they attack me again.

Default What?

In summery, you are getting beaten by bullies and want a MOVE that will stop them, but you do not want to hurt them because your a pacifist.

Stop your whining. Pacifists get their ass kicked and do not fight back - that is why they are called pacifists.

However, when these guys start a VERBAL fight by making a "lame childish comment" to you, you fight back VERBALLY. You are not a pacifist. You just do not know when to keep your mouth shut.

My advice to you is either shut-up and be a pacifist or ball-up your fists and hit them three ways - hard, fast, and continuously.

Here's a simple move

RUN!!!

And SOG is right.

There are no secret moves to ensure your safety. If its a group of people, they will beat you down easy. The best thing to do is avoid them. Or next time call the cops I guess.

Read the "Illuminatus! Trilogy" by Robert Anton Wilson. And it will solve your bully problems. But it might create a few other problems...
