Absence is correct but you shouldn't get yourself into the "avoidance" stage where you avoid things just because it could happen 

 

But absence or removing yourself is correct 

 

On my way to work last night in Australia I decided to take a short cut at 11pm through a big Park land 

 

Only to realise that it was full of homeless people, I got some abuse but kept walking ,

I could of stopped and argued but I ignored it ,I couldn't even see their faces it was dark 

 

Was it a smart move to walk through a park at night full of drug addicts...no but should we avoid this?

Avoidance is not the answer 

You are right Georgie avoidance is not the answer. What you should do is confront these homeless alco druggies and call them all dickheads ans loser and it doesn't matter how big they are or how many of them just give it to them Then....get on your electric scooter and get out of there fast.That's the only way to fix those pricks

  • The best weapon is absence – remove yourself from the situation.    Learning anything like you suggest at your age will probably give you a false sense if confidence and get you hurt.  

  • I reckon it's too late for you to learn these skills.    I don't think you have the coordination, the skill set required. Reading your recent postings, both monkey and ladyboy incident,

  • A man in his 70s, your fighting days are over, you no longer have the speed or the power, if someone drops you then you can't bounce back up...if you go down in your 70s then you're down, it's finishe

Perhaps it is the gay pick-up location?  Go back tonight and wink at these 'bad boys' and see what happens....

I was messaged by another poster who suggested at our age we learn weapons and great idea 

 

Yes there are martial arts courses in the Philippines on knife fighting I believe 

But unless I live in America I can't carry weapons unfortunately

I have been watching a few YouTube video ,I think and please don't quote me on this but the YouTuber is someone called Andrew Tate 

 

And he says " a man should learn to be dangerous"

To protect his family 

 

And 2026 for me will be learning boxing , karate , and everything else 

 

I will travel to Thailand,to Phillipines to learn all disciplines 

I'm thinking at my age I maybe better to stick with boxing and ....sorry to sound "violent " but ..learn the art of knife fighting and using a stick because at our age it's not easy to stand and fight normal so I need to learn weapons 

 

This is a dangerous world especially for us mature age guys 

 

All I ask and surely it's not too much is for you to learn some kind of fighting skills to protect yourself and your family 

 

But....we need to learn it for our age group 

It's no use if your 70 to do ju juitsu your going to get hurt 

 

Weapons like Phillipines martual arts etc are better at your age 

 

You will never know when you might need these skills believe me

How can I be jealous of such a stupid idea.

In America they are allowed to carry guns 

I believe and don't quote me ,but I believe in the Philippines you can also carry with a licence 

Mind you I heard here in Australia it's easy to get a gun licence 

The problem is knowing when to use a gun, it can escalate a problem and make it a fatal confrontation. Who's to say the other person doesn't have a gun also, or can go get one? It needs to be the only option, not the first.

Having lived and been coming to Thailand for nearly 36 years, aggressive behaviour is the last thing you want to be involved in. There maybe one person against you at the start but believe me that would multiply many times

I remember seeing a demonstration of JuJitsu years ago when I was starting out. Went to hall to get my 3rd belt, saw loads of infirm looking old men sat down.

Next thing I see, these old men are practicing JuJitsu on each other and were more "violent" than what we were learning. Obviously all were long experienced hands, but most were in their 60s, 70s, maybe older.

The Filipino martial arts of Kali teaches this
