Hang up on him

If you ever get a prank phone call, its always best to immediately hang up, so that you don't waste any emotion on someone who has too much time on his hands.

Also, this person who has too much time on his hands will have no reason to bother you any further, even in the unlikely event that he has your address.

The sooner you hang up, the sooner you can get on to things that you enjoy.

Ending the call right away makes it very unlikely that the encounter will ever lead to a physical encounter, even if you live in a small town.

The best self defense is to avoid having to defend, if possible.

Stay safe,

Well Said! Recent post by a student

Here's a recent question that was answered very well by one of my students.

Enjoy,

QUESTION on Yahoo! Answers

does anyone know what Hikuta is, is it for real and does it work? And how do you learn it?
Basically I am looking for a martial art that is easy to learn, based on the rational that if it is easy to learn i will be easy to use it in a tight situation.


A Freind found some infomtion on the internet relating to hikuta. This martial art claims to be very easy and quick to learn and makes some very good claims as to its effectivness. I have tried looking at all the major MA and infomation sites including (but not limited to) hikuta.net, hikuta.com, wikipediea, bullshido, the martialist, and am unable to make a decison about it.

Some people think it is the most effective martial art ever, others think it is a load of BS. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some more information please?

Including
1. is it easy to learn
2. does it work
3. does anybody train hikuta
4. has anybody used hikuta in a real fight
5. how long does it take to become proficient in this art
6. Is it worth the money and time
7. how can I learn it (if it is not bs)
8. can it be learnt from a DVD?

My understanding about Hikuta is that it is a close combat style, like what they teach in the military, thus it's easier to learn.

In the military, they don't have years and years to teach a soldier how to survive a close quarter combat fight, so they focus on proven, very simple techniques that are easier to learn.

They accomplish this in just a few weeks.

My experience using Hikuta is that when something happened, I defended using a reflex action called the startle, so it was very quick.

When the attack came I didn't have time to think "am I supposed to up block or down block" it just happened and I was surprised at how fast I moved using Hikuta's transformed "Startle". One touch from me and the attacker was on the ground.

I spent time in martial arts and they are great! Wonderful discipline, balance, focus and a lot more.

However, to be good at defending in a real combat encounter it takes about 10 to 20 years or more of martial arts training.

I learned Hikuta in about 6 months using the materials put out by Al Abidin.

He has the second Hikuta website that you referred to in your question.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
