Ever use a "special move" to settle a conflict?

i worked on and nearly perfected a dragon kick when I was younger. Never unleashed it in anger but my brother bore its anger in the training dojo. It is there when I need it. What would you consider your go to move? Ever use it?

I am very good at short sprints and throwing heavy objects at a distance.

I usually have knuckles in my back-pocket.

Compassion - and yes, every day.

I have done a quick punch to the solar plexus on a few occasions, though I haven't resorted to that in a number of years. I employed it as things were escalating and it was apparent the other person wanted to fight. You know, when they get in your face and even shove your chest. It has a way of stopping things from escalating.

I had a friend ask me this very question once. "Never mind." was his kind reply as he was looking up at me from the floor.

Jack Black taught me to kick in the cunt!



Rodney taught me to have tough friends...

I carry a Kubotan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubotan with me since I was robbed on the street during daytime around 20 years ago. I am well-versed with it and only had to use it once, 3 years ago, which was a great success and saved me and a friend from taking harm. The oppenent, on the other hand, remembers that day with less joy. A Kubotan, despite its size, can be very painful if used correctly and is still inline with my hippie soul, because it does neither easily kill, nor does it harm severely if you do not want it to. At least it is up to you. It's just very painful for the needed amount of time to allow me to either surprise, escape or get help. Some people call this device "attitude adjuster". It surely changes the attitude of your opponent...

Here is my favorite EDC Kubotan, well rather "tactical pen":

It is also a working pen which helps a lot with social acceptance and general usefulness.

I don't know whether one can consider this as a "special move". But taking out something that looks like a fucking pen and then causing very suprising pain with it seems "special" to me somehow...

Another option would always be the Jedi move:
like in: "this is not the conflict that you are looking for".

And empathy.

Around town my go to move is the Crane Kick.
When out of town I like the Drum Technique.
When at home, I keep it simple and Wax Off.



And for those of you thinking.... 'He forgot about the third one.'. NO.

Pat Morita was a walking weapon. Fought for justice and also stuck up for wimps. A great guy

I usually start telling them my high school marching band stories, that's enough to send them running.

There is a fine line between brawling with someone, someone getting maimed for life or getting killed. So my approach is to walk away, failing that in a stand your ground state a ninety grain solution is an unfortunate option.
