    Ok, so I'm interested in the outcome of this poll...
    If you had to choose one bodypart you strike first, which one would it be ???

    (Of course I mean with your weapon, but in a FMA thread I felt that this didn't need clarification :D)

    im going with yoda on this one, which evers closet and i can reach best. i supose my prefrence would be hands or arms, as if you disable them you cant hit them. although legs do stop them chasing you.

    I would always go for the head, whenever there was a possiblity.

    I was thinking of including that too as an option ;) But that would have led to excessive off-topic discussion :D

    Whatever was available, more than likely the torso, head is too hard and more likely to break your hand. Torso is a large area and harder to cover up.

    The closest ,which 9 out of 10 times would be the arm/hands...

    .5 centimeters above where his thumbnail ends on his right thumb, irrespective of whether he's right or left handed :D

    If for some bizarre reason, and the fantastically unlikely happens and I miss that spot, I will politely ask him to stand still so I can circle to his back and attack bladder meridian #12, the feng men (or "wind gate") point. This should cause his lungs to contract and cause death, if I attack heavily (probably!!!), or just unconsciousness, if I choose to attack moderately. :D

    Like many have said I would go for what ever was nearest me at the time, but invariably this would be the arms and hands so, I suppose nine times out of ten at the start of a confrontation Arms and Hands it has to be.

    I normally find that when I hit the head with my STICK it does not hurt my hand at all.:D

    Tsk, tsk, tsk, now that is if you hit them with your hand, but if you hit them with your stick to the same area we all know it only works on a Monday evening at 8:49pm and there has to be a cloud drifting over a slightly red moon. Tsk, Tsk, semi pros:rolleyes:

    Best regards

    If you would get your ass over here to oz and get established then we would be able to change the situation.

    That's why I spend some time every day punching a wall bag and conditioning my hand and wrists. The idea of not hitting someone's head in a fight seems a little bizzare to me.
