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 )
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 was thinking of including that too as an option But that would have led to excessive off-topic discussion
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.
.5 centimeters above where his thumbnail ends on his right thumb, irrespective of whether he's right or left handed 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.
Do you know anything Its 4:27 on Tuesday and it has to be on a new moon. [shakehead] phht, amatures[/shakehead]
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. 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 Best regards Pat
i'd definitely hit what was closest to me. i also like going for toes, but that's just a foot fetish. lol -nico-
Hmmmmmmmmm, ok Pat I have to agree But, I dont know how to use a stick properly 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.
