The Best Defense                                                                                                              
Shotokan is a martial art. It is a fighting system. With it, we can cause serious
damage to others (and ourselves if we are not careful).


1.Avoid the situation altogether
2.Walk or run away from the situation if it presents itself
3.Talk your way out of it
4.Control techniques (for friends or ones who are annoying but not
threatening) and finally
5.Use force for force.
