Regular Sparring Sessions is a Go

Avoid a conflict yeah sure. Some of us don't share that. Avoid a fight yes, actually have some dick who actually thinks he can take you, that's different.

Ah, if that was what you meant, then I'm with you. I didn't get that from the original post.

The original comment was that people would choose flight, regardless of training. I assumed that was a statement based on some evidence, so I asked. My point is that if it were true that people run, regardless of their training, there would be a large number of LEO's who bolted on their first dangerous call. The same would be true of bouncers, security guards, people entering competitions, etc. Now, if what was meant was that most people would choose to avoid a conflict rather than fighting, then I misunderstood the original comment.

Happens with bouncers a fair bit.

I'm guessing running away is not the predominant response, which was how I read his initial response.

It depends. Fight and flight are not clear cut things.

Agreed. They draw on the same physiological responses, for the most part.

In that they are kind of running and fighting at the same time.

Seems like a thread of somewhat similar misinterprets.

You guys need a group hug.
