Ah, that's what I figured, ta. I'd always just assumed that was part of the Shotokan bit, though I suppose it's not really related to a style, so.... yeah. The best part of karate, thatThe Dr Jack said:
TBH, the only time I'm gonna get mugged in Bath would be late at night, and the only times I'm be out late at night I'll be in a group, (late nights are club nights, and we pretty much always stick in our house groups so we can find our way home) so it's really all a moot point.
And yeah, they always make a big point of that, particularly in jitsu (more defensive than karate) - unless you'll die / get seriously injured / get raped if you don't fight back, just give up what they want, and leave.
Though, on a more entertaining note, someone broke into the house of one of the jitsu second dans, he went downstairs, took the guy down and held him in an arm lock until the police arrived. That one's told at pretty much every large gathering of jitsuka I've ever been to - it's used as an example for the newbies, bless them, of just how cool jitsu is.
