Taboo against hitting fallen oponent

If you really want to kick an opponent on the Ground, there's really something wrong with you.

"I didn't really mean it" is a bleat often heard when excessive force/violence is used and witnesses look appalled at the aggressor...it doesn't work too well in Court, either.

This seems apropos. Young, PRIDE Shogun was a beast with these.

LOL what the hell does that mean??? If I get someone down & I don't want them getting back up, **** yeah I'm going to put the boots to them. & any one of many situations that would call for me to take such an action, there would definitely be something very wrong with those situations, but not me, man. Not me.

...well, there is the other rule.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. ;-)

Stamping on some assholes face is fucking awesome, I highly recommend it.

When stuff like this comes up (as it pertains to self defense on the street) the guy I train with likes to say, "Don't be afraid to inconvenience your opponent".

"No fair... they were only trying to wound you!"
"Well, then what killed them were suicidal rules of engagement."

Tough decition here in my country the prisons really suck after all they are Third World ****-holes, I'm seriously thinking of doing atleast a few months of police job so If I do something awful I get sent to the whitecollar and policeman jail, I know this because my uncle and grandfather are policeman and my father is a lawyer. Still I would prefer to use too much force and be able to escape in a self-defense situation I would probably not say anything about that to the police just in case they decide to send to jail

I cannot say on the TMA prohibitting hitting fallen opponents because I do not really know the rules that well.

I am pretty sure this is mentioned already, but unless you are in sanctioned matches like MMA, I find hitting FO needless and stupid due to legal problems regarding self-defense. My common sense dictates me to just run away if I ever get lucky enough to knock someone down.

I don't know, it's just my thought.
