A weird thing I used to do was talk myself though the fight. so I would tell myself to hit back.

Not sure, but it's an old old old Aussie Pizza Hut ad, iirc. Dude delivers pizza to his own home and asks his dad for a tip. Dad says above quote. Became a staple dad joke from then on. Now I'm rehashing it for the next generation.

a) that we're getting too old for this ****;
b) we watched way too much tv growing up;
c) that our impressionable young minds were forever corrupted by corporate advertising;
d) that we too readily accept/memorize dad jokes; or
e) all of the above.

I'll give you two more tips

Never get into a land war in asia. And Never mess with a Sicillian when death is on the line.

A female on Bullshido? We're through the looking glass here, people. I thought we've reached our mandatory female quota on this site, haven't we? Phrost, might want to check it out, did we lose Lily or something?

Just kidding, zaramav, welcome to Bullshido. We are an equal opportunity beat down squad.

But seriously, you would've been rocking around in diapers around the time of that ad, possibly even not yet conceived. This makes me sad because I am old. Now I am happy because I am awesome.

That's a good idea, I'll definitely give that a try. I've also noticed that I don't maintain my fighting stance and I tend to lean back rather than hunching over, how long did it take everyone to becoming accustomed to the way that you stand?

Haha yes, was very potentially still in a nappy.
Yeah I figured there weren't many ladies on forums...thought it would be a good way to contribute and to hopefully learn some techniques!

When I finally master my basics I will let you know.

but the thai stance took a bit because of the narowness of it. You just can't get lazy on it.
