Our main aim is not to get hit, not to get hurt. Imi used to say, “Rule number one, if we have a low level of ego, in this case, it’s easily manageable to reduce the conflict to minimize the friction with other people. And like this, we’ll have less attacks directed towards us, less conflict.” However, in reality, at whatever level you are, you may get hurt, you may get hit, attacker may surprise you. And even there can be a weapon in the attackers hand, a weapon that you couldn’t see. And in the heat of the moment, when the adrenaline dump hit you, the situation that there was a weapon and you got hit by a weapon was not perceived by yourself.
In such a case, you may have gotten hurt but you don’t know about this thing. You don’t know that you are bleeding even, so it’s very important for you to check for injuries. When the time is right, meaning, when you are at the safe zone, when you have no danger around you, then you can check yourself. And the best way to do, is to press your hand on the different parts of the body, and then look if there’s blood, if it’s red. If there is injury, go and get assistance, someone assistance to you. The same goes if there was somebody else with you. If you were attacked, check yourself and check also the other person. It’s life and death, do this. Train on it.
