On honor & fighting: Honor doesn't mean you'll go easy on an opponent just because they got hurt & want to go on. It means you'll respect him or her as a warrior & give them your all in battle. Some fighters use dirty tactics & that's okay as long as they're giving they're all. I would never go easy on some dude if I hurt him & he still wants to play. I'd respect him & try my best to end him quickly. I hope he'd do the same for me too. The honor, courage & purpose I was referring to in my original post means that one will give their best to fight will all that one has, never become frightened by an opponent's power if its greater than theirs (I figure if you got yourself into you have to handle it) & one should only fight for a significant reason or cause. For me, that purpose is(was) usually to test my own ability & to see how strong I can become. Since I started practicing Taiji things have changed a bit though.

@ Clocks: I'd love to learn more about fencing in general. I just started the Wu Style Taiji Saber form in my class & its cool.

Yes in boxing there are rules so people don't end crippled or with brain damage (even so they might get it anyway), but the other guy is not going to hold himself back, he is going to destroy you mentally and physically, because he knows, that you are going to do the same if he gave you the chance. At the end its a mater of taking the fight seriously, if you are not doing it, you die, if you are doing it, you are going to do anything that's to be done to survive, even if you have to cheat, because you don't want to get traumatized, with brain damage, with broken bones and traumatized ligaments. ya, you might not going to die, as in boxing is not allowed to kill someone, but the other guy knows that if he get his guard down, if he don't give everything on the fight, he might become the one who gets crippled or traumatized, so as the same that the other guy is not playing with you, but fighting you, you should also think in fighting that guy and use whatever you have to survive.

ClockHand thinks all fighting is street fighting

TBH I can't fight worth shit. As in, if I consciously stepped into a ring to fight another person I wouldn't be able to hit them. Typically I get hit first, then my body makes quick work of em before I can even think about it. So to put short: I can't fight, I can only rage really hard.
