The last time it happened, it was some obnoxious teenager being a jerk, but what am I supposed to do? I can't exactly grab him by the ear and march him back home to his parents...
I totally get where you're coming from... but honestly, you might just have to swallow that tear and move on... 😉
Training in martial arts isn't really meant to be used in your private life, out on the street, or anything like that...
Plus, I think it's actually pretty tough to apply what you learn in a gym to a situation like that—most likely, you'd just end up hurting yourself more than the other person...
