Anonymous Unregistered	AgenT, quit being annoying! Re read the question, you only have two options. If you don't care for this thread then don't reply! Answers like "you don't have to block or redirect if you do not engage" are a waste of time because they not only state the obvious but also fail to answer a direct question. You may try again, if you choose.

Anonymous Unregistered	Ok. then I guss the best answer I can give is both. but I'm not worried about it because I wouldnt put myself in a situation where I'd have to use ethier. Why put yoursef in a corner by ignoreing the third option. the obvious is what most people dont want to hear they prefer to focus on the violence once it has aready started. Not what to do to avoid. No disrespect intended in this post so do get pissed off at me.

Anonymous Unregistered	Of the two choices, redirection is the more logical. It both stops the strike, and moves it off line from its target, plus it keeps it in use for a longer duration, allowing more openings for counters. Personally, I prefer a stop hit with good head placement. Then you don't even have to block
