If you have taken karate class are you allowed to hit anyone?

I am just curious I have two different types of training ryu kyu kempo and shao lin do both karate and kung fu I have taken it for 3 years am I allowed to use physical force on anyone ? |||with reason yes.. i don%26#039;t think i hate this person is a good enough reason. maybe when you%26#039;re doing a demonstration. try, but usually don%26#039;t do cuz i think it%26#039;s still wrong|||I take Karate too, and the sensei stresses out the importance. We%26#039;re only allowed to hit in self defecnse, only after 3rd warning. Also, if you%26#039;re doing a demonstartion (without pay) and you explained the hit to the volunteer, and he is still willing to be the %26quot;test dummy%26quot;, you are able to do it on him. Finally, if someone else is getting picked on, warn them that he/she is your friend, and that you%26#039;re going to hurt him if he doesn%26#039;t stop 3 times, then you are allowed.|||your not allowed to hit anyone regardless if you do martial arts or not.


only in self defence, if someone hits you first you can hit them back|||If you are one of MY students? Only if you want to fight ME at the next class!!!!! lol!!!!!


Seriously, I don%26#039;t know who this %26quot;Shihan J%26quot; guy is, but he is right on the money!!!! (by the way e-mail me Shihan-dude, I like your attitude!!! Maybe exchange philosophies?)|||only for self defense . having more fighting skills than another person doesnt give you the right to use it for no reason duh|||Stop wasting your money on shaolindo. It is a made up art.





|||only in self defence|||yea, u should probably only do it if they start it but i guess?|||Only in self defense


and


Only as an absolute last resort.|||Yes you are allowed to fight but it has to be in self defence. You need to make sure that you dont use excessive force because if the cops find out you had training your hands are considered weapons. So just be careful|||In a legal sense even if you warned the person to back off or step away you are still gonna be in big trouble if you strike 1st. If you have the urge to punch someone try competing.|||Very impressive i do karate too, if you were to hit someone just because and not out of self defense that #1 is just wrong and #2 karate is the art of self defense, if you abuse that power then you abuse culture and tradition.|||im a ninja..master kumanchi says only for self defence|||well in class you shouldnt hit anyone unless you are sparring.





i dont understand this question completely because out side of class you can use it as much as you want you might choose not to use it. but in class you should just do what your instructor says.





are you saying you dont even want to spar because it is not an emergency?|||it is always better to walk way and if you cant walk then run very fast.


it should only be used in self defense.


if you are mugged then give him your wallet, is your wallet worth your life. its not the person in front of you, you need to worry about it%26#039;s his friends in the shadows you need to worry about, they do not always attack alone. and you can not always see them all.





there are times when you will need to defend your self. but not every situation will call for it. you need to be smart about when to defend and when not to.|||you are subject to the exact same laws as everyone else you are allowed to defend yourself but will be subject to excessive force like everyone else if you go too far
