Not sure if anyone ever experinced this, but particulary in a street fight long hair is a liabilty, your long hair gives your rival something to grasp and hang on to, not good.

I can vouch for that. Had a rather large fellow grab my hair and throw me through a plate glass window.
That's not a problem now.

Sadly I had to give up my love for street fighting when I grew my hair out. I tried just tucking it under my hat but invariably in a bar room brawl the hats gonna get knocked off at some point.  |

Only if you let them get close enough! I gave up fighting anywhere when I became more experienced in age. However if I ever got caught in a bind I would think I have equipment with me to prevent them getting too close. I would probably end up in trouble, but my face would sure appreciate it.  Jim |

CWI is more than likely right about the presence of an aura on some people.
Although from my experience I have never actually "seen" any kind of color, or energy force or anything around someone. What my experience has been is that my sixth sense or whatever it should be called, tells me to look harder at some people or even surroundings and then I just know I need to look at what I am seeing, or that an individual needs watching more closely.
As I have mentioned before there have been times when although nothing has happened that I was aware of, everything slowed down, my vision gets clearer, my hearing ability increases, I smell things I wasn't smelling a few seconds before. I suppose tying that into my brain kicking in to hyper sense without a conscious awareness of it happening or needing to happen on my part does happen. It has saved my life more times than I can count.
Not just in warfare but driving a car, I have weaved when there was nothing there to weave from, just to have a car in front of me stop or have a tire blowout. One I remember I was following my Son at night while he was pulling a trailer and I jerked into the other lane just as one of the ramps fell off of the trailer and slide past where we had just been.
I can't explain it, I have no conscious awareness that I need to do something yet, it happens and then I am aware of what needs done. Any many many times it would have been too late if I had not reacted to whatever it was before I knew it.
I know training and experience I have had has enhanced the ability, but some of it has always been there. I think it was fine tuned during my crazy period.
I have tried to explain it or teach it to people, but have had very little success. Shutting my eyes can some times help me to increase my other senses, or I can shut my eyes and when I reopen them I can tune in what I am looking at better. I can see colors being off and lines and contours/contrasts being off, and find men or animals hiding where I might have missed them before.
The air thing I don't know when I first realised that sense existed, the only way I know to explain it is like the water current or if you are in a closed room and a door is suddenly changed there is a pressure difference created. Most people can understand the door opening situation but when I try to explain how they can do the same thing with someone moving around them, just like the school of fish in water, I haven't found many who even understood, much less were able to do it.
And maybe it isn't air flow that I am using, maybe one of my other senses picks something up that I am not consciously aware of and I falsely attribute it to "feeling" them.
I know I have watched people in malls unconsciously change their path around someone my senses have told me to watch closer. Maybe they feel or see something but have tuned it out so long they aren't even aware they do it.
I wish I had away to find it and bottle it, I sure has helped me with situation awareness for a lot of years.

If I am fighting you hand to hand you can bet I will use your long hair against you. Also your loose shirt or your belted pants. Its been my experience both people are going to loose in a hand to hand situation, but the one who is going to loose the least is the one who can do the most damage the quickest. "No rules in a knife fight, Butch" said Harvey, in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Or any other fight as far as I am concerned.  |

The ability to strike first, hard and fast gives one an advantage for sure. Make sure the strike does the job. I saw a guy just get pissed off one time when he should have been coldcocked. The other guy either pulled his punch or just didn't give it his all. His mistake.... And I would use long hair to my advantage if possible....no such thing as a fair fight.... Jimmy |
