Prologue:

In August 2013 in a brutal,
High-profile stabbing incident,
A righteous Hong Kong newspaper editor -
Of the Free Press a protector -
Was mercilessly hacked six times;
To the ICU he was confined.
He had gone to the gates of Hell;
Thankfully, he‘s back doing quite well.
With my old ‘pen‘ for now, away -
Hear! Hear what I have to say,
Freedom Fighters you all are:
Might save your life these simple tips here!



1.
The pair of 'blade-wielder' don't come for your money;
This is not funny, nor phony.
That's right! They will sever your 'write' hand!
There, will you just stare, shake and stand?
Away from the jaws of Hell take flight,
At the first chance run for dear life!

2.
THE LEGS are your weapon longest;
Also, they're your weapon strongest!
Stop armed assailants in-coming,
At the knee, groin, shin -by hard kicking!
Stall the attacker, yell and take flight,
At the first chance run for dear life!

3.
Like Bruce Lee, kick quickly three times,
'Re-cock' mid-air your same leg fine.
Raise cross'd-arms with outward-facing palms,
Grab his knife-hand wrist, yell and 'Wham'!
Taken unawares, fight and take flight,
At the first chance run for dear life!

4.
If you miss your first target there
Don't just put your raised leg down:
Keep stomping his knee in mid-air!
Trample his foot, kick him to the ground!
Stun the attacker, yell and take flight,
At the first chance run for your dear life!

5.
To save yourself always rush in!
This is real close-quarters fightin':
Block or grab his 'cocked' (bent)weapon arm,
Punch his eye, chin -he's doing you harm!
Away from the mouth of Hell take flight,
At the first chance run for dear life!

6.
When you are punching or striking
Repeat the action without stopping!
Strike 'super-fast' and hard three, five times,
Kick hard, stomp him hard with your foot fine!
Stall the attacker, yell and take flight,
At the first chance run for dear life!

7.
Smartly snap your knee or leg up -
Take this, and this, and this! You thug!
Your powerful elbow and knee
From serious harm can set you free!
Away from the mouth of Hell take flight,
At the first chance run for dear life!

8.
Keep up a ferocious and continuous fight -
Leave no pause for the attacker to resume his attack:
Throw repeated elbow strikes to his temple, throat and neck.
At the first opportunity, take flight and run for dear life!
Now, start to train and train each day on one-leg standing -
Only from a stable base, can one be powerfully kicking!

9.
Of course it goes without saying,
If you're into techniques defending -
The 'leg work' helps avoid a close call
For also on-the-beat Law Enforcement all.
Stall the attack, kick again with might,
Take out your weapon, fight for dear life!
