I took Judo for three years. And kickboxing.
Yes I would help that person, of course. I would try to get physically close to the attacker so I could throw him (or her) and do the devil's triangle on them. (best Judo move ever. mwahaha)
And if not then I would throw punches and kicks that I learned from kickboxing on them.
I cannot stand anyone being attacked and just IGNORE it. That's... that's... woww. Unbelievable.

I believe as a human being, you should do something and not sit by and watch someone in danger. You don't have to be a martial artist to help someone. Even if you are a martial artist, you don't necessarily have to use your skills. Just shouting and making your presence known may be enough to end the situation.
You have to be careful in the 'real world'. People can talk a big game when it's just talk, and maybe they have the ability to back it up. But there's a big difference between knowing how to fight and knowing when to fight. It's quite possible that if you use a martial arts technique to stop a mugger and it results in injury that you will be sued by the mugger for assault. It's also quite possible that he will win. The legal system is a funny thing. All he has to do is prove that YOU were not in any danger and it was YOU who attacked HIM. Lawyers have a funny way of spinning the facts around.
Just take a look at Police Officers. It's their job to intervene and yet, they often get sued for 'excessive force'. If it can happen to them, it most certainly can happen to any of us.

Of course, its the right thing to do in a situation, no tto look big, or brave or anything, i would hope if i was in trouble i couldnt get out of someone would do the same for me. I seen a guy get a girl the year below him in a headlock once and start punching her in the face repeatedly, and this guy, im not joking he mustve been three times the size of her, but i dragged him off of her and took her to first aid, the police were involved and everything. even today he still gives me death eye...I remember all the people just stood watching and it made me feel sick. a few guys chased him off when i had made him let go of her. you should have seen her face =(

The syllabus of Taekwon Do is:
Taekwon Do - the Art of Self Defense
By: General Choi Hong Hi
Note: Depending on where it was published, the last word in the title may be "defense" or "defence."
General Choi developed the modern discipline of Taekwon Do for the Korean Army. If this book is not available look for something else written by General Choi.

I do not like people who do nothing, because people who scurry away from others in need are just scared and people forget that if everyone on the street came over to the scene, there is no way that the bully will stand a chance. power in numbers. but society isnt like that. we are selfish. but you cant blame people for staying safe in their comfort zone of fear.
I wouldnt give them too much grief for staying safe though, as too many times I have regretted helping these same scared people.
I have helped people who were getting beat up, or stalked and all but one left me to it as they run off. one couple who were being taunted and pushed around by 3 guys took my intervention as a good time to hop in a waiting taxi, driving off and leaving me with them. @ssholes. a few drunks didnt even know I had saved them from being mugged.
I say what is the point?
if people put themselves into situations they cannot handle, they probably need the wake up call. all the 'peace loving' hippies out there condemning violence really love you when you use it to save their @ss, but leave you on the frypan while they escape.
though I still do it, but with more discretion, as I understand that to ignore it is to allow it to happen.
but be careful if you become a saint, for there will be no time to feel good about it.
and I dont do TKD either. thank god.
whos giving the thumbs down around here? A TKD grandmaster perhaps?

I walk around looking for a situation like this (no I don't pick fights) so I can test out some of my new moves on the attacker. If he is strong bring it, if he is stronger than me he will defeat me quicker its all good ether way. However I will catch hell when I get back to the Dojo because Sensei Charles says there is no excuse for fighting unless its a life or death situation. But I mean come on dont limit this to just fights help the old lady beside the road change her tire too.

I think it all depends on the situation and how well you can assess whats going on
Yes its a sad shame that people turn a look in the opposite direction but there's a good reason for this.
Its far better to get help from the right people than go in with all guns blazing.
If anyone knows the moves that stop bullets from going through the skin then i would love to know it ;)

Yeah I would. However I'm not worry about that at all, I live in city where it's busy but peaceful, almost scary peaceful. I've been here for about 6 months and I saw sirens only four time. So I'm sure if anything was to go wrong bunches of peope will come and help.
