As i am in school i am confronted by people all the time should i use my martial arts in self defence?

and i am finding it hard like not to mess about with my freinds eg kicking them as a joke what should i do

Answers:
Seriously - don't use it - it is counted as a weapon and if seriously hurt you can be charged with GBH.

As a teacher I know how hard it is and sometimes sticking up for yourself is the best way of stopping bullies - BUT - you will be treated as though are as bad as they are if your school finds out - and rightly so. Try chatting to your tutor - they are normally pretty savvy at sorting idiots out. they get paid for it and everything
your weird.
use it but dont hurt anybody
You have to remember that with skill comes dedication. As Uncle Ben once said, "With great power comes great responsibility."
to protect yourselt, yes. To goof around, no

You could not fight your way out of a wet paper bag. stupid gurl
you should know this if you have study any martial arts!
nothing dude. Chances are there's a joker with greater knowledge in your school that will kick your a** big time if you do.
if you have to use it then do so, personally id pick the one with the biggest mouth and show them the error of their ways.
be careful though boxers can get in trouble even if they are defending themselves as their fists are classed as lethal weapons!
Remember, if you are trained as a martial artist, you will be held criminally liable if you hurt someone, the idea being that because you are trained, your body is now a weapon in the eyes of the law. Only in the most clear-cut case of self-defense will you be cleared. I used to be the Chief Photographer and Assistant editor for Black Belt Magazine, so I know what I'm talking about.
Maybe if you can get these people messing with you to laugh, they might befriend you. The gift of humor is some pretty strong Kung Fu!
everyone knew somebody at school who claimed they "knew martial arts". nobody liked that person. so don't. just walk away mate.
restraint is less violent than counter attack.
I know its really tempting to retaliate when being pushed around by other people, but i think you'd be best just to report them to the head master or who ever's in charge. I don't know if you know this or not but if you study martial arts and use them on someone you can actually be charged and arrested. Which personally i don't thinks fair, they're the one harassing you making your life a misery, you have enough snap and thump them and it's you that's carted of in cuffs. Their not worth it, ignore them they will soon get bored, and the fact of the matter is there is always someone bigger than them out there, so they should really watch what their saying. There probably not very happy people and just want to try and make everyone else feel miserable like them, if anything you should pity them.
Stay away from trouble. Why are you confronted all the time? Because you 're walking right into it instead of away from it.

Experience has shown me that being friendly with everyone is best. I didn't have to fight and my friends always stepped in when someone tries something stupid.

A true martial artist will not show off nor want to fight nor bully. Only in instances of imminent physical harm should skills be used.
No way, it will not make you look good. If you are being bullied then you must report it and follow it up through the appropriate channels - bullies are cowards and can be stopped. There is no need for you to be in a position to use your martial arts training to defend yourself at school - your sensei should explain this, if you have a licence and you attack someone YOU would be in serious trouble. You should never kick/attack anyone as a joke - this will make you look very 'unprofessional', and could be the reason you are confronted by people!

I've just looked at your profile and see that all your questions are about martial arts. I think you need to go to a proper dojo and talk to a sensei (martial arts teacher) and see what is involved - it would appear from your questions that you know very little about this subject.
NO! because you can't even fight your way out of wet paper bag! best solution to your problem is to go and find a real gym and train more than one day a week.

ARE YOU A FVCKING RETARD?! I and others have told you this many many many many MANY MANY MILLION TIME! How much more do we have to hammer this into your thick skull! What the hell is your so call "12th degree" black belt instructor which doesn't even know what the hell he's teaching telling you?! Your dick will be like a horse **** after training for a year? You will be a super pimp with all girls if you pay him 500 dollars to attend a seminar on how to tie your belt? You will turn asian if you train under him long enough? GET OVER IT! Your instructor clearly lie, so what make you think yu can trust him?! There's NO 12th degree black belt in ANY system unless it's fake system.

No serious instructor would have class only once a week! You seems to not care about anything but getting your hands on that black belt ad impress someone from your gym for some reason.

You seems to be dodging every single answers that are realitic! I have go through all of your questions and give you some advices so have others. You simply choose one that fit in your fantsany world so you can continue to build up fake sense of secure. You are a very sad person with absolutely no esteem, no self respect, no pride in anything, and can't look at anything with realistic view point. You simply want to find fans on lines to follow you around and cheer for you so you can be the next bruce Lee in your own little sad world!

So either grow up and learn to admit your mistake, learn that you're not perfect, learn how to listens to others who know more than you, and stop living in your own little world! If you learn how to do that you may will learn more in the class and have easier time in your social life and do better in life in general!

Well I guess I will simply throw a crumbles at you to see if you even really listen to anyone or simply those who agree with you! Here's what you want to hear, I hope this get me a 10 points:

Yes you should use your self defense in your school! You will knock out the bully with a single kick to head as other run up toward you from behind, you will flash out a flying kick and knock him out. Two others will run toward you and try to punch you, you will leap and kick both of them. Soon half of school are surrounding you as you amazingly fight them off. The princpal, teachers, and few of your buddies and your crush will be watching you with eyes open widely as they wonder how you got so good. After you whoop everyone a55, you will get all girls, people will respect you, and you will be known as deadliest person in your school. Soon you will get pick to become a defender for your school and you will become a movie star in the future. So yes! Go ahead ad use your self defense in your school, you will impress a lot of people!
Only when its the last option.
I do not wear my gi to the dojo but change there, it is a bother falling around in the loos, I do not talk about my practise outside the dojo except for on here. Now most importantly I took an oath never to use the skill I am taught except in the .. you got it right?

So why you showing off with the skills you taught (what ever they might be/ school/ ryu) keep quite or you will get into trouble is my advice
Look man, if someone tells you to "show me what you know", just tell em to come to the class and watch it after school, you don't have anything to prove to them, your friends or anyone, just be ready to defend yourself if they swing on you, then you have the right to use what you've learned, but let them make the first move.

just turn around and walk off, your martial arts discipline is for defense only, not showing off, even if messing around with your friends, don't use it unless you ABSOLUTELY have to.
Sounds like you need to pay more attention in class. Practicing Martial Arts and "living the life of a Martial Artist is two different things. As you mature, you will learn the difference.
do what ever it takes but dont think martial arts is the answer dont brag or you will get your head kicked in
just dont over do it..
If someone is attacking you and trying to hurt you then YES use your skill. Thats what it's there for. If you are not in danger then don't go around using and showing off your skill.
As soon as the bullies get wind that your a "Martial arts Master" then they will line up to fight you. If they can beat you up then that makes them even bigger. Everyone always wanted to take on the old gun slingers of the west because beating them was the ultimate goal.
Don't become the ultimate oal. Untill you have to use you're art in real self defence, enjoy the feeling of having confidence and not being afraid.
if someone pisses u off beat the **** out of them, dont listen to these pricks who say u should never fight unless ur backed into a corner
best self defense is too avoid situations where you have too use self defense
using locks and holds will be more effective
wow i had the same problem with your friends you have to remember they dont do martial arts and so they are not used to things i found a small tap to me left them with a bruise because id been trained how to do it to hurt them but with minimum effort from me. as with using self defence use it for that only never start the fight if someone goes to attack you sure block them and hit them back that is self defence but if you just go and hit someone because they are annoying you or they are saying things iv always stuck by this rule and its always worked for me:
fight verbal abuse with your mouth i.e. shout back and fight physical abuse physically i.e. if some one hits you FIRST then you can hit back. but make sure that you always make sure that if any trouble does come you tell everything even if it means you get in trouble
hope iv been of help
a major part of martial arts is CONTROL if you dont have any control you should not do it,I do american kickboxing.
