And whistle.  That was the technique that Grand Master Durant taught.  He
said, "No one can hit a whistling man."  :-)

Although my sensei *also* noted that it would be different in the gun
wielder was demanding my child.  Yes, there were techniques, etc. that
could be employed against a man with a gun.  But they were also *very*
dangerous and risky, since a man with a gun has a significant advantage. 
Risking your life for your wallet is not worth it.  Risking your life for
your daughter...well, that's different, isn't it?

And behold!  In UA, we have Passion flipflops to represent such an
action.  Moreover, it fits perfectly into the UA theme of "What are you
willing to risk?"  I risk my life for:

--my wallet
--my daughter
--my pride

Each choice says very different things about me.

It's not a bug.  It's a feature.
