Hi,
i imagine most people on here train a lot, and become mates with their fellow club members, their intructors etc. training together can generate great loyalty amoungst club members.
and we've all got mates from other spheres of life.
under what circumstances would you show up if someone was worried about potential violence? what parameters would you apply to a decision to put your person at risk?
bearing in mind it's easy to be mates with someone, but also know their decision making can be flawed in other areas of life.
plus of course it's easy to say 'i'd be there for you mate' but another thing when you get a call at home, go out into the cold and put yourself on the line when you've got family, responsibilities etc
there's always the question of why don't they call the police etc.
i'm talking here about incidences with forwarning, not jumping in when someone's kicked off with your mate a couple of metres away.
i think it's worth deciding whose judgement you trust in advance as if you get a call and mate x needs you round their place right now cos the local knob head is expected any minute; under those circumstances with the adrenalin going you need a framework to refer to and not make one up in an adrenalised state.
cheers
