And if he/she doesn't take the hit then I feel sorry for that person because we go and tell our friends that this punk isn't taking their hits.

People he me hard, real hard, with safe weapons. I knew right then this was the place for me. Up until then I was playing sissy GAMES like amptguard with "light contact" style combat.

If you want to cause pain, go join SCA. Not all of us are here to hurt others.

I also try to make this a full contact sport. I 'd much rather "die" in battle by a well-placed, hard shot than a couple of wrist flicked whip-sticks to both arms, but I take them both.

And I guess your friend should suck it up, and not be a big *, because this is a full contact sport, and you had no choice but to break his * fingers. Heaven forbid you should hold back a teensy bit, and bend something instead of break it. Why... showing restraint would make you the big *!
(Not, let's say, mature or considerate.)
