I did "runlikehell ikawua"...for two years
jejejeje
naaa, I did like two years of karate when I was like...9 or 10...
Now I find it a bit stupid...doing karate when you are a kid is just for fun...it´s not like a robber is gonna try no mob you and you´ll kick his ass...

Never formally practiced martial arts of any description but my friend who did Karate, and another who does boxing, have given me a few tips.
I would like to give Jeet Kun Do a go though

About 7/8 years ago I was a brown & double white belt in karate. Basically... The next belt was black... yet for some stupid reason I quit.
Anyhow, skip to today, as a pro-wrestler I use a lot of kicks in my asenal (Although I'm nowhere near as good as I was 10 years ago) though I do still use some impressive looking kicks.
I'd love to take up Capoaria or whatever it's called though. VERY impressive looking stuff.

i practised WADO-RYU karate in the 70's and reached 5th kyu, then did KATEDA (tibetan) self-defence in the 80's, and reached black belt! bit out of condition now though, and i never had to use it in anger, fortunately.

These guys (this is exceptionally rare, because I rarely have to defend myself) never knew what happened to them, they have no rememberances of the ambulance taking them to the hospital , and they took a few days to come out of it. Some still probably have sequels of brushing with my safety. All remember the drubbing, though.
I am not as quick today, though

Hmm... youre one tough guy huh..
You mean, like the Steven Segal type of fighting??
|
certainly not a tough guy!!!
but when someone is out for me menacing my safety, then I take no chance, he strikes me once and I make sure he does not a second time, I remove him for a long time from being aggressive to anyone.

I hate violence , so I avoid those type of movies (I think I never saw one Segal movie)

You sounded a lot like my dad there.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Gosh, Friede.. thats rough.. Yeah, you should carry one.

I hope they get a just punishment. I hate that stuff. |
They were never caught. It happened after a Peter Hammill concert, of
all things. I went there alone (none of my friends wanted to accompany
me, because no-one liked Peter Hammill; I didn't know Jean back then).
These guys must have been at the concert too and followed me when I was
on my way to the next tram station.
