What it did do was get him in good shape and really helped him develope focus in his life, so its not all about fighting.
When I studied Kung FU in NYC ,200 pounds lighter lol. We were taught, to fight enough to get away and to come out of fight not hurt was more important than being bruce lee. Every school is different, I miss that school they were like a extended family.
I think it was sad to beat up a old man.

Tony,
I understand mate. I'm sorry for going off the deep end. After reading that, it reminded me that I thought I was invincible with Aikido. I even did UKE for Shirata Shihan when he came to the US for a seminar and I was being thrown around 200lbs male, by a 130lbs 5 foot Japanese man. So yes, I know it first hand the cultlike mentatlity of Aikido.
It's also the reason why I get so vehement about Martial Arts that are more like Cults than anything else.
