Cue all the idiots who think they were bitten by a radio active spider but in reality would just end up getting slapped around themselves.

Everyone in this thread needs a slap. Right now sit back in your chairs and give yourselves four good slaps across the chops. I just did 4 on myself, it's really not that bad.

Quite invigorating actually.

i just said this to someone on iCQ...

this is absolutely true. i started training very hard. 3-4hrs a day, 5-6 days a week in Go Ju Ryu. i wanted to be Bruce Lee. i wanted to have the fastest guys come up to me and throw everything they had and be able to block it.... just like in a movie.

i got to that point. in fact, my biggest problem became that i was too comfortable with defense (which obviously won't win a fight)

the whole time i felt weird.

like something was wrong.

i became increasingly aware that someone was very wrong. felt wrong. i couldn't put my finger on it.

i was sparring with my friend who was a second degree black belt and won countless tournaments at full speed and power and he was coming at me with everything and i was calmly blocking everything he had with soft deflections (hence the "hard/soft" = "go/ju")

i realized at that moment that the reason i was calmly deflecting everything was that i had no real fear that he was going to actually connect and knock me out.

i realized at that moment what a huge, false sense of security i had and began to understand that it wasn't just kung fu and all the goofy shit that was mostly fake... but that as you said... anything that doesn't train with live full speed and full contact is basically fake.


thats why i got away from Shotokan and Go Ju and got into boxing and kick boxing. you know where you stand. you fuck up... you get stung hard. you get knocked out. you get used to hitting and getting hit. you get used to people jumping right up in your face and trying to knock you out. you don't get that with any other martial arts.

... and this guy above... who's going to use his "wrestling" because he doesn't believe in fighting.. uhm... yeah. seen many of those come and go. they are always the first pussies to quietly sulk out of the gym when things get real and someone actually hits them or when things don't go according to plan as happens with actual fights.

i'm always amazed that idiots can train to fight.. but then never fight or claim to be against fighting. or better yet go the kung fu route and start talking about how their techniques are just too dangerous for tournaments or whatever.

That parent has no reason to be outranged because that parent is not a good parent. I feel bad for the child that it got hit and is being raised by such a lazy POS. Crying non stop in public, ugh.

funny how my first thought would have been "maybe this guy has PST from combat experience... and maybe he's not only completely unhinged but an accomplished killer" ..

news is good readin though

If the kids had been with their father, that crusty old fuck wouldn't have said or done shit....but because it was a woman with her child, he felt like a big man slapping a 2 year old...

everyone of you idiots that talk about all this pain you'd inflict on this guy....yeah, lovely...he slaps your kid, you injure/maim/kill this douche and then YOU go to jail and your kid now gets to have one less parent in their life for the next couple years...


it is funny that a thread about an old fart going off on a toddler has sparked all of the keyboard warriors to come out and want to fight each other...I swear, if I ever go to another convention, I'll just take a shitload of foam keyboards and let you pussies duke it out with each other...

I picked my son up who was crying but not hurt, and went after the other kid who looked about 15 or 16 and was quite large. When I caught up with him, the kid was screaming and going haywire and what I guess was his granddad was restraining him. The older guy apologized bigtime, and said the boy is autistic and that he had got away from him and just acts crazy sometimes. I told the old guy to keep the kid under control, or someone will beat the living shit out of him one day for doing what he did -- and then left it at that. I figured the old guy's life is pretty much fucked looking after this kid, and me going ballistic or getting violent would serve no purpose.... :2 cents:

I get the feeling that a lot of you haven't spent much time around 2 year olds. There's no reasoning or bargaining with a crying toddler. No, you shouldn't let your kid scream at the store. I don't have kids, don't like them, don't want them, and I'm just as annoyed as the next person when it happens. But the bottom line is that you don't put your hands on a random kid.
