 Keeping MA status secret
Being a martial artist i still of course have many friends that do not practice any MA. Meaning they sometimes dont understand the root of it, i shouldnt fight unless i have to. They find it more fun to set me up aginst strong kids in our school. Recalling a situation at a park, me and my friends observed will asopposed boxer was taking his hockey skates off at an out door rink at a park. Just knowing that he did (Or said he did) boxing gave me an urge to test his skills. It was the same for me, he knew i knew MAs. Me and my freinds walked past him slowly and on to the rink where his brother was shooting pucks. One puck happened to go right past me. This is what instigated our fight. So any way he started provoking me saying he was a boxer and he was going to kick my ass. I said nothing but one of my friends spoke up and spouted off that i took MAs and that i would win, he charged at me and i easily side stepped him and kicked him in the back of the knee. He fell to the ground. I stood back and started walking towards my friends, they told me it wasnt over and that he needed more beating. The kid got up and started talking shit aging, we closed in on one another, he threw a wild punch but before it could connect with my lead hand i backfisted him in the face and he fell to the ground. Something came over me that made me want to just keep beating him up, and evenually my friends pulled me off of his body. As i starred down at him gasping for air and wiping blood of his face i knew something had to be changed. This is why i no longer tell of my MA experience to any one, and tell my friends not to either, i still have goting into fights, but on different circumstances. This is why we MAs should keep or MA status some what secretive. |
