The funniest thing I ever saw involved a friend of mine with no martial arts experience.
It was shortly after high school and we were about 21 years old at the time, and we were having a end of year party at a seasonal shop in a mall. A crowd of high schoolers came by, and saw us in the closed shop (through the glass doors)drinking, and asked if they could come in. We told them politly "no" and that is was a closed party.
One of the kids kept on insisting, and he started getting beligerant. So, my friend opens up the door again and told the kid to go F off, and the kid reaches through the glass and pops my friend in the face!
well, my friend went nuts...opened up the door and attacked 7-8 of the kids. Rapid punches, kicks, back-fists, hammer-fists...it was truly amazing! Mutiple attackers, and he looked like Jet Li out there!
This guy has never taken a martial arts class, but he is a vicious and brutal fighter when bothered. The rest of the time, he is easy going and polite.
Since I don't have that natural ability, and want to get into better shape, martial arts is the way to go for me...but for my friend, he would probably never take a class!!
Funny thing is, both of us are in our 40's now, but this guy can still kick ass! I have seen him do it a few times! |
