If you ever wondered what it would look like if 4 middle age guys with martial arts experience got together twice a week for a 3 hour ritual beating...wonder no more.          Doesn't look fancy but at least the injuries are real.  Crap I forgot to wear Marpat.

"Beat a negro" night. Actually my digital batteries went out early on in the rotation. You start out with each person fighting everyone and take turns. Then we do sorta "king of the hill" where you remain in until you are beaten and then the next guy comes in. |

Yes. We weren't exactly "Martial Artists" by any stretch, but Back in the days when we were 16-18 we would "Kung-Fu" each other for fun. We'd try not to hit each other in the face, but someone would always get a split lip. It's alotta fun when you pair up in an elevator and go all out!

Maybe you can take come pictures of your next fight and show us what Martial Art prowess looks like... My boss is funny. He teaches Iado, and he likes to throw fake punches & kicks at me to show how cool he is. Today I just stood firm and met his (nearly simultaneous  ) punch and kick, barely shifting forward a couple inches as he made contact. Nothing aggressive at all, never touched him with my hands. He fell backwards over a desk. He was pissed because there were a couple other people in the room and he looked like an idiot. Everybody else swears he just bounced off me; you can't catch the good stuff on film. Looks like good exercise, SA. |

Yeah, it sticks out when I buzz my hair down short. It's a holdover from several years ago that I never got rid of. Kinda a gaijin topknot. |
It would be easy enough but I'd have to find someone willing to host them. And Jesse can come play anytime. |
shave it off. its not 1984 anymore. just trying to help you get more stinky finger |
Well couple things: 1. I'm married 2. I don't worry about if other people think I'm cool or not. #2 Should be obvious from this post.

Thats bullshit. Anybody who posesses a vast array of weaponry, is skilled in armed and hand to hand combat, has 20784 mostly excellent posts, can kick your ass, AND talk me out of buying a CETME has EARNED the right to wear his hair any damn way he pleases. Steyr could wear a Don King dew and STILL be twice the man you are.  Quit tryin to punk a brotha out shizzle. |
You're not Steyrs troll account are you? eta:

We have all that stuff too but every so often go for more reality based training. If you get into a real fight there will be no pads or soft surfaces to fall onto. Being able to hit manage real impacts and hit the pavement without serious injury are things that keep you in the game. |
