Example of Real Hardness.

[Mega_Fist]

This is a true story I found on the www.eightstep.com forum-this guy is really cool and hard... enjoy.

---The Big Day Out---

Last weekend, I took a group of my most underprivileged students from my dojo to the Dodger/Yankee game. They are all well-behaved kids and as a 3rd degree blackbelt in Kenpo Karate, I feel it is my responsibility to be a positive role model. After all, many of these kids don’t have real fathers around, so they often look to me as their father figure. It is only natural though, since men as physically large and intimidating as me tend to demand respect and draw attention. In addition, all of my students have witnessed me hitting the heavybag, and let’s just say they don’t exactly want to get on my badside.

The game started and everything was great until a group of loud 20 something know-it-alls arrived at their seats behind us. Immediately, they started screaming profanities before and after every play. My students looked horrified and kept looking up to me to do something about it. They know I won’t tolerate profanities in the dojo, and I certainly won’t tolerate them in front of women and children.

I turned around to see what I was dealing with. I am always fully aware of my surroundings, and I wanted to mentally run through any possible physical confrontation ahead of time. Let me just say this, I wasn’t surprised with what I saw. I saw a skinny Chris Rock wannabe type twig looking black guy in his early 20s, another early 20 something year old muscular black kid, and a large and in charge overweight white woman who looked pretty trashy. The skinny guy was making most of the noise, so I politely asked him to tone it down a notch and stop swearing in front of the children.

The Chris Rock wannabe was not very happy and immediately blew up on me, getting very aggressive. “Excuse me old man? I go to games all of the time and I will say what I **** well please. Turn your old white ass around before I have to lay the smack down Mike Tyson style, biotch!” After that remark, his girlfriend and his friend exploded with laughter, thinking what he had done was hilarious. They both jucked and jived and gave each other high fives.

In my 35 years of martial arts training, if I learned anything, I learned the virtue of patience. I waited until their laughter had died down, but I continued to give my intimidating glare towards the skinny wannabe comic. I noticed he was getting nervous and not looking me in the eyes, so I waited until the fear built up a little bit before I spoke.

“First of all, you will address me as Sensei. Next, you just swore in front of my students again, that is your second strike. One more strike and you’re out. I should also let you know that I am a 3rd degree blackbelt in Karate and these are my students, who you will respect. Also, I can not only hit harder than Tyson, but I would defeat Mike Tyson in a streetfight, so your threat is funny to me. Finally, if this is the first time anyone has ever told you to shut up, then I say it is about time!”

All three of the troublemakers began laughing again, much like the internet keyboard warriors laugh when I make similar statements. “The hell you say old man! There is no way you could hit harder than Mike, beat him up, or beat any brotha up. Everybody knows karate don’t work in the street and white guys can never beat a black guy in a fight.”

Before he could get out another word, I stood all the way up. The laughter stopped as they realized what a large and powerful man they were dealing with. Resorting back to my Kenpo dirty tricks training, I offered the comedian a chance to shake hands and cease hostilities. Clearly intimidated, he agreed and started to put out his hand to meet mine. Without hesitating, I landed a devastating right hand over his outstretched arm cleanly on his jaw, shattering it and rendering him unconscious. I looked at his slumped over body and informed everyone listening that he was now out.

His friend stood up, but I landed a snap kick to the groin with such power that it lifted him off the ground. The fat white whale started blubbering about me knocking out her boyfriend Tyrone, but she made a mistake when she threw the f bomb into her tirade. I was originally going to spare her, but I decided she needed to learn a lesson and landed a stiff left uppercut to her big belly, knocking the wind out of her and ending her screaming fit.

I called for an usher and told them the people behind me had passed out from some sort of drug overdose. I asked for security to escort them out of the ballpark, and they were picked up and carried out of the ballpark.
Everyone around us clapped and applauded at what I had done, telling me they were afraid to speak up to such a rough looking group and admired my courage. Several people said they could tell I was a blackbelt in karate, and asked about private training sessions. I passed out my dojo's cards to all around.

My students had the biggest grins on their faces, proud that their Sensei had stood up for them and demonstrated the real life effectiveness of what I teach in class everyday. I told them if they kept training, one day they too would have the same mental confidence and physical ability to assert themselves.

As we were leaving Dodger Stadium, it became apparent that word had spread about me. All of the various street gang members and supposedly tough guys in my vicinity who usually attend Dodger games cowered and lowered their heads in my direction. All of them coming the other direction crossed to the opposite side of the road or sidewalk rather than risk facing my wrath, muttering things about Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. While those who didn’t know better may have chuckled at first glance, it turns out wearing my karate gi and blackbelt to the game wasn’t such a bad idea

---Conclusion (by Mega_Fist)---

I think a lot of you people need a few terms at the University of life; I am quite similar to the guy in this story (5th Degree in Takeshi Style Taichi Kwondo Judo), and so if you mess with me in a stadium, you can expect a similar thing to happen to you.

Good day.

[bean]

are you serious?

[MantisWarrior]

wow awsomw story!! i wish i can do that

[Super Foot1]

Once again, enlightenment from a true master and warrior.

[zenile]

I love this guy. I really do! Thanks Mate for keeping me entertained at work :D

[bodhitree]

Good job mega. Let Chris rock, tyrone and whale know who's boss.

[Tingjid]

Yes lets applaud the unnecessary and possibly serious injury caused to three people who's crime was being rude. Not only was that a sucker punch, he said he's a role model to those children. Might as well just get a banner over the school that says "That's right children, violence IS the answer" Don't get me wrong, sometimes there is no other option and I have come to the realization that pain heals, but to break a jaw over some stupid person talking crap is to put yourself lower than any stupid person can be, because you're a teacher and there-for shouldn't be stupid and by that reasoning you know right from wrong yet decided that it was ok to hurt someone, this time.

I'm sorry, it's not really my place to judge the actions of others, but when someone is so proud of seriously hurting people over the fact that they were being rude, I can't help it. Yes that's right let's pat ourselves on the back and once again confirm to ourselves that we are ok, that it was ok to hurt THESE people 'cause they had it coming right? I sure wish I was as good of a person as you so that I may deal out punishment as I see fit also.

[Super Foot1]

My teacher says that sometimes you have to set an example. I'm not sure I agree with that but maybe that's what this is all about?

Thank god, wouldnt have worded it as well, sanity restored.

[Ming Yue]

Thank god, wouldnt have worded it as well, sanity restored.

I agree with tingjid as well. I also think that post is a load of hooey.

I have never met a true teacher who would boast openly to his peers about a unjustified situation like that. Also who starts sentences with thier rank? "I'm a third degree whatever and I can beat Mike Tyson" Sheesh... what is this guy, 14?
:eek:

[-N-]

LOL!

This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire) might help.

[PangQuan]

I hope people realize that when MegaFist speaks, those who listen should do so with the understanding that everything he writes is done so with falsities to create debate.


hes a troll.

[-N-]

I'll say this, his satire-fu is very fierce :)

Takes skill to hit all those stereotypes and weaknesses that well.

N.

[zenile]

Yes, he is one of the last great masters left :D

[PangQuan]

he is very funny.

so are all the other names he posts here under, the best is when he backs up his claims with one of his other ego's.

[Super Foot1]

Wow, you guys discredit him at every turn. What if he's just an extreme traditionalist?

You know that in the old days, when a master's honor was blemished(or when he thought it was) it meant trouble. Maybe that's what the guy in the story is like?

Who knows? I'm just naive and young in the ways of the martial arts.










" To attack the pancreas, one must know where it is."

[omarthefish]

So aside from the absurdity of the story in general, the general punk ass tone and a half dozen other problems, the first thing that lept of the page and set off my spider sense was this:



. . . I offered the comedian a chance to shake hands and cease hostilities. Clearly intimidated, he agreed and started to put out his hand to meet mine. Without hesitating, I landed a devastating right hand . . .

Waitasec...I'm trying to picture it . . . I can't.

How does one land a devastating right hand over someones right hand when said person is using said right hand to shake hands?

Both he AND the victim of this brutal an unnecessary assault were left handed? And even if that was so, don't most left handed people just get used to extending their right hand to shake hands with people anyways because that is what is always extended out to them to shake?

Signed,

Confused.

[greensage22]

the real story probably goes more like:

* I asked them to please stop swearing,
they pulled out guns, so I wet myself and sat down.*

I think the moral of the story is: the man who can fight, is the man who is right.

if this guys hitting women just for being "B****y" I bet his arms are really tired
by the time he gets home at night.:D

[Mega_Fist]

Maybe some of you missed the part where I said...

[QUOTE=Mega_Fist]if you mess with me in a stadium, you can expect a similar thing to happen to you./QUOTE]

And I've decided it doesn't just apply to a stadium.

[greensage22]

so your commited to doing the wrong thing......cool:D

[MantisWarrior]

as i was taking a shower i found several interesting points to his story, if someone's jaw is broke there will prolly be blood so when the officers come they will prolly see that and drug overdose never seen or experience it but i doubt here will be blood. how would the "sensei" know who the gang members are and telling others to address him sensei is kinda weird outside the dojo.

guess that's why he is a "master of satire-fu"

[FuXnDajenariht]

mmmkay...im getting up.........logging off.........and walking away now.....

[Royal Dragon]

My problem was his tactics. He's obviously a low level "Karate" guy, and had little skill.

If he had any real skill the whole thing would have ened very quietly with a gentile wave of the hands in a small circular motion, and soft glowing orb of a Chi blast being projected into the loudest one. This of course would have burst his internal organs, made him slump over in his chair and made it look like he pased out. It wouldn't be untill much later during the autopsy when they found his internal organs had turned to Jello that anything would have been suspected.

Well, that's how I would have handled it anyway!! :D

[-N-]

Yah, but he got to play the bad guy in Karate Kid :)

N.

[Becca]

Wow, you guys discredit him at every turn. What if he's just an extreme traditionalist?

Dude, that's about the fourth time, at least, he's posted that BS story... Though it has been a wile... It's one of they ways I track what identity he's using at the moment...:rolleyes:

[JamesC]

The fact that most of you people are taking this as a serious story and trying to discuss what he did wrong is just freakin' hilarious.

I almost wet myself when I saw the responses. Come on guys, this is pathetic.

[Mega_Fist]

Based on factors, I think that some of you are not looking at the whole pie.

[bodhitree]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm pie

Yeah I shake with my right hand and am left handed.

[@PLUGO]

That same piece of sh . . . ah, "fiction" was posted here as a first person event by some shmoe a couple of years back.

I won't bother with searching for it . . .

it's kind of a sad statement that today's troll has run out of steam and is now recycling the compost of trolls past.

c'mon Mega_Fist . . . try harder.

[rogue]

First of all, you will address me as Sensei.
I did find that entertaining.

[bodhitree]

that story and stuff like that happens all the time on that reality tv show











































walker texas ranger!

[syn]

Blech Chuck Norris. It sounds like the Sensei is a power freak. He definitely over-reacted in a little situation.

[PangQuan]

cause your new syn ill tell you

mega fist is a troll. there are quite a few that lurk here.

dont take anything he says seriously, because as soon as you do, your his target.

[Becca]

Naw. You don't have to take him or any other troll serious to become thier target. You just have to respond to one of thier threads, or start a thread, or post in anyone else's thread, or...:eek: :rolleyes:

[PangQuan]

i bow before your wisdom :p

[HearWa]

Thanks for that, I actually laughed out loud with that one.

Can't any of you see the imagery? A guy wearing a karate uniform (with a black belt) at a baseball game, KOing Chris Rock look-a-like, a groupie and a fat ***** in front of his students?

[Becca]

You ever watch those kiddie movies from the early '90s, the ones about the "3 Ninja Kids?" I bet you would see something like that in them...:p

[blackmantis]

I miss Mega_Fist and Mega_Warrior. Really annoying they were banned.

[bodhitree]

You still have JetLisFearless. He's just as good. ;)

[Shaolin Wookie]

Let's be honest, as cheesy as this old thread is, that story......

It's what we all fantasize about doing in that kind of situation.

I'd have taken the route of taking an inter-inning opportunity to go buy the biggest beer I could find, then I'd go back to my seat, but I'd "accidentally" go down the wrong aisle, and I'd "accidentally" spill my beer on his lap as I accidentally" tripped on his feet. And as I apologized, I'd "acidentally" lose my balance and drop a well-placed elbow right across his jaw. I'd apologize, and maybe he'd leave (as he's soaked in beer).:D Now that I think of it, some nachos drenched in that nasty ballpark cheese would help seal the deal.

Or, I'd give him dirty looks, then walk over to him, and whisper quietly: "Shut the **** up!":p Then see what happens.

Or, I'd give him coy looks, then walk over to him, and whisper quietly: "I just love a man who swears!":eek: :D

[bodhitree]

oi you lozers are a bunch of sados. me and my m8 judomaster andy got attacked by racist thugs the other day and i used my judo horse stance kicks on them all. andy (judo grandmaster) was like 'hey why didn't you let me show my skill' and then he tried to fix me up with a bald chick. i was like wtf, then i took care of her with my judo katana....

[katana_jitsu]

A very moving story indeed.

[HungKuenH]

should sell this as a script for the next master ken movie.. :)

[Dragonzbane76]

Very entertaining....sounds like a steven segal script. you should sell it

[SPJ]

in 8 step mantis

or abstracts of several main schools of mantis

yes there are 8 hard hand methods

but there are also 12 soft or gentle methods.

it is always about being powerful and getting more powerful

but it is also about meeting the hard methods with soft and gentle methods

so yin and yang

or play it both ways.

---The Big Day Out---

Last weekend, I took a group of my most underprivileged students from my dojo to the Dodger/Yankee game. They are all well-behaved kids and as a 3rd degree blackbelt in Kenpo Karate, I feel it is my responsibility to be a positive role model. After all, many of these kids don’t have real fathers around, so they often look to me as their father figure. It is only natural though, since men as physically large and intimidating as me tend to demand respect and draw attention. In addition, all of my students have witnessed me hitting the heavybag, and let’s just say they don’t exactly want to get on my badside.

The game started and everything was great until a group of loud 20 something know-it-alls arrived at their seats behind us. Immediately, they started screaming profanities before and after every play. My students looked horrified and kept looking up to me to do something about it. They know I won’t tolerate profanities in the dojo, and I certainly won’t tolerate them in front of women and children.

I turned around to see what I was dealing with. I am always fully aware of my surroundings, and I wanted to mentally run through any possible physical confrontation ahead of time. Let me just say this, I wasn’t surprised with what I saw. I saw a skinny Chris Rock wannabe type twig looking black guy in his early 20s, another early 20 something year old muscular black kid, and a large and in charge overweight white woman who looked pretty trashy. The skinny guy was making most of the noise, so I politely asked him to tone it down a notch and stop swearing in front of the children.

The Chris Rock wannabe was not very happy and immediately blew up on me, getting very aggressive. “Excuse me old man? I go to games all of the time and I will say what I **** well please. Turn your old white ass around before I have to lay the smack down Mike Tyson style, biotch!” After that remark, his girlfriend and his friend exploded with laughter, thinking what he had done was hilarious.

The part of the story he didn't tell was when he got arrested for battery and was made by the media to look like a racist.

[monkey mind]

Right after the "fight":


...Several people said they could tell I was a blackbelt in karate, and asked about private training sessions.


and at the end:


... it turns out wearing my karate gi and blackbelt to the game wasn’t such a bad idea


Quality storytelling!

one time i was coming into the gym, i had just injected 5000 mg of dianabol. i see a small skinny shrimp man hogging my squat rack. i flex my muscles infront of him and say, if you dont get off i will eat your flesh, then rape you. he got scaeres then i hit new pr.
