Wing Chun: Kid tested, father approved

[Watchman]

Here is yet another episode from the continuing Chronicles of Watchman's Kids. This time, it's Part III: Sandbox Mayhem!

Being the incredible father that I am, I decide to take my little girls to the park yesterday afternoon. After burning their Dad out on constant swing pushing, the Three Musketeers (I have three daughters if you haven't been following the stories) head over to a large sandbox where a couple of boys around the age of six or seven are playing.

As those of you with kids know, it's only a matter of time until seperate groups of kids playing in the same sand box begin to fued over territory and toys. This time was no exception.

My four-year-old (the infamous "Scooter Jacker") had aquired herself a plastic shovel and was busily constructing herself a large mound type structure. One of the boys decided he needed the shovel she was using and, since she was obviously smaller, went ahead and snatched it from her.

This incident, of course, prompted a short scuffle wherein my four-year-old attempted to reaquire her shovel. As I started to come over to tell my girl just to let it go, the boy hauls off and punches her in the eye!

Frozen in shock at the audacity of the attack, I stand there while my four-year-old unleashes a blood-curdling scream and begins a berserker chain-punching flurry that chases the boy half-way across the sandbox until he trips over another kid and flattens out on his back.

Right about this time I unfreeze and get to my daughter as she's about to finish the boy off with a Silva style stomp to his head, and pull her up into my arms.

The boy gets up and starts crying as his parents rush over from the sidelines to brush the sand off his clothes.

His mom, after assuring that her boy is not too damaged, looks at me and says, "I'm sorry that happened!"

Me: "It's no big deal. I think my girl got the better of him."

Boy's Dad: "You might want to think about teaching your girl some control."

Me: "You might want to teach that turd you call a kid to learn how to act like a human being."

With that said, I gather up my kids and take them out for ice cream.

Once again, Wing Chun is proven effective.

[Watchman]

Here are a couple of pics of the Scooter Jacker's proud post-fight bruise from the punch:

Is that the same daughter you posted about a while ago? If it is, she's got a 2-0 win-loss record at only 4 years of age. I don't think even Rickson can match that.

[SantaClaus]

OMG.

She deserves more presents this year, I'll get my elves on it.

You probably know that its not a good idea to post pics of your kids on the net. But I think its cool that she got her first shiner. I have a little one too and the chain punching comes naturally for them, they are already connected and loose.

I have my boy whose 7 watch UFC tapes with me. Before long he pounces to do a ground and pound, he's pretty good at the cross body arm lock too.

If you want, we can arrange for them to get married, but you will owe my familly an electric fan and a milking cow. ;)

Sharky, I should expect this level of immaturity from you after seeing your post titled "Hm." regarding the woman that lives next door to you. I think everyone who unfortuneatly read that post is a bit more ignorant now for doing so. - Spectre

Ryu,

>>>By the way, where in the world have you been??<<<

I've had some fortuitous circumstances align that have allowed me to retire from a "real" job. Since I'm not chained to a desk anymore I've been filling my time teaching, training, writing, and conquering small countries. :D

Also, a couple of guys with some amatuer NHB experience asked me to help them train for their pro debuts, so that's been a project of mine lately as well.

I must do my part for the Wing Chun Crusade against GSD's Jiu Jitsu Jihad. :D

[Budokan]

What an awesome little warrior! Kudos to her for not taking crap from anybody. If there were more people like her there would be less shovel-stealing in the world, and we could all go to sleep at night safe with our shovels in our arms.

Bless her heart. She's my new hero! :D

LOL..that part just cracked me up

Clearly, Watchman, it is time for you to begin organizing a Sandbox NHB event, where 10 and under tots from all nations can come together and wollop each other for our viewing pleasure. I can see your daughter now in her Yoplait Go-Gurt logo leotard, chainpunching some hapless tomato can into defeat.

I'd spring for the pay-per-view, and I'll bet others here would as well.

Some, say, 15 years later I'm gonna ask Watchman's youngest out for a date. She's cool. :)

Sorry Daredevil, I already got my 5 year old working on that. Aren't arranged marriages still legal in Utah?

[Water Dragon]

I also have a 6 month old boy. If you want to start working on another girl, I'm sure we can get a nice contract lined up.

[Watchman]

Yes, they are still legal here. Just remember, since she's half Navajo I get to invoke their arranged marriage tradition - which means you have to buy her off of me. :D

Chang,

That sandbox NHB event isn't a bad idea. The Scooter Jacker isn't ready for it yet, though, as she still needs a lot of work on her takedown defenses.

[Water Dragon]

Cool, I got cousins just outside of Salt Lake City that are half Navajo. Father was even raised on the reservation and all that good stuff.

[Watchman]

Right on. I'm sure my ex-inlaws know them (they are in the same area you mentioned).

[Water Dragon]

They're in Lehi

Watchman , way to go!
When my little girl gets bigger I hope she kicks ass as well!

WD - be prepared to fight for your claim! :)

NHB sandbox fighting? I'll start training my own cadre of kiddie pugilists for this! I'll call my gym .. the Cub's Den, yes that's it!

Oh, and a big up for all the native americans and their cousins. I've always kept in my heart a story from the colonization of America about some finnish immigrants that moved to America. The Native Americans gave the Finns a name that means "they-who-are-like-us". I've always remembered that fondly.

Whoa, straying dangerously off-topic, but whattahell. :)

My son got his first shiner at 2 1/2. I take both my boys to workouts with me, always have. My oldest is almost 3 now and the younger is 18 months.

Both can do most of our warmup drills including rolls, shrimp crawls, and perfect sprawls.

Anyway, the only other kid in our neighborhood is the 4 year old across the street. He and my almost 3 year old get along really well except for the occassional typical incidents.

well, we had just worked on some take downs in class on this particular week. Later, my boy and the neighbor kid are in my kid's room. The mattress was off his bed and they were bouncing on it. The 4 year old gets a little aggresive with my son and his little brother. So, bam, big brother nails a double leg takedown.

Only problem was he hit it so hard he completely somersaulted over the neighbor kid and hit his cheek on the bed frame. Shiner started above the eyebrow and continued under the eye to the inside corner. It bruised and swelled instantly.

Scared me at first, but when he and I both clamed down all was fine. I explained to him that he only hits if he or his brother are being hurt by someone else. He said Ok daddy.

I have great kids.

On a side note, about 2 weeks later I hear this scream from the back yard. I look out the door, and my 2 year old is standing on the edge of the patio looking like Hulk Hogan doing his hulk-up pec flex, and screaming. The 4 year old is running for his life across the yard. But, they are still best friends. They play together every day (usually with out incident).

Daredevil, I know you're playing. But you're getting a little close to the Pedophilic side. I can't vouch for other parents, but I wouldn't appreciate those comments in regards to my kids, no matter what the mind set.

I'm not calling you out, as I'm sure the thought never occurred to you. But as a father, I'd guess that the comment got Watchman at least a little upset.

[Daredevil]

Comment taken and well received. That sure wasn't my intention - I'm just a jester.

Peace.

Don't worry about it. I made a little rape joke once when I was 14 to this girl I liked. I got my azz beat down by 4 dudes the next day. We all do it.

Watchman,
You failed to mention the fact the your little "girl" (I use the term loosely) took my shovel. I only turned away for a second to scout out some quality sand for the pile of sand that I was creating. When I turned back, she had my shovel.

I went over there to politely let her know that she had just stolen my personal property. From there things got a little out of hand, some words were exchanged, and I lost my temper. I apologize for swinging first, but her response was NOT justified.

You better warn her that the next time she tries to take my stuff I'm gonna go straight to throwing sand in her face.
