    Had to still be a Bill Leonard situation. I just can't see Mike Reid threatening you with violence.

    You would be exactly correct.

    all of you SD people can print and hand SIN Kwang The what i said. He's a THIEF and a LIAR. here i am saying it in a public forum. now hit the print button, copy and paste it into an email. The courts proved him to be an outright LIAR and all of you proved to be DUMMIES!

    Print and Send. let's see what happens. if i happen to fight Sin The do you think he'd use his monkey beaks on me? if JAKE THE FAKE has twin monkey beaks i could only imagine what SIN THE has. wow......ROTFFLMFAO. oor maybe he'll sting me with 10,000 bees.....or get me with his tiger monkey roll. lololol I think i can defeat him with my Dragon Sparrow Mantis Beak.

    monkey and mantis beaks......"now thats some X - file sh1t" only the Dragon Sparrow Mantis Beak is real. all else is fantasy.


    the funny thing is, we've all seen sin the move, i doubt anyone would be afraid of him.

    PRINT OUT AND FORWARD

    Why would someone not be able to ask a question without the fear of violence?
    The way One Student wrote it, it sounds as though the BB was walking towards GMT in a threatening manner. I think your comment is trying to make it seem like something it's not.

    I have never felt uncomfortable asking questions either at my school or Lexington.

    The one incident I ever encountered was at the Sportscenter during one of the BB meetings and this guy, I do not recall his name, stood up and started dissing SKT. I thought it was disrespectful and said so to him. Once that happened, it galvanized more reaction. No blows were landed, just an invitation to leave with an escort.

    I am a former sd-er, not current. Not terribly impressed with the untruths and deception from the organization. Had a situation with SKT occur that called his character into question and I left. Cannot see why anyone else that had issues with him did not just do what I did. No need to stand up and bad-mouth him in a meeting while wearing a gi and the belt you got from him. Just leave. But then, that is just my opinion.

    Thank you. I didn't wanna say this because people would just write it off because I said it. Glad you did that. Keep it real.

    And of course, my way would be more offensive. Something like this:

    If I can't speak my mind in an environment that I PAID to be in, then those people are pussies and assholes. Straight up. Every single guy that stood up and puffed out his chest is an emotional child. It's one thing to ask them to leave and not come back, it's another to do some knuckledragger stuff. It's not the street and I would hope you guys aren't a bunch of thugs. In this setting, manning up is patiently letting them vent for a moment then telling them to beat it and not come back. Assuming you disagree with what they said, of course. I would have allowed myself to be attacked just to make a point. So what, u get stomped out by ten guys. It's not like they have it in them to curb you. It would have been more catered to their movie ideals. No big deal. Lose one fight, the next ones aren't so scary. It's all good.

    In a physical confrontation, the sheer size difference would make it a very skewed fight. Being a skilled midget only gets you so far. That cinimatic "master" stuff doesn't fly when your opponent(s) aren't peons.

    It would be interesting to see both reactions.

    BTW, CA is a big place people. They may not be living next door to eachother.

(Yes, at that time I was a koolaid drinker. ) Anyway, SKT smiled at him and said he thought it would be best for him if he left. Bill Leonard and I think Eric Smith escorted him out of the room. Anyone else in here remember it differently?
    So why frame it as it was framed in previous posts? They reeked of lil dick syndrome. No offense to you, of course. Seriously.

    I'm pretty sure I could get 95% of you to swing on me. In any setting.

    Some people just go with the flow, and others stand up to things they see as wrong, or feel they have been wronged. I'm assuming it took some time and money to be a BB. Maybe he felt ripped off and had the need to take a stand? Honestly, it's the live and let live people that make change so slow. In some cases it works as a benefit, for sure, but in many more cases it causes harm in the long run. I use the same argument when talking about the "peoples government". You allow things like citizens united to happen, therefor it is somewhat deserved. It won't go away until enough people stand against it. This transfers over into almost any scenario. I do not believe SD is completely harmless. Kids go there. People put in thousands of dollars and many many hours. It's just not right to be lied to and defrauded like that. Regardless of whether some of it is good or not.

    I'm not saying that the guy was right or wrong. I wasn't there. Same for how everyone else reacted. As it was first presented earlier was weak though. Straight up.

    Having such a physical advantage gives you the ability to really speak your mind without worrying about any immediate physical consequences. This is a good thing. If he attacks you, drops his ass. If he stands there and argues with you, state your case. Simple.

    That being said, anyone who would actually travel over **** like this is ridiculous. I don't blame you for not bothering, regardless of how you feel about the form.

    My implication is that it is not possible to ask sin the a question about the history he claims. jrq pakua is a great example. where did sin the get the "64" rules and drawings from it originate from? Questions like that will not be answered. If you push you will get resistance. If the black belt in question was in anyway offering violence to sin the or anyone else involved he was in the wrong and probably lucky to not have been beat up.
    best,

    bruce

    Happy indeed we live,
    friendly amidst the hostile.
    Amidst hostile men
    we dwell free from hatred.
