Sometimes he comes across websites he likes. Here's one of them: HowtoBeatUpAnything.com. Just the name is funny, but the way this guy Kevin -- a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do -- goes about explaining the 'how' is the reason the site is worth wasting some time on. His latest is "How To Beat Up Daily Bugle Photographer Peter Parker." Here's an excerpt from the post: Um, approach him and sock him in the head with whatever you feel like throwing. He'll crumble up and blow away just like that guy in the Charles Atlas ads said that other guy in the Charles Atlas ads would do. I honestly can’t imagine A SINGLE THING going wrong. You talk about your born losers, this guy is top o' the list. Other get-your-fight-on topics include 'How To Beat Up a Guy Holding a Slice of Pizza,' 'How To Beat Up "The A-Team’s" B.A. Baracus,' 'How To Beat Up Olympian Michael Phelps,' and one of my favorites, 'How To Beat Up The Batman.' An excerpt from that particular skirmish: Let me ask you something, are you determined? Really truly single- minded in the pursuit of your goals? Cause that’s what it’s going to take to beat the Batman. The bad news is this process will take ten years. The good news is, at the end of those ten years, you’ll have taken out the $#%!@^ Batman. That’s a nice little detail to have on your resume. I won't tell you what the twist at the end is, but it made reading the whole post worthwhile. The real fight that Kevin seems to have is with the ticking clock -- he really needs to post more. -- Jevon Phillips --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:15:02 -0800 (PST) From: Jye nigma Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] Flexible Weapons...

Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:41:44 +0000 Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Greetings, I did a seminar not too long ago, specifically on Korean flexible weapons. How funny this topic come up. We worked on Sang Jyel Bong Sul (Nunchaku), Sam Jyel Bong Sul (3 section staff), and Po Bok Sul (Rope Tech). I can't remember if we did more. We may have. I know we also reviewed history, drills, forms and self defense applications. I know one of my students filmed most of the event. I can dig it up and give you a copy of the DVD. It's not professional, but there should be a few things you may find interesting. I know the feeling of craving some "advanced knowledge". And lots of times in martial arts, that means some fun weapons. Trust me, I've been there. Just send me your mailing info to my email address and I'll shoot you a copy, and it's my pleasure. Hope you anjoy.

You won't even think about it because you have trained your body to do this. YOu may not be able to "square off" with your attacker, which would give you time to "think" about your reaction of using small movements as opposed to big movements. The police may also see the exchange as mutual combat which is illegal.
