Man tries to karate chop a moving train...and fails
Oh well.... He probably wasn't using a deep enough stance...
"A 33-YEAR-OLD man has come off second best after trying to karate chop a moving train at Eagle Junction station in Brisbane last night."

Man it up!
In response to my last post somebody made an oblique reference to this (I think she was calling me a whimp:-)
Gotta love the Chuck Norris bit...

Martial arts monkeys attack!
A monkey trainer was attacked by his own students in what can only be described as vicious martial arts monkey mayhem! In order to make money street performer Lo Wung trained up a troupe of small monkeys to perform martial arts tricks in Eastern China.
Something sinister was happening in this imprisoned monkeys' brains though and this day they'd had enough. It all came to a head when one of the little chaps had had enough and leapt at Mr Wung with a flying kick. the other monkeys soon joined in bopping him in the eye and pushing him to the ground.
One spectator to this said, "It was better than a Bruce Lee film-they were leaping and jumping all over the place!"
A chastened and humiliated Mr Wung punished the monkeys by tying their hands behind their backs and forcing them to kneel on the ground.
Mr Wung is now being investigated for animal cruelty.
As you sow, Mr Wung, so shall you reap!

Fist Foot Way
Anyone seen this martial arts film? Looks like it's funny.
Maybe a bit close to the bone in some of the aspects, but funny!

Never judge a book by its cover
...or a lesson in not underestimating one's adversary.
Worth a watch as 'drag queen', Steve floors thugs on a night out in Swansea. The interesting bit starts at about one minute in.
Does the dragged up victor then scrawl lipstick on the thug's chest? Sweet.
Turns out the 'drag queens' were cage fighters...
(Thanks CS)

The Martial Artist's motto
The unofficial motto of the British and of the martial artist everywhere:
(Note use of King's crown)
As seen in the shop at Imperial War Museum, Duxford.
In case you're wondering the official motto of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is: 'Dieu et mon droit'.
Go figure.

Joel Bauer on the importance of Killing a Guy
This is Joel Bauer...the business card guy!
I have no idea what he's on about here but it's a funny video...I still haven't been able to see whether this guy is for real or not or simply a myth...

Don't try this at home
I was pacing again. I'd missed two training sessions this week due to ill health. Well, it was a mild cold but you know how blokes are. So by about 7.30pm, once I'd put the kids to bed, I felt like stretching out a bit but felt too lazy for a run so I opted for a stroll around the block. Unusually for me I decided to pull out my ipod and pop it on for my jaunt which turned out to be a cool and dark evening.
On the way round I started texting a friend and we got into a text conversation which was fun. Trouble was I soon realised I was absorbed in a world of my own: deaf due to the music and blind due to the texting (looking into a shining bright light doesn't help your night vision).
Now I'm all for bringing martial training to everyday life but I didn't feel threatened: it's my neighbourhood which is fairly safe apart from the odd 'youff'. I remember reading on some MA forum how one guy only ever wore special elasticated jeans and trousers with sewn in gussets in his daily life just in case he was attacked so that his kicks wouldn't be hampered by tight trousers! I think this may be being a bit over zealous and I wasn't concerned that I could've been jumped at any moment!
So why the post? Well, here's the punchline of the story: as I was walking along in time to the music and happily texting my friend and thinking about that glass of Glenmorangie that was waiting for me at home I nearly walked into a hedge! And I don't mean a glancing blow, I mean I looked up from the mobile phone and my nose was a 30 cms away from a 6 foot hedge!
Der.
There're plenty of conclusions you can draw from that, my friends....
