Zedrush Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Was with my dad driving back from teaching last night, pulling into my dad's drive indicated then before he knew it had to apply the brakes a car out of nowhere came on to the pavement trying to serve around us but instead collided on my side and then carried on a little bit before coming to a stop. Dad and I looking at each other thinking WTF then as we are abouts to get out 3 guys get out with their chest pumped up walking towards us with attitudes, dad and I get out and all of a sudden their chests suddenly get deflated and they go are you okay mate we are so so so so sorry Dad and I look at each other thinking whats going on thought we were going to have an argument on our hands... Police then drive by and two girls then get out of the car, the three guys say to the police its her fault officer she was speeding round the corner and we saw them indicate and pulling into their drive but she was going so fast she couldnt stop... She admits liability, Police smirk and take down her info and give us reference number and copy of her details. Police leave and the guys keep repeating again and again we are so so so sorry.... Dad and I asked them if they are okay they said they are okay and again apologised repeatedly They leave and I go inside with dad to have something to eat, I sit down at the table and dad takes off his black belt and says to mum Im going upstairs to get change, I take of my belt and then it dawns on me, two black belts getting out of the car as 3 guys approached us no wonder why their chests deflated Now thinking everyone should wear a karate suit and black belt when driving, incase of accidents clears up incidences alot quicker PMSL think you can get em from any local fancy dress shop thanks god for that I might of got my ass kicked Quote
Cragus Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Cobra Kai all the way for me! Only because it matches the colour of my car better Quote
Vik54 Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I find just giving them 'the eye' usually works..........but then I am female Quote
Chris`I Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Cobra Kai all the way for me! Only because it matches the colour of my car better Booooooo! Here's me and Colin Quote
maz0 Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Sometimes don't have time to get changed out of my thai shorts, but unfortunately they don't have same effect. If I got out the car they would have probably laughed at my shiny frilly shorts with huge waist band. Good story though, no doubt if things kicked off, the police would have driven past and seen 2 black belts picking on 3 guys for bumping their car, and you would be in jail! Quote

PMSL I own a pair of pink and silver muay thai shorts pretty sure wouldn't have same effect Yeh unfortunately had that of happened we would of been penalised more as think it comes down to how we control the situation. sucks Quote
Chris`I Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Yup, the whole point of martial arts is self defence, if you were seen to be kicking the £^$£% out of them, then you would rightly be penalised Quote
elfman Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 thats brilliant! im going to buy a karate uniform to drive around in now i think Quote
Roo Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 it is a brilliant way to shut up idiots. I remember a group of these wanna be gangsta types challenging me and a mate to a pool game ( we were on the table ) Reluctantly we agreed but they wanted to do it for money only about £20. They were giving all the back chat, standing really close and trying to put us off then I put on my club hoody. conversation went something like.. them "you do martial arts then" me "yup" them "You any good" me "hmm ok done a couple of tournaments, I can hold my own" them "so what belt are you" me "Im a first dan black belt - hes a 4th dan" They shut up after that and their game went down hill rapidly!

maz0 Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 What discipline do you guys do? I thought karate was kinda dying out these days, with the fame of UFC style shows promoting thai/bjj as the only worth while martial arts to be master of universe! Quote

I thought karate was kinda dying out these days, with the fame of UFC style shows promoting thai/bjj as the only worth while martial arts to be master of universe! Lol UFC actually promotes all martial arts bud, mma is just that mixed martial arts you have to learn it all, BJJ use to dominate in the early days until stand up fighters started perfecting what they call a sprawl which defends against take downs now there is no one art that dominates they all have strengths and weaknesses, Machida for example is background is in Shotokan karate and bjj, he is a very awkward fighter cos of his style and is or was the light heavywieght UFC champion. GSP learns karate, bjj, greco roman, thai boxing and boxing and judo, Fedor leans judo, boxing, thai boxing, sombo, judo and variety of others. If anything UFC promotes all martial arts. Anyone who goes in there without a background in at least one particular art and tries to learn it all together normally dont do well, they become jack of all trades master of none. They all specialise in one art and then adapt other arts to it. Me, I'm a black belt in Pringles, once I pop I just cant stop Quote
andlid Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Me, I'm a black belt in Pringles, once I pop I just cant stop Find it hard to find a good place to start any martial arts over here... been to a few and the 'skanger' feeling puts me off big time... manage to kick a mitz so hard that they guy holding it had to get it seen to in hospital afterwards ... thats after the teacher guy showed me how to twist my foot further outwards... (his fault so!) Quote
