Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire TaeKwonDo, the Bully, and a New Happening

Some of you may remember that I put my grandson in TaeKwonDo, because he got very severely beaten by a bully and some of the bully's buds.

Today at school, there was blood in the stairwell, and quite a stir. Bully lost his cool and punched out another kid, right at school. Given the fact that my daughter very carefully documented the earlier incident with my g'son, provided witnesses, and filed a police report, I'm guessing that the bully's career at that school is over as of this morning.

Since the bully lives just a couple of doors down from my daughter's family, I'm expecting that when school gets out, the trouble will start again... about June or so. Well, g'son is at orange belt now, and is on schedule for brown belt by 4th of July. I'm taking side bets...

Throw in some boxing leasons also. Tough to beat good hand speed!

Belt...schmelt.

It's tough to teach tenacity. Assuming the candidate is receptive,joint manipulation is easily King.

That ain't a reefer holdout ploy..................

Agree. As an aside, Hollywood and Americanized versions of martial arts have made what was martial arts here more into a watered-down version alternative to soccer and math club. My buddy has a 8 year old son (who's a great kid) who just got his black belt in TKD. I mean, good on the lad for taking an interest and progressing in the art, but I can assure you that the BB awarded is, IMO, a bit of a mockery in the grand scheme of things. In any event, hope your boy sticks up for himself and defends himself well, but please don't assume that his belt color is equated with anything other than a few hundred bucks of yours for lessons and maybe some self-confidence. The latter not a bad thing, BTW.

JipJap [bleep],will only getcha so far...and that's simply through the door.

'Tis what's on the other side of the door...that's a bitch..................

Agree again.

Say, if it's all the same to you, I'll thank you for going easy with the "JipJap/ChingChong" type talk. It's unnecessary and offensive to some (I include myself here), though I don't think you're intending to be demeaning with your usage. I'm not fishing for a fight or debate, but I'd sure appreciate it.

Good boxing skills are hard to beat. The TaeKwanDo will be best for flexibility and good ground defence. Grew up with some pro- boxers. And take it from me they will ring your bell quicker than anyone. The bully will wake up with more lumps on his head than he can count. He'll wonder just how many guy's kicked his azz.. Funny thing about bullies, most don't like the sight of their own blood! It make em' sick to their stomach and weak in the knees. Once their knees are weak it's nothing but target practice!
Not sure how old the grandson is but you make damn sure that once the bullie is down you tell that kid to give him the beating of his life. He'll never forget who gave it to him and he'll start walking on the other side of the street everytime he see's g-son coming!! Best of luck to the boy!

My last name,is CockWhangChang...and I get teased about it.

I feel your pain...................

Oh we see plenty of kids in the class that just go through the motions. In fact, that's probably most of them. But he's developed a mean punch and a couple of really good kicks, plus they are now teaching him to string the moves together and stay on the offensive. He's taking it very seriously, and has slimmed down and toughened up quite a bit. He is... let's say, "highly motivated". Even now, he's probably about an even match for the bully, who is two years older.

You can waste money on TKD, and you can get a black belt that doesn't mean anything. That's not how it's turning out for him.

It ain't pain; it's something called respect, and decency. I asked nicely, but hey, not everyone can have class. But carry on; ain't no thing but a chicken wing (sweet and sour).

Good for him, and you. Wasn't meant to be a criticism, BTW, just an observation.

That's laffable coming from you.....
You know nothing about respect.

The belt covers about two inches of his ass. The rest is up to him.

Never hurts to show a kid,an out or two.

I'm always showing mine,somethin'. I tell them "these are play moves"...and "THESE...are for keeps". "Keepsies",is a different can of corn and none of it is glamorous.

You don't thumb your cousin's eyes outta his skull,nor crush his skoozle pipe.

Unlees he has it coming..................

Guess someone's still sore about getting roasted, eh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Whatever, Bart. Not in the mood for it today. Besides, you've only got a yellow belt in debate skills as yet. Can't in good conscience beat up on the mental short-bus riders all the time...

Lemme guess...you could be blindfolded with Dental Floss?...............

Wouldn't know. Floss don't work so good on extreme buck teeth, plus my thick round glasses protect my eye slits.

Hey, bullshitting is fine amongst friends; we do it all the time. Best buds growing up were black/black, black/Italian, Chilean/Polish Jew and me, Scottish/Japanese. But from a stranger, it's usually worth a few stitches. BTW, nice sort of biker/mean-looking facial hair. That to make up for your height, or dick size? Both? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

LOL!!

I ain't got nuthin' for or against Bart OR you, but gee whiz that was the verbal equivalent of a haymaker!

It's a lure,to entice Chinks.

Works well.................

Facial hair or dental floss?
