Kwai-Chang Cain,
I think you know my answer to this question already.

I copied this from Machado Brothers (my instructors)web site.

The Machado Brothers have developed their system of jiu-jitsu (gentle art) over the last 25 years. The jiu-jitsu they learned in Brazil has been refined by their clan into a modern and unique style which is increasingly popular in the United States. Chuck Norris has called Machado Jiu-Jitsu "the style of the '90s."

Emanating from Brazil, their family (Gracies)has demonstrated the effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in many "no rules" tournaments. The Machado Brothers, advancing their spirit of a top-quality fighting style tempered with humility and friendship, have kept away from these types of violent and decisive exhibitions. They have demonstrated their superiority on the mat, winning numerous Brazilian championships and national and world titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Russian sambo and even western wrestling. The
system is rooted in one-on-one ground fighting, achieving superior position for joint locks, chokes and strikes.

Since basing themselves in the United States, the Brothers have continued to develop
their grappling style, branching out into all styles of grappling in search of new
techniques and concepts. Rigan Machado remains unbeaten in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in
more than 13 years of competition. He also placed second in the 1994 Sambo World
Championships. The numerous victories of the Machado brothers are amplified by the
success of their American students. The Machado team has won more medals than any
other American-based team and boasts five American-born and trained black belts, all
top international competitors.

The Machados' philosophy is not to prove or impose their system onto other styles or
martial artists. Their main concern is to share what they have, always with their minds
open for new ideas. This attitude has helped the Machados to establish themselves in
the martial arts community and given them many friends and followers. Their attitude of
balance is reflected not only in the way they fight, but also in the healthy lifestyle they
have adopted since childhood.

Peace,

i read practically anything i could get my hands on back then, from books on aikido, ninjitsu, muay thai, jeet kun do, chi kong, kung fu, tai chi chuan, etc.

Dude, that wan't me, that was my 3-year-old, half-retarded, inbred red-headed step-sister that you hit (don't pretend that I didn't have to have my mom drive you to the hospital to have your frail wrist and finger bones set afterwards either). I probably would have smashed you like the bug that you are, but I felt kinda sorry for you... I mean, yeah, you did get the first hit on a 3-year-old girl, but when she rammed that Tonka truck up your ass afterwards... ouch... I just didn't have the heart.

Don't go fronting just cuz' I'm usually not here on the weekends buttmunch. heheehe

"BITCH! You can't do this to me!" Silvio

I've only been in 1 fight, in 8th grade, and I honestly did win it. Little Tom Perrault came up and pushed me into a cement wall, and then I grabbed his head and threw him into the same wall, then the assistant principal broke it up. That's all.

I remember one Saturday nite, myself and 3 friends were out drinking and we got into an
argument with these guys in the carpark at Mac's (this was a long time ago!). I'd been training about 3 years at this point and thought I was pretty cool.

Well, I have a couple of months of basic Karate, and some Judo, which I really like a lot. I will do some more of it next year. It's nice to be ready for situations like what happened to me last week (for those that read my thread...)

------------------
"Mr. Phillips, are you honestly telling me that people are really going to believe that I'm the 'before,' and he's the 'after'?"

In the old days my fighting technique used to consist of a push kick to the knee to unbalance them, a strike to the head/face, then grab a finger or hand and begin snapping joints (fingers,wrist, elbow). But I have too much to lose for that now. I would not get into a fight anymore due to the consequences - legal etc. Even if you win you lose when the lawyers take your house, you serve time for aggravated assault, etc. If I had to fight this is what I would do (and I almost used this recently when some son of a bitch screwed me out of a business deal in which I stood to profit $30,000) :
1) Walk away with a smile on your face. Show yourself friendly. Say NOTHING to NOBODY.
2) Buy : envelopes, typing paper, a sponge, latex surgical gloves.
3) Go to a Kinkos and use one of their computers to print up a letter.

The letter is to be written to some recently convicted crime lord. At the time I got screwed in a business deal a famous Mafioso out here got convicted for a huge sale of XTC. More recently the leaders of a very violent gang got busted and are in jail for the holidays.

The letter reads : Dear <violent gang leader>
I think you are a bag of shit. Actually your mother is the bag of shit, your are just the stink coming of that bag of shit. In fact your father was a bag of shit, your mom is the worm that ate that bag of shit, you are the crap coming out of that worm. May Heaven forgive the condom maker that created the defective rubber that broke when you were concieved. May Heaven forgive your dad for getting the wrong hole when he was aiming for your mom's ass. <and so on - you get the picture>

signed
<the name of the son of a bitch who wants to fight you, for the sake of this we will sign it with one of the board members names>
Guitarzan

4) Gain access to a copier and run off 365 copies of the letter. Wear rubber gloves to handle any paper you make copies with. You do not want any of your finger prints on the letter.
4) Put the letters in 365 envelopes. Do not touch any of the envelopes with your bare hands, use rubber gloves (remember - finger prints).
5) Seal all of the envelopes with a sponge and water (do not lick them - remember DNA evidence).
6) Send one letter a day for an entire year until the gang leader has someone on the outside take care of your mark.

------------------
Many things in life will catch your eye, but few will catch your
heart. Pursue those
