You do realise that any practitioner of any martial art particularly graded blackbelts will not use it in agression nor in a self defence manor because of the legal ramifications ie: use of deadly force etc
A real tough & deadly prick is Marc "The Animal" MacYoung he woke up to his actions as a younger person but in his prime made ones like chopper reed look like sunday school kids
The Yudansha from various arts that I know can most times verbally diffuse a situation when it involves themselves without injurying anyone.
Self defence is just that, if facing serious threat of harm they do not need to be overly aggressive, but effective.
I remember one very loud and obnoxious chap being suddenly folded over and being assisted from a function gasping for air, the security came rushing over only to be told he is ok, just having an asthma attack as the Kyokushin Sandan continued assisting him outside. lol
Yeah but if someone uses their martial art in that sort of manor and something happens to the recipient it can get messy if charges are laid etc self defence or not.
At high school we had a bloke who was pretty well up the ranks and being a teenager would attempt to use bits n pieces of what he'd learnt on groups of us, inadvertently did hurt someone rather badly and in recourse at the time got a real pasting from some of us plus there were the official events that caused dramas for him & his parents too......he didn't have the maturity or respect for his chosen discipline. He now has one of the largest & more successful dojos operating in ChCh.
A good mate is also well versed in the martial arts and worked as a doorman at nightclubs in London for a few years and not once had to use his abilities to defuse situations because he knew what the ramifications could be if things turned ugly.
It's like Marc "the animal" even though he's gone a bit too namby mamby PC these days, he stepped back from the ultra violent lifestyle of the LA gang wars to realising its better to defuse a situation verbally if possible before going ape-shit on someones arse.
I most probably know the chap your talking about in CHCH.
Yes I agree, even being a bouncer in NZ back in the 70s was no walk in the park, I was in England (mainly Leicestershire area ) in the early 70s, worst experience was Darts being thrown.
Correct about verbally diffusing problems, amazing how easy it can be sometimes.
His dojo used to be on Barbadoes st near Ferry rd before the quakes happened...not sure where he relocated to, his brother Dean had a beautiful little Aermacchi 350 it was like a piece of rolling art.
when i was flatting if we had a bit of rev up and some tried going noddies we'd throw darts at them to wake them up...was all good fun till some one got themselves a dart gun & started using that
Hanshi Renzie had Seido Karate. actually Mark W had his kyokushin Dojo in Barbadoes street as well. The one guy I havnt mentioned is Karl V. he is one tough dude who was once part of our organization, Not too many people would muck about with him, lol. His boy is doing really well competing in Judo at the moment.
My youngest boy fought one of the CHCH Seido boys in CHCH a few years back at a NZ Nationals tournament.
There used to be a big black (african american) bouncer at the Blues Bar in Christchurch in the early 90's. His name was Larry and I think he played Basketball for the Canterbury team. He used to take people that were causing trouble aside and chat to them, there was no problem after that. He even escorted one guy off the premises and down the street a wee way while talking to him and then let him back in.
Cheers
Larry Hubbard, if it's the same person. Yes, large bloke. Had occasion, as a much, much younger man, to take the court against him - until then I'd never experienced what a truly religious experience it was to get dunked on with such authority.
