First Time And Only Time I Ever Struck Somebody With A Karate Punch
A Karate punch can be a powerful thing
A Karate punch can be a powerful thing. Proper Karate training and you can shatter slabs of ice, stacks of boards and bricks, and even mutilate half ton bulls. You can also make bad errors, such as I will illustrate in this martial arts article.
I had been training for over two decades, pounding on the makiwara (punching board), practicing freestyle with friends, and even writing martial arts books on what I had discovered in the martial arts. Interestingly, I had never actually used my martial arts on another human being. I knew I had a powerful punch, I had just never put it to the test.
I was in charge of a hotel in Los Angeles in one of the shabbier parts of town. One day I leased a room to a pleasant appearing fellow, and quickly learned that I had made a deal with the devil. This guy had a second business of selling illegal drugs. Now, aside from actual medical marijuana instances, because of my martial arts training I won't put up with for drugs.
One sunny afternoon I went upstairs and confronted the fellow, and told him that he had to stop selling drugs. At first he hemmed and hawed, tried to wiggle out, but I kept after him. Finally, he just laughed at me, "The police don't care, there's nothing you can do about it, so forget it."
Stunned, I blurted, "I want you out of here, you're evicted...now!" He laughed again. "It'll take you months to evict me."
I suddenly went calm, and that is a bad thing, for it meant that I had been pushed too far, and I had made up my mind. I sunk my weight into an hourglass stance, energy surged up my frame and pulsed out my arms, and I struck him in the chest with two hardened fists. What happened then was amazing.
Having never struck another person I had no idea what it would feel like, or what was going to occur. First, I felt this enormous weight surging back up my arms and through my body and into the ground...it was much more mass and resistance than I had realized. Second, a long second later--that's right, there was actually a gap of time before the effects of my karate strike were realized--he began to launch through the air.
He flew up and over the bed and into the wall, and he slowly struggled to his feet, rubbing his chest, his eyes wide, "You can't do that!" That just enraged me more, and I started after him, then realized that he had told me something important, "Why not?" "Because there is somebody in the closet!
I went to the closet door and yanked it open, and a naked man stood there shivering in terror. That's right, the drug dealer was gay, and his boyfriend had come to visit him, and...what the heck had I just done? In using my karate punch I had abused all the good things i had learned in my martial arts training, I had struck another human being, and was left with a very sick feeling.
