subject: Old Man Knocked Down For The Count...is It Time To Study Kung Fu? [print this page] You're going to realize it is time to Study Kung Fu when you see this video. It takes place on a Chicago subway, some old guy is walking along begging for change, and he runs into the wrong people. To see the video simply google 'Elderly Man Attacked on CTA Platform (Chicago).'
Now, time for some serious thought about what just happened. You see somebody old and helpless, almost dazed, definitely doesn't have a clue, get the sense knocked out of him. So what is it about him that drives a bunch of young criminals to violence?
He isn't a threat, not any way you look at him. He's not threatening people, doesn't really look like he knows what he is doing. So there is no reason for his mugging, and let's consider the young punk who did the deed to him.
The guy is young and full of himself, probably doesn't work for a living, and doesn't look like he wants to. He's got his circle of friends, all as full of themselves and as criminal as him, and they are cheering him on. So here's the question: is this what is happening to America?
Or, maybe the question we should frame should be, are you going to do anything about it? There aren't any police around, and no one comes to protect the old dude. People just run get out of the way and act like doped up people at a rock concert.
And, here's the point I want to make: nobody knows Kung Fu. Nobody knows Shaolin or Wing Chun or even Tai Chi Chuan. Nobody, even after the fact, goes after the kid and takes him down and holds him for the police.
Now, with America going the way it is going, people unemployed, or, like this kid, not even wanting to earn their way, there is obviously going to be violence on the streets. We see the protestors and the mobs, and we hear the rumors of food riots coming to a town near you, and do you know any kind of personal self defense? Have you ever had a martial arts class, learned any kenpo defense techniques, done a few taekwondo kicks?
Maybe it's time to look into that, you know? If the future is filled with kids doing things like you just saw on that Chicago subway, maybe it's time to learn how to take somebody out with a good swift kick, a poke to the eyes, some, old fashioned Kung fu self defense moves. Well, while you think about whether you are going to survive the violence of the future, I'm going to find a training hall where I can study Kung Fu.
