subject: Man Steals Own Tv Set And Asks Why Didn't He Learn Taekwondo! [print this page] This guy had to be wondering why didn't he learnTaekwondo. He lived in Wilmington, back east, and he was sauntering down the sidewalk, approaching his own house. Seeing a fellow struggling under a TV set, he quickly jumped in and offered to help.
You can imagine his surprise, maybe when he grabbed the falling remote, or maybe saw a glass stain on the top, or whatever, that he was holding his own TV set. He looked down the street and realized that his front door was open! That's right, he was helping a thief steal his own TV set!
Now, what do you do in such a predicament? Do you let go of the TV set, breaking it, and throw a front kick? Do you ask the fellow to put it on the ground for a second, pretending you are tired or need to regrip it, and then scream bloody murder?
Heck, the criminal has ransacked your very home. He has gone through your possessions, taken whatever he wanted, and treated your home like a grocery store! Is there any reason to think he hasn't served time, doesn't know how to beat people up, isn't willing to knock you bloody over a television set?
That's the point at which you wished you had studied a good system of Taekwondo. A Martial Art like kang duk won or Tang Soo Do , or maybe even a bit of Moo Duk Kwan! After all, if you want to get in a war with a criminal, you need to be in tip top physical shape, and you need to know how to inflict a little damage while not getting a little damage.
Your best chance is just to scream for all you are worth. After all, criminals don't want to meet the police, they want to get away! That's why they call them criminals, right?
Your second best bet, this in the case that he decides to fight you and continue with his shopping list of your possessions, is to maintain distance and try a kick for the gonads. You should do this while screaming for help, of course. Kicks to the apples, taking out the knees, all while staying away from his criminal fists is what you want to do.
Your last bet, and this is last chance, is to slug it out, grapple, do anything you can to take him out, all while screaming, all while trying to make sure he doesn't get to you. You know, if you study something like Kwon Bup, Chung Do Kwan, anything like that, you are going to have a tremendous advantage. A hardened criminal doesn't have the strength of discipline to learn Taekwondo, so if you have learned, you will definitely have a better chance of surviving.
