List some of the funny things you have done with your kung fu either in or out of your kwoon. Recently for me, we were doing self defense drills and the sifu said, “OK now grab a knife and stab at your partner. Defender, do whatever you can since you have no weapon.”
I was the defender so when my partner came at me i just turned and ran out the door. lol Everyone laughed at me and i was like “What, you think i was joking?” Now whats your story?
Sparred a very agressive Australian woman back when I did Karate… it was supposed to be fairly light contact. Well, I kept getting through her defence despite the fact I wasn’t particularly quick… well, she finnally got really frustrated, and just clocked me in the head knocking my head gear sidways over my face, then ripped my gi off while I fell to the floor 
Same woman also used to cuss out my mom during push hands practice, lol.

i thought people who did tai chi (or push hands) were a bunch of tree huggin’ hippies?!? 
Walking down the steet one day, chatting to a friend, and didn’t see a guy closing one of those big cafe umbrellas…
He just managed to time it so that one of the spokes was just at my eye hieght as I walked across…
Without even realising it, as soon as it touched my eye, I sidestepped and fired a pak + chun sau up the line of the spoke… just like someone had attacked me…
Was fairly amusing
I do all sorts of stuff at work where I be walking along, someone drops something. It’s not like an entire tray of food, Ive only caught one of those and that was because I was RIGHT NEXT to it, I never move to catch one. The reason is, if I move to try and catch it, and don’t catch it, the server will scream saying I got in there way and thats why it fell. I’ve dropped things off the trays before, forks, napkins, etc and just reached out and caught them. Once, this hot girl was sitting there and I dropped a napkin and caught it about 3 inches from her face while holding about 4 dirty plates. Her response?
“Nice reflexes.”
This guy tried to mug me once for my mobile phone and I beat him senseless.
That was pretty funny.

amen to pounding
Nice story. Hmmmmmm. Well when I first started training at age 10 I was testing for my next rank with my parents watching from the door. I was tiny. They matched me up with a full grown woman all of 300 lbs. That woman mopped the floor with me. She kept beating me to the ground .. I look up at my parents to get some consoling and they are laughing. About that time I get a kick to the ribs. Finally the woman stopped and picked me up in the air by my one arm. She asks me if I am ok .. I say yes. Then she drops me and starts beating on me again. I think I even caught a glimpse of my grandmaster laughing. Well, for 19 years I have been hunting for that woman. I think I can take her now.
LOL. What kind of psycho matches a 10 year old against a three hundred pound woman!?
I guess it was a trial by fire. Survive this and you can survive anything!
It was either that or the full grown men that were testing. I thought I was getting the easy one. Boy was I ever wrong. Hell hath no fury.
Yeah. You see, only a ten year old wouldn’t know that already!
just be thankful the victors didn’t get the spoils – she’d have eaten you.
Yup. Just tucked your tiny 10 year old @ss into one of her massive folds and steal off to the corner to indulge on you.

Eyes and knee caps, eyes and knee caps.
You all are scaring me.
Sorry man, but if I were fighting a 300 lb woman at the age of 10, and she was beating me down like that, I’d seriously of aimed for her knee caps and eyes. Why she was chosed was beyond me, and since the skill level was literally at the opposite ends as was the size, you should use whatever you could. Hell I might even of taken a chair to her too and said “Sorry I was using what was in my environment to my advantage”.
I went and let ppl know that I do SD in this forum…need I say more…
let a really nasty one go in the middle of sparring. 
my best reflex story is going for the jar of miracle whip in the fridge and discovering that the lid wasn’t on tight and tossing the lid away and catching the jar before it hit the ground w/ the same hand.
