Before he died I used to use my snake fist on my cat Ty (the american guy) who responded with tiger claw. he had great “explosive power” a la Shaolin. My new feline, Styles, is more into the groundfighting thing. He has these huge paws that he uses to bat and step on things.
Pets
I wrestle with my dog, he’s getting to be pretty good. I practice push hands with him, too, he’s pretty good for a dog.
Another dog pic
This was a boxer that belonged to an ex-girlfriend, this pic was taken right as he punched me in the jaw, haha.
Boxers are awsome dogs…
Paul,looks like he had the advantage there…
Neighbours dog used to play soccer with us pretty well, but never in my life have i ever considered m.a. with any pets , you guys are something else.
Have you ever seen the mokey doing tkd clip?
I have a pet Rhinocerous named ‘Nosy’ I do weapon sparring with.
Okay, that’s an outrageous lie. He’s really a unicorn named ‘Shish Kebab.’
Boxers are less tame than wolves and have no place in society. When I was 6, there was this dog across the street that was as good as lassy, all the neighborhood kids came to play with this dog every day. One day while I was playing with it, the neighbor’s boxer came charging out of the backyard and ripped right into this dog, almost killing it. If the victim dog was smaller or it’s owner didn’t run in and kick the other dog in the face (he was a karate instructor) that dog would have died, or if the boxer came after me, I would have died. There are countless other reports of spontaneously violent behavior from boxers, it’s only a matter of time before they’re banned.
KFG -
This doesn’t jibe with the three loving, gentle boxers I’ve personally known and owned. They are a breed that is very protective of their homes and family, but Buck (my first boxer, and the one that took on a Moose for fun in a story I’ve related in another thread) was easily trained to drop to the ground whenever he met another person or dog while we were on our walks. He never started a fight with a person or animal, except for that moose and the mailman.
When I workout on my heavy bag in my home Dojo my do goes nuts and attacks the bag untill he can no longer contain himself. He then begins to attack me untill I kick him out.
Animals
Joe, if there are any clips of animals doing funny stuff on the web, I have it. I’ve never known a mean boxer either, CSN. That one in the pic^ was the sweetest dog in the world. He helped raise two kittens, he was their big brother. He was also my dog’s best buddy for a while. If you notice in the pic, he got a good face shot in, but I had my hand on his throat, ready to go, hehe. I don’t really believe the whole breed thing. Sure, some dogs are going to be “more likely” to be mean, but if you raise them to be gentle loving dogs, they won’t be. My dog(the one in the cowboy hat and sweater, haha) is Chow, Pitt Bull, and a little lab. As soon as I tell people what breed mix he is, they assume he’s mean, but he’s not, because I raised him not to be violent.
Yes, if you raise a dog well it will turn out great, even a boxer. However, if an owner doesn’t discipline a dog well at a young age (which is the case with many owners), the dog will turn out to be mischevious, and in some cases (mainly the boxer’s case), violent. Also, if a stranger looks at some of the larger breeds straight in the eye, even if the person is petting the dog, the dog will see this as a challenge and attack. The dog most famous for this is the boxer.
I’ve worked at an animal hospital for the past two and a half years, I’ve seen how mean these things can get, and although they can be great dogs if the owner trained it well, they should still be banned. Wolves can be great pets too, right?
I wrestle my dog, and cats… They actually lose 
I tired grappling with one of my cats and she clinched on to my hand, it was an unusual lock that I’ve never seen before, although it was quite effective and I eventually had to tap out. My other cat is lazy and submits from the start.
Hehehe, cats are the real proof that open hand is better than fist…plus they got that taiji thing to their strikes 
Anyway, I have to say that Boxers rule…when I was little my bodyguard was a boxer named Shiva…she was so gentle, yet no one could approach me without her permission…
I’m sure she’s in dogs’ heaven now sniff
I did extended research on dog breeds before I got my last one (as I have two small boys) Every place I looked strongly reccomended boxers for their easy going, non violent nature. They are considered one of the best breeds for kids as they will put up with **** near everything and love it.
when I was in high school, I would “train” at home with my dog. He’s fast as heck, and just as greedy and possessive. I would use this to train. I’d put something of his, like a ball in front of my foot, and I’d roll it around to tease him with it. he’d creep up, trying to get close enough to bit my shoe and take the ball. Soon as he lunged, I’d sidestep. Believe it or not, it actually helped. Also, while rough housing, I would swing lightly at him. eventually he caught on and started ducking under my swings, then lunging in at me. He used this in a fight! One day I was walking him, and this kid of about 7 was approaching from the other direction walking a big german shepherd (My dog is a ****erspaniel) When it saw us, it broke away from the kid and rushed towards us. my dog stepped in front of me and started growling. Soon as the dog got up to us, it lashed at my dog, who ducked under it, just as he did while we were playing. he then lunged forward and bit the shepherd’s leg. The dog decided that it didn’t want anymore and backed off.
My dog is one tough cookie. I bet JWT’s weenie dog would still kick his a§§ though.
Um
My cat I box a little with. It doesn’t guard so much as counter, and man that thing can rip!
As for grappling, that thing’d take out Royce Gracie man. Clings with it’s front paws, and kicks madly with its back to my wrist, in an attempt to rip a vein I think. It goes by the name of Darth at the moment. When I dig up a photo, I’ll post the evil little biatch on here for all to see and fear.
Here’s the pic.
See below.
Um
Believe it or not, that’s the wrong photo! Christ - I wish I could grapple with that every day! Wooh.
OK, let me find the REAL photo. Sorry about the inconvenience that must have caused. I’ll remove it if you like.
