At least for me it was. It happened last friday night. I was hanging out at one of those places where a lot of kids go. There are fights galore at this place. Anyways, I heard from someone a few days ago that a group of…well…thugs were looking for me to mess me up. They were at the place that I was in and they found me eventually. I recognized one of them that was pointing in my direction and saying something to his 5 friends. I got away from them only to see them again twice before the actual fight began. I took off into the parking lot and they chased me. Before I ran off I decided to employ the ninjutsu tactics that I was taught. Every so often I hid between cars and waited for them. When they arrived I jumped out and nailed one of them as quickly as I could before hiding again. I successfully dispatched 3 of them this way before they finally caught me and I had to rumble my way out. I suffered a black eye, a split lip, and a few bumps and bruises. Unfortunately, I couldn’t end the fight myself. The police came and broke it up. My assailants were all arrested because I was acting out of self defense (also, 3 black guys attacking a white guy). The ones that I snuck up on didn’t get busted though.
LOL. You know what constantly amazes me? The fact that I use to run around with a gang on the Southside of Chicago and never ran into anyone who fought as much as the people on these boords.
crazy, but possible.
Miami is a jungle full of lunatic kids, thugs and rednecks. And everybody wants to be Tony Montana. It was also the murder capital of the country during the late 80’s. I should know, I grew up there. I don’t know if the whole ninja routine is for real but I’ve seen stranger fights myself. Old town miami wasn’t called little vietnam for nothing. It was all cuban and south american gangs. Then came the cocaine and it turned miami into a bullet mosh pit. Miami Vice made it look like an art deco dream, but that was just the sugar coated topping. I’m glad I don’t live there anymore. Although I like to visit from time to time. You haven’t been truley scared out of your wits until you’ve spend some time in overtown , liberty city or little haiti. Few places compare to this in america, life is cheap there.
I’m not in Miami. I am closer to Fort Lauderdale. The town I live in is a pretty big one called Coral Springs. The city is upper-middle class (bourgoisie) completely surrounded by ghetto and lower class places. The people from those areas are constantly starting trouble in my town. The kids who fought with me were from there and had never encountered any sort of martial arts before.
Put a baseball bat or gun in your car.
Excellent point, Water Dragon. Many people who post on this forum have been through the f*cking wars, haven’t they?
SS of chicago is not the safest place in the world either.

sounds like a bull**** story to me.
I’m sorry, but I can’t believe any story that includes the phrase “rumble my way out”.
Calling BS on this one.

Yeah well if you lived here you would understand how something like that would have saved my a$$ in the situation I was in.
JWTaylor.
Not sure if I believe him myself.
If he studied Tai-Jutsu, he would know of the internal elements of the Art.
(see another Thread)
He obviously hasn’t read the threads over on E-Budo about Tai-Jutsu and it’s BaGua connection.
Considering that the Genbukan Lineage Holder is also a Lineage holder in a BaGua style and does teach BaGua aswell.
Even the Bujinkan people tell me that they are internally orientated.
Unless, he does’t belong to any of the X-kans, but rather to one of the Neo-Ninpo styles.
South Florida is wild
I don’t know about the whole ninja issue. And, I don’t really buy it. :rolleyes:
But I can vouch for the fact that south florida has fights occuring on a daily basis. In the city of miami alone there is an average of 1.4 murders a day, it may be higher now. And that doesn’t include all the surrounding areas that make up the metro-dade county grid.
South florida is an overpopulated bustling tourist area with countless amouts of people drinking, drugging and carrying on. Take a look on E!'s wild on and you can get an idea of what the scene is like. At last count there are 12 million residents alone on south floridas south east coast.
Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. And thats all you got in florida, a megaton and a half of people. So don’t be so surprised if someone from south florida is describing the daily fights. It does happen. Count your lucky stars if your own personal hellhole is quiet on saturday night or if you have less than a 3 hour wait at outback steakhouse.
Mr. Abel.
I heard it is rough over there.
But than does it sound likely that 1 would beat 6 that grew up around there??
ugh!! Yawn…
Mr. shriveled up white guy,
Did you not read the first lines in my post.
Let me repeat it for you.
"I don’t know about the whole ninja issue. And, I don’t really buy it. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: "
you weiner
When my kung fu is better i wanna be a VERY bitter sifu, then i can look down on and insult any who cross my path and be satisfied in the knowledge that at least im still a darn sifu!
If anyone has a problem with that then ill kill em, i KILL ALL OF EM!
You talking to me HUH HUH PUNK!!!
WFT you looking at???
Oh its gonna be sweet 
Sorry that had nothing to do what so ever with this thread i just decided to let everyone know my secret aim in life. Please keep it a secret, i want my tyrade to be a surprise:D
thank you , jon, for that burst of utter stupidity.
Heres one for you,
Who in the blue he11 is talking to YOU!?
Who in the blue he11 is talking to YOU!?
Now there’s a new one. I thought I’d heard every weird saying being from texas.
Jon.
I agree it must be nice being a Sifu.
You get to insult People, use swearwords liberally, do ad hominem attacks, add “Sifu” in front of your name and can demand that People respect you.
Pity, that all my Instructors so far have not been the real deal, they were humble, polite and never were in need to show of their skill or status.
Aaah, if we only had more Instructors like
him.
narf narf
HMMM I spent time in the Ghetto..
and I got in fights, so many that I didn’t go looking for them…I was **** good at running, flipping over fences and hiding. You don’t fight as freeley when people have blades.
If it was me, I would have hid and stayed there, and then taken off silently when they passed. Three on one, one at a time is very American Ninja 2. They didn’t hear anything? In my experience, guys that get “warnings” get a face streaming with blood, others make the news or dive into raw sewage to escape.
I was around mexican gangs, thats all I will say. I have no hero stories, just escape stories, some degrading, most of them involving my wit, adaptable persona and cultural sensetivity.
For me streetfighting is about knowing where to run for a tactical advantage, terrain, knowing your environment, trickery and ruthlessness. It is not honorable, there is no bowing, there is no ego. Sometimes it involves folding on the first hit, so they feel powerfull and don’t feel the need to kick your teeth in.
SifuAbel
You could have choosen to simply take my comment as an off the wall joke. However…
“thank you , jon, for that burst of utter stupidity.”
- Anytime sifuabel, i find your posts rather ‘entertaining’ as well.
“Who in the blue he11 is talking to YOU!?”
- Oh i sorry “Mr. shriveled up white guy, Did you not read the ‘last’ lines in my post, Let me repeat it for you.”
Sorry that had nothing to do what so ever with this thread i just decided to let everyone know my secret aim in life.
Im only poking fun at you sifuabel there is no reason for you to react so badly. That was the origninal point in my post and all you have done is confrimed my belief that your a little quick to judge others.
Ive not needed to raise my voice or insult you so please try a little harder with your replies next time.
Jon
