There’s a guy who rides his bike around the neighborhood my school is in. He wears a complete Army Ranger uniform he must have gotten from a surplus store, complete with a beret. He also duct-tapes the ankles of his pants to keep them from getting caught in the bike chain. He stops in at least once a month to watch class for about 5 minutes, then takes off. I call him Captain and he seems to like that.
One side of my school is all open windows. In the summer, a lot of guys train with no shirts. There’s a creepy guy who lives in the apts behind us. He used to stop and rub his nipples while watching people work out, but I asked him to leave, so now he just walks past about 20 times a night and sort of nonchalantly gets an eyefull.
There is a gymnastics studio in the next building. One of the moms (fat) always parks in front of my school while her kids are in gymnastics and pretends not to watch us for an hour.
Don’t hate man, fat chicks need someone to drool over too!!!
In all seriousness, there are some bat shit crazy ass sick mofos in this world. Just make sure none of these “idiots” are dangerous or pose a threat to anyone in your school.
As I’ve mentioned before, I do some work in psychiatric emergency response. There are several fellow responders that we refer to as ‘psych magnets’. They just seem to attract weird.
Maybe you’re a psych magnet, MK. That would explain a lot of things.
I think Martial Arts are a “psych magnet” in general, and Kung-Fu especially.
They like the weapons, fancy uniforms, mysterious animal forms, chi-gung,“sparklies,” etc. It seems to attract not only “artistic types,” but Trekkies, Ren Fairies,and Larpers.
MK, I’ll go you one better;
This guy has been coming into my school every few years since I opened (1985-6)
Fat black dude…about 6’ 300 lbs or so..kinda slovenly.
Anyway, he claims to have studied “Sha-lin Kong Foo from a monk,” can’t pronounce his name (he sez) mind you, this is way before guys like Shi Yan Ming et al, came to the US.
Another year he comes in and says he learned Ninjitsu from Frank Dux.
All the time he never realizes that I recognize him, and see through his bullsh1t stories.
He always asks me what rank he’d be in my school. I always tell him, white belt.
[QUOTE=Yao Sing;1159690]Invite him in and have an advanced student beat the crap out of him, video tape the fight plus dragging the body out the back door …
Oh wait, someone did that already. :o[/QUOTE]
What teacher had a student beat a visitor? That sounds criminal. Any lawsuits?

Some hillbilly krotty dude had one of his BB’s beat the living snot out of a mentally challenged homeless dude. There was a whole circle of pathetic going on. really, not the best example of humanity from any of the people involved and best left in the wtf files.
I get all the ones that have no monehs. Atleast once a week I have a someone (both men and women) come into my school and ask about classes. I ask them what’s their work schedule like, do they need morning or evening classes etc. First thing that comes out of their mouth is:
I am unemployed
I ask: How you going to pay for classes?
Don’t worry I got monehs
But they never join…
Next wierdo is the type that states they will be my best Hung Gar student ever! A guy named Booby Youngblood either calls or comes up to the school and talks crap about how is going to train like Gordon Liu in 36 Chambers and will be the next Wong Fie Hung etc. This started back in 1997. He still calls or comes around every once in a while and even has paid for some lessons (but never showed for his classes).
over the years I have come across amny different wierdos at my Kwoon.

They didn’t just beat the living snot out of him, they killed him. The advanced student stomped on his head until it broke, basically. Then they dragged him to a dumpster out back.
I don’t believe anybody was convicted, even though there’s video of the incident freely available on the web (including the murder). I seem to remember the guy in charge of the studio was a former marine that was tight with local law enforcement.
I could be wrong. It’s fuzzy. Guy’s name is Bobby Jo Blythe. I don’t really want to Google-research further, it’s not a story that brings a smile to my face.
