yeah my beat downs were ruff. We lived in the country I was a big kid but I was always out weighed by 60 to 100lbs, were 7 to 20 years older than me, and passed to the next cousin when one got tired/bored beating me down (teaching me to be a man)
Two of the greatest moments of my life
When my cousin Dale picked me up in a rear bear hug and said "whatcha gonna do now" I headbutted him with the back of my head and almost broke his nose and popped the lense out of his glasses. He was suprised, and kinda pissed, but realized he had asked for it.
the Second was when I double legged my cousin Rich and picked him up off the ground. I was arround 15 at both times. They lightend up a lot after that. Little bro-do, or Young fu
Both over 6' and 200lbs (Rich was at least 235)
I'm 34 and I've trained for 10 years
I have been doing martial arts in some shape or form since I am 11 (now 25). That included the usually crap :) like tkd, hard japanese karate, aiki jj. Wrestled in high school and for a little bit after. I only truly consider what I have been doing for the last 5 years though to be worth anything. So I have been doing martial arts for 14-5 years.
