    Default Just when you start thinking you might be a badass

    You run into a guy like this friend of mine.

    Not a big guy as in tall. Has some bulk to him but appears to be out of shape with a soft look and a belly on him. Very, very mellow, you can't imagine him causing any trouble or bothering anyone in any way. Then the other day he took off hisshirt to change it and I saw the guy's back.

    He had like 6-7 big, blatantly obvious bullet holes in him. Like Clint Eastwood's back where he was a resurrected gunman, only spaced further apart. Then the guy he was staying with told me the front looked worse! I can't imagine how anyone could have lived through what I saw, much less any thing worse...

    The guy is apparently impossible to kill. And also you don't want to piss him off, I hear, lol.

    Ha! Very scary.

    Years ago, I had decided to quit studying Ninjitsu - it was scaring me. And instead I took up Kung Fu. I was certain that I was a badass. I was in my angry young man phase...

    I was told to go to a certain bar in the city I lived and meet the current European Open, Heavyweight, Full Contact Martial Arts Champion. I was told that I would know him when I saw him. And if we got along he might teach me.

    I walked into this bar - quite a nice bar actually - and as I walked down the entrance corridor, this monstrously muscular black dude was 'dealing with' three guys. He was dragging one out by the hair, had another in an arm lock with blood covering his face and the the third was being kicked down the corridor like a medicine ball.

    Honestly, it scared the crap out of me. Who is this guy???

    Well, I arranged one to one tuition for three years ... ;-)

    About 2 years later, we were working together at a club, and some guy tried to stab him - he tried to catch the knife!!! Who does that?? He missed and it went straight through the webbing in his hand. Doh! That just made him mad, big mistake.

    I used to work with a guy that set the bar for me.

    We used to have issues with professional athletes getting fiesty. He would take them aside and play a game with them.

    First off he was hugely muscular, 22" biceps, but just 6', midnight black guy, think gorrilla, was his best MA style as well, anyway...

    The game, he would take a finger and place it next to their eye, take it away and then say, "I am going to do that again, except faster. Try block it or react or something." Then he would do it again, incredibly fast. They were never able to beat his speed, or even begin to react. You could then see them slowly figure it out, he can take my eye whenever he wants too. They always seemed to behave after that, go figure.

    I learned years ago that thinking you're a bad ass and actually being one is totally different.
    The guys who never call themselves a bad ass are USUALLY the most bad ass motherfuckers around.I USED to think I was a bad ass, until I met one and he taught me the difference.I wish I could have learned the lesson WITHOUT gettin my ass handed to me but I'm a dumbass.

    The craziest stuff Ive ever seen was our bouncer at the shitty titty bar I worked at. The bouncer was soooo mellow but when someone got out of line he went nuts on them... then back to his super mellow behavior. He never skipped a beat.

    Then there was the "I want people to think Im a bad ass" bouncer who I absolutely HATED. He was the one kicking patrons asses in the parking lot...

    Yeah I worked in one club where after a short period of time to make the sure the guy would work out, the manager would make the bouncer beat the living shit out of someone, really hurt them, in order to keep his job--and also to continue the rep the bar had of being somewhere you don't want to fuck around in.

    The manager used to be the toughest bouncer in Daytona, despite again not being all that big or muscular looking--he was just fucking vicious. Until one night he got shot three times with a .357 magnum in the gut. Now he has really, truly gigantic holes in his stomach. It almost killed him, would in fact have easily killed anyone else, and even if he doesn't fight much anymore, he's still not one to mess with.

    There is always someone who is quicker and/or stronger and/or smarter when it comes to fighting. That's what I keep in mind. Of course, I have a pony that bites so that works out OK.

    He sounds like the notorious chopper reid - from melbourne.

    google chopper reid or mark chopper reid. he is a stand over man, murderer and author LOL he has written many books on his life of crime until he was not allowed (legally) to write and receive profit from writing about his crimes so now he only writes "fiction".

    he has cut off his own ears, has many bullet holes in him LOL.

    Yeah! I have tried to order one of his books, after I read a science fiction novel (set in the not too distant future) that had a character based on him, they explained that in an extra bit at the end.

    But I couldn't find it, not yet...

    Haha, thats what I was thinking. I toured with Chopper though a few years ago working on his crime scene auctions and he was a real gentleman! Him and Jacko bought my son an X-box at the end of it.

    I learned no matter how bad you think you are, there is always some one bigger,tougher, and meaner. I learned a good portion is simple luck, and no matter how bad you are, 3-4 average sized guys will jump on you and kick the crap out of you. I learned to never judge how people look, as some of the toughest people I know, dont look like much. I learned the toughest people dont mind backing away from a fight because they have nothing to prove. I learned those that can fight, don't talk about it much. I learned you may win and you may lose, but in most respects, you still lost.

    That's what I learned growing up on the streets of Brooklyn in the 70s, and it's served me well, and was only confirmed the older I get and recently, as a very big tough guy I knew threw some punk out a club in Boston, and was stabbed, dying a few days later from being stabbed:

    What's the name of the book? I can buy it here and post it to you if that helps.
