Martial_Artist Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Let me tell you a story:A lion was walking a mountain path that lead to the peak of a very high mountain. As he walked the path he crossed a skunk who was sulking off in the shade of a tree. As the lion passed the skunk the skunk took notice and called out to the lion. The lion continued walking his path ignoring the skunk. The skunk became agitated and challenged the lion to a fight. He called out to the other animals in the forest to come watch as he would defeat the lion. The lion continued walking, paying no attention the skunk. This angered the skunk who began calling the lion a coward and questioning the position of the lion as king of the forest. The lion kept walking. The skunk soon got tired of trying to fight the lion and returned to his shady spot, claiming victory over the cowardly lion, shouting out to the animals in the forest that he was the one that should be king. The lion kept walking his path never giving attention the skunk.If you were the lion what would you have done?Do you think the animals of the forest believed the skunk's claim of victory? Why?Why do you think the lion didn't fight the skunk? Could it have been because he was busy or was there some other reason?Ponder that.

CapitalKarate Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Good story, if only more people would be the lion and be humble. O well.. Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.
SaiFightsMS Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Person who fights with skunk comes out smelling not so good.
ShotokanKid Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Lol SaiFightsMSTKD guy- there's already a thread on this same subject in this section.

Shotgun Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 I have a story..its not so much of a "fight" but more of friendly wrestlingMe and a friend of mine were play throwing each other around....i end up slipping on the ground and falling flat on my back...My friend decides to stand over my head....i then bring my legs over my head and in between his...then with a rough pull i wus able to bend hes knees and throw him forward....I ended up not even using anything i learned from my dojo but more of instinct and wit I'll Save Myself
scottnshelly Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 I ended up not even using anything i learned from my dojo but more of instinct and witSometimes instinct and wit are the most important things taught in the dojo. We don't always just learn punches and kicks, but sometimes learn things like instinct, wit, honesty, honor, humility, respect, etc.
