ValeTudo Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Don't mean this to be style bashing. Just a funny/stupid story to pass along! https://www.darwinawards.com Kung Fu Lion Historic Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed by Darwin (Late 1989s, Australia) A rather impressionable student of kung fu listened with rapt attention when his instructor dramatically informed the class, "Now that you have reached this level in your training, you can kill wild animals with your bare hands!" The martial arts trainee took the statement as gospel, and headed to the Melbourne zoo to test his mettle with the wildest animal of all: the lion. In the dead of night, he slipped into the zoo, leapt into the lion enclosure, and engaged a suitable king of the jungle in combat. He would probably have lost a one-on-one fight, but he never got to try. His naive fight plan didn't account for the enthusiasm of the lion's pride for a tender intruder; nor did it give sufficient weight to the possibility that his instructor didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Zoo employees found his remains -- two arms and hands -- the following morning, with shreds of red fur grasped tightly in his fingers.
aznkarateboi Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Interesting. But I'd like to point out that the same thing would probably happen to a practitioner of any other martial art.
TJS Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Interesting. But I'd like to point out that the same thing would probably happen to a practitioner of any other martial art. no because only Mcdojos tell people that they can beat Wild animals.

Martial arts simply are designed to be used against animals. His instructor should be sent to jail and his dojo burned (or sold ).
sano Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 mc dojo sounds more like kyokushin. because there crazy enough to fight wild bulls. WHO BETTA?? NO ONE!!! falcon kick!!!
SaiFightsMS Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 This thread while funny does not meet the guidelines for this area of the forum. I was going to close it but I think it needs to go to humor.
Warp Spider Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I mean if a martial artist engaged a hungry lion he would probably be history. Martial arts simply are designed to be used against animals. His instructor should be sent to jail and his dojo burned (or sold ). It's not the instructor's fault, the student would have to be stupid to believe that he could fight a lion. After all, they can only dismember you just by pouncing into you, how dangerous could they be? Paladin - A holy beat down in the name of God!
Valithor Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Is it possible that the instructor was only joking? Humour is an important part of life, including both this forum and good teaching practice in a dojo. This guy was obviously a moron - perhaps he didn't understand the joke.. so he became one.. Keep Smiling!
chh Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 His style and instructor had nothing to do with it. It's just natural selection in action.
