In earlier days, it was required that a bodybuilder also be an athlete. In order to compete in the regional and Mr America contests, you had to participate in another sport and demonstrate porfiency. A lot of the fellas chose Olympic lifting. Others practiced Judo. Personally, I studied Kenpo Karate. I began while stationed in Asia. A couple of buddies and myself would lift weights all week then head into the village on Saturdays and study with Jin Hee Park. After I was stationed in Hawaii, I continued lifting intently and trained with Professor Chow. Arriving to California, I received my Black Belt under Professor Tracy. Two days later I bench pressed five hundred pounds. Karate has taught me much in this life. It has taught me self respect, respect for others, and of course has taught me how to defend myself. I remember back in the seventies going into a disco one night with a young gal who I was screwing, when a couple of colored fellas tried to rob me in the mens room. I kicked one in the face and smashed the other one with a hammer strike. Then there was the time in Oakland when I caught a couple of them trying to swipe the wheels off my Trans Am. I broke one's face with a side kick and Karate Chopped the other in the neck. Those two howled in pain. The point is my muscles have always been more than show pieces.

Many young men of my generation were inspired to learn the mysterious fighting arts of the chinamen by the King of Rock and Roll.

You are lame now STFU

Only two points that stuck out to me were:
"Couple of black fellas tried to rob me in a bathroom"
"Caught a couple more of them trying to swipe the wheels off my Trans Am"
Several follow up questions if you will,
What were these dark skinned fellas trying to take from you in
the bathroom , did they come at you from "behind", and did the Trans Am have a bird on the hood?
Eagerly awaiting your answers.

They tried to approach from both sides as I combed my hair in the mirror. One of them was armed with a knife, so I used a quick technique to disarm him at which time I executed a roundhouse kick to the side of his face.
Yes, it was a Black 1977 Trans Am with the eagle emblazoned on the hood. Hell of a car.

I never really go through old threads but now I see the same guy has been here for at least 5 years doing the same routine. Mental illness of peace.
