Martial arts!

Chmielewski:
Funny how I started training carate when I was 10 - in the same age as you :) . But then there were troubles... Arter that I tried aikido. It was... well, after 7 years I decided that I didn't liked it. Whatever.
Now I'm training kickboxing and I just love it.

Schwalbe:
I had been training some styles of martial arts years ago. After I had my ribs and fingers broken by thugs I decided, that hammers, bottles, and motherfucking lead pipe are more efficient. They are. And despite looking skinny, I sowed terror in thugs from my neighbourhood and built legend of - that's a serious quote - "Diabła w ludzkiej skórze" [ Devil's Embodiment ].

...Nice.
...It's even better to see when a bunch of meat and muscles curls and suddenly choose to walk FAR away from me.

RedRoach:
Hope you've got a large enough platform Schwalbe, because here comes the salute train!

I've alwas dreamt of being in a situation where I could use martial arts. Never have been in a "life-threatening fight-requireing" scenario. I did a bit of tae-kwon-do, then ran out of free time for it. I mess around at home though, finding really useful ways to fight with things. It's hard to fight with a broom when the bristles keep tickling your elbow.

Although it sure as hell doesn't count as a martial art, I'd like to include "Street Fighting" as one of my skills, despite not ever being on the street.

Schwalbe:
No, you don't want to. There's no glory having shit beaten outta ya, no matter how skilled are you. Skill is shit when you are distracted and basterds have knives. I'm not a kid of the streets or anything like this, but one time they took one step too far and I had to make sure I can walk nearby streets without hesitation or fear, like normal people in normal neighbourhoods do. There's nothing to salute, cause in such case you are supporting extreme bestiality and primal instincts, fueled with misanthropy and detest. Is this a way? No.

RedRoach:
I guess. Hmm. It would be bad. I just feel... no.

I guess it could be offed. Hm.

Yeah. Thanks for letting me having something to think about.
