  1. I was Karate regional champion at the age of 13. Then my master left dojo due to a disagreement with the other master, because the last started to sell ninja stuff to the kids. The master who left was a 3rd Dan Black Belt, and he was fond of Karate. He went to teach in another city, and so I ended up my Karate experience, because I didn't like the other master. Later on in life, in my mid 30, I picked up boxing. And there I learn how to fight, for real. And I realised that most martial arts are more a form of art than combat. I have been in a few bad situation. In one occasion I have been threatened with a knife. I could not run away, because it was inside an apartment, so I took cover from the other side of the kitchen table, where the aggressor could not reach me, and I called the police with my mobile phone. The police asked me where I was and they told me to give my phone to the aggressor. After the police spoke to the aggressor, he decided to put the knife down and let me go. I kept my distance during the entire operation. I would have not engaged in a fight against someone with a knife, I would have used something like a chair, eventually, certainly I would not have fought the aggressor without something I could have used as a weapon. Two other times I had to fight, and I overcome my opponents. The attempted robberies failed when the aggressors realised I was not an easy target. They were both scared of my reaction. Both the aggressors tried to hit me, but I was able to dodge and grab their neck, smashing the head against a wall. When their start suffocating, they begged me to stop. It was two scums, in two separate occasions. These people do not expect you to fight back. I could see terror in their eyes. Do not fuck around with people just because they are smaller than you.
