....to Protect 22-Year-Old Son From Bullies! Source: Mosnews A 50-year old Russian woman has started practicing karate to protect her 22-year-old son from local bullies, the Zhizn newspaper has reported. Valntina’s son, Danila has always been to shy. Every time he went to a yard, he was attacked by his coevals. Once the family even had to move house to protect Danila from hooligans. But the situation repeated. Once Danila went to a yard to throw out garbage. His mother was waiting for him until it began getting dark. She came out to find her son being beaten by a muscular guy. Other boys and girls were standing nearby and laughing, Valentina said. The woman could not stand it any more and started visiting a local karate club. Danila now also goes there to watch his mother training, but he is afraid to try karate himself. Valentina, who works as a confectioner, has already practiced martial arts on one of the bullies. Since then boys have not touched her son and the guy whom she has beaten even helps her to deliver heavy bags to her flat.
I've read about some 80-year old training in some martial art before, and being able to break boards too. Karate isn't the toughest (physically), so if the woman is in good health, she could do it. Of course, something less physically stressing like Tai-Chi could be better if she's dealing with arthritis since it's not so snappy. Hell, my mom got a few belt ranks in Tang Soo Do (a Korean martial art, similar to Tae Kwon Do---which I have a black belt in that I got when I was 16---too bad I'm outta practice). It's definitely possible.
Im black (Only rank 1) in kartae, black in judo and orange in kung fu...Mum got me into martial arts when I was really young to protect myself...cant even remeber half of it now though
i am yellow in taekondo~! Know so many things still but cant do it because my flexibility is nearly half now from that time.......Cant do stretching or kick on the face easily~! but my punch is still good.
That's cool about the mom and all of you but that 'kid' sounds painfully wimpy, he's the one who needs the practice, they should have really pushed him to take it with a private tutor or something.
Don't think I could manage any kind of martial arts - getting out of bed in the morning is enough exercise for me
Ahh sleep the finest thing in the world...funny when I was little I hated sleeping...stopped me from playing now sleep makes me feel comfortable and forget anything I was worrying about its great
i've done a little karate..not any worth of recognition and has all been forgotten. sleep...well, i find sleepig 3-4 hours keeps me going for 8 and then repeat the cycle. works out better than you might think
If I don't get at least 8 hours sleep a night, I am guaranteed to wake up grouchy Hence why my mood on here is always 'dead' ... or hungover :simpson: :blahha:
