The Power of the mind

ok so many of you will be thinking that this is one of those i stopped an attacker with the power of my mind, well no it isnt, but its quite an interesting story(at least i think it is, i was in the UK practising with a breakdance crew i was in, and because we wanted an edge over all the other crews, i introduced Nunchaku's into our shows,Plastic of course, anyway we were in a dance studio when in walked 4 guys, couldnt have been much older than 20, and they stood and watched us for about 5 minutes, then the insults started flying, we tried our best to ignore them but after a while my friend lost it, he walked straight up to the mouthiest one, they began to start fighting, and the others began too, the mouthy one did something i never expected to see, he literally picked up my friend and slammed him on the ground, Wrestling style, now this is where things get very freaky, before i knew it i was round the back of the mouthy one and had brought him down to the ground, i was sat behind him with his right elbow extended against my knee,his right writs was bent backwards, my left arm was interlocked in his left arm putting him in a shoulder lock, my friend then did something which finished the friendship and broke up a damn good dance team, he kicked him in the face, i had the guy controlled, so i found it to be worse than barbaric, anyway, how i got him in that position i have no idea, but what i put it down to is this, everyday i go thru the what would i do scenario in my mind, and i have a visual of the situation and preferred result, i also train with imaginary opponents(Yes captain michaels been on the holodeck far too long now)what i mean by that is that i imagine a punch and go thru the motions required to defend against it, i truly believe that if you train within yiour mind, and i mean as seriously as you train in real life then you build up a library of defenses, which seem to become a natural reaction to a situation, i may be wrong and i have no desire to go and get into brawls to find out, but i will say this i have had 5 fights in the 43 years i have been on this amazing planet, 1 of them i lost thru thinking i was Bruce Lee(never try a head height sode kick on grass after its just rained), the other 4 i have won and altho i am not proud that i won, i won without thinking about what i was doing.
just thought you might like to hear about that.

In that case, you're one of the older breakers out there eh?
Not a large crowd of us at 30+.....

What crew you with? I got a breaker friend in the UK. He might know y'all (cause he says the scene there is really small). Been to any of the events out there?

You in a Florida crew? I know a Michigan kat that moved to Florida for a while, think he was in Soul Rockers crew or somethin like that....

FYI for the rest of the forum:

English is not a strong suit among breakdancers. Y'all would probably gouge your eyes out if you ever attempt to venture to some Break forums...

Djemboy:

How do you (if you do that is) incorporate Martial Arts into your breakdancing? Besides the use of weapons in shows? Just curious, bein a Michigan breaker myself.... BATTLE BATTLE BATTLE!!
