Man Steals Own TV Set and asks Why Didn't He Learn Kung Fu!

By Al Case


This particular citizen had to be wondering why didn't he learn Kung Fu. He lived in Wilmington, which is back on the east coast, and he was sauntering down the sidewalk, approaching his own house. Seeing a fellow trying to carry a heavy TV, he quickly jumped in and offered his help.

You can imagine his astonishment, maybe when he reached for the falling remote, or maybe noticed a glass stain on the top, or whatever, that he was holding his own TV set. He looked at his own house up the street and realized that his front door was open! That's right, he was helping an actual criminal steal his own television set!

Now, what do you do in such a situation? Do you drop the TV set, breaking it, and launch a front kick? Do you ask the fellow to put it down for a second, pretending you are tired or need to regrip it, and then scream for help?

After all, the thief has ransacked your very home. He has gone through your belongings, taken what he thought he would like, and treated your home like a grocery store! Is there any reason to think he hasn't been in the Big House, doesn't know how to beat people up, isn't willing to kill you over a television set?

That's the point at which you wished you had studied a good system of Kung Fu. A Martial Art like Wing Chun or Hsing i, or maybe even a bit of Tai Chi Chuan! After all, if you want to get in a war with a criminal, you need to be in tip top physical shape, and you need to know how to inflict a little damage while not getting a little damage.

Now, your best bet is just to scream. After all, criminals don't want to be caught, they want to get away with your stuff! That's why they are criminals in the first place, you know?

Your second best bet, this in the case that he decides to fight you and continue with his shopping list of your possessions, is to maintain distance and try a kick for the gonads. You should do this while screaming for help, of course. Kicks to the apples, taking out the knees, all while staying away from his criminal fists is what you want to do.

Your last bet, and this is last chance, is to slug it out, grapple, do anything you can to take him out, all while screaming, all while trying to make sure he doesn't get to you. You know, if you study something like Tai Chi Chuan, a Shaolin Kung fu, anything like that, you are going to have a tremendous advantage. A hardened criminal doesn't have the strength of discipline to learn Kung Fu, so if you have learned, you will definitely have a better chance of surviving.
