Don’t Freeze in a Street Attack

For those armchair streetfighters who elbow up to the local tavern after work to rinse down the day’s travails with a few cold beers – here’s some advice. I know you guys, I worked for a large UAW Corporation for about 18 1/2 years. I have watched and listened to your railings about how bad you are, how you did this or did that, to the poor unfortunates that find themselves in your crosshairs.

This usually is a 16 hr a day monologue involving family, friends, work associates and any sort of person except those who’s weakness (a quadriplegic for example) would deter from your reputation of being a tough man. After work the noise gets louder as the barley and hops lubricate the jaw and entice the mind. I want to assure you that being physically large, able to talk louder and faster than others and being a phony tough guy doesn’t begin to cut it around real tough guys.

We sell a lot of self defense products like telescopic steel batons to people you’ve scared the heck out of and don’t even recall. It’s a wise man who is “slow to speak and quick to hear”…you’ll get it..just read it several times. One of these days you may get broadsided by a long forgotten target of your ridicule. Sound crazy? Not, I have seen it too many times (in person) to pull your leg about it.

If you don’t train to fight or at least play a sport like basketball (can be very brutal) or football etc. you may find the explosiveness of a really determined opponent, a terrifying and overwhelming reality, which you may have forgotten over the many years since the playground, where it was “put up or shut up”. A gift card of mayhem from a long forgotten target of yours. I only mentioned contact sportsmen since they may be able to take a few square punches or a full power shot with a baton before they hit the ground. If you’re a bully of the couch potato strain and have no physical skills whatsoever beside casting a fishing rod, you will probably wake up looking at your friends and trying to understand what happened in the blinding meteor shower you saw after you got sucker punched from the side w/o warning.

The best way a man can carry himself is in a humble manner. If a man is a bully, proud and arrogant, he’ll usually be brought “down to size” in time, in a most undignified manner. It’s a long fall from the top of the heap and always a long walk through the corridors of work, after everyone there either saw or heard about your beating, administered by some long forgotten adversary. Most really tough guys don’t talk serious trash. For those who do – you’d better be prepared for the eventuality of a Pearl Harbor payback – up close and personal!
