[s.w.c]

i understand disciplines very well , i use to work the door for some years and we all had different ones under our belt, one clever sod even took bits from six different one and put it into training doorman in close contact, even trained women at it too.

[s.w.c]

a fight to me and the gracie family is a fight! no rules no time limit no ref no points no judges scores so...

bite off hears pull off balls and cock gouge eyes anything ...check this link out...

try watching a travellers fight not the far go stand up knock em out but a dirty go

[Ste M]

surely by constantly going on about being a martial arts expert then your trying to intimidate others? i would prefer to just smile and carry no my work than start rolling round on the floor ahving a bit of a tussle, the bigger man always smiles and walks away in my opinion, the only time i would 'fight' back is if im backed into a corner.

When i was younger i trained for years in a martial art, i found that i never had to mention this to anyone and it actually taught me a lot of self control. There was never any need to tell other kids or people i did it, the way i conduct myself usually kept me out of trouble and till this day ive never had to use what i was taught, after all i learnt it for one reason, self control and to be able to protect myself. if i was to ever attack someone when i was licencesed then i would lose my licence

as i said early martial arts are good for your health and state of mind.
thats just billy-smart circus fight, not a travellers real fight they have two types a fare go and a dirty go, a fare go is stand up knock them out with some rules like your link a dirty go is bad news

I've been threatened by other WC's a few times now. I find it really amusing because you don't find this with other trades, plasterers, plumbers, sparks etc so why WC. I've been window cleaning for a few years now and I've been toying with the idea of investing in a Wfp system. But sometimes hearing these stories I think what's the bloody point.


GB what Gracie club do you train at? Who's your instructor?
I have to laugh at what you were saying. I can just imagine some bloke giving you jip. So jump at him pull guard and triangle choke him out LOL

Hello Ringo,

I have had it quite a lot from these threatening, so called window cleaners.

The best thing you can do is to just report them to the police.

Also, the advice about taking a camera with you to either take pictures or film them is a great idea.  In fact I think I will be doing the same, wish I'd thought of that myself before.

If you need someone to speak to who has experienced threats of violence, I would be interested to here from you.

Give us a call.

Kind regards.

          What was all that about ? It was my own house and i haven't even got any customers yet !!! But it won't deter me- not at all.
                         
 

Is this a wind up ?? only it sounds a little too scripted .... sorry Ringo but not falling for it .... however if true then I will apologise now .... btw the only people u need to worry about are the ones who tw#t you first then when you wake up tell you why they hit you ... the ones who mouth off and threaten are spineless toss##rs who very rarely back it up ... personally I would have followed him then called the police which if they refuse to come tell then them its all about to kick off in a violent kinda way as you are going to defend yourself with reasonable force ... they will soon be there especially if you tell them you think you seen him with a weapon of some sort..... hope this helps ... if it happened

Yes I wondered too if it was for real.  I've been W/Cing for a very long time and never had such a problem.  Mind you I am of erm larger build so some might find that offputting.  I'm no fighter though.  I'm just not interested.  I would only hit out as a last resort if there was no other way to protect myself.  Much rather let the old bill deal with it myself though really, I would like to just ignore it.

I have never had a problem with any of my fellow WCs.  In fact we all get on and a couple tend to pass work on to me as they do not want any new work.

[Terry_Burrows]

  yes I know of Grace to he is well good!I am a Black Belt in karate my style
is Koodokan which is a mix of wing Chun and Shotokan so stances of strength mixed with Bruce Lee speed which is great, and your correct size is not an issue,
I used to teach children and adults,the big guys hate it when a smaller guy just get in and out,and he has just been smacked LOL  it started me doing this
becuase I started to get bulled,I went into boxing then Karate my son is also
a Black Belt my advice go see for  yourself all arts are good see what you like try some,if you get bully sensi leave its not the way

[Davo]

These threads always make me laugh, i was actually a close combat instructer for the special forces and taught a technique called the killer eye. Give em the killer eye and i promise you wont get anymore trouble from anyone.


Oh and i am the toughest hombre on  this forum, dont mess with me.

If you want to know this technique in more detail please send me a tenner and i will send you the video.
