many people think that it's wrong to teach children mma (mixed martial arts). i pasted an article below which shows how a boy saved a friend & her dog from a pitbull, using his mma training/knowledge. i think it's interesting that most adults don't mind if children learn martial arts. but then they think it's wrong if the the martial arts is realistic (as in mma, brazilian jiu-jitsu & muay thai). i want gideon to learn realistic martial arts, because pretty soon he's going to be my bodyguard.

Pit bull taps out from a nine-year-old's rear naked choke
By Maggie Hendricks
A Bakersfield, Calif. boy saved a friend and her dog after a pitbull tried to attack them. Did he do it by calmly coaxing the dog with a sweet voice, and then singing to it? Nope. He did it using a choke he learned in a jiu-jitsu class, which he held for 20 minutes until the police showed up.
Isn't it better that he was in this class instead of sitting on a couch, playing video games and eating Twinkies? The next time I hear MMA described with the words "human cockfighting," I will find this wonderful young man, who talks about the ordeal here, and have him choke out the idiot who said it.

Wow rear naked choking a ptibull? Crazy.
I was actually thinking about this the other day. If you could use martial art techniques on animals.
We were talking about moose attacks because we were at claimjummpers and saw that huge moose head.
Moose have huge upper bodies but skinny little legs and I was wondering if you could snap their leg with a good kick. Funny.
But I was also thinking about dog attacks. It would seem almost impossible to get a dog in a hold because they are so fast and agile.
jin, it's awesome to hear from my one faithful blog reader/commenter. it's been cold here, often below freezing. i would put the moose in a leg/ankle lock. w/the dog, i would look for a big stick. actually in 7th grade i kicked a dog that was attacking me & my friends in a new york city garage.
Wow after you kicked it did it run away? Dude that's pretty Bruce Lee.
thank you. & yes it ran away.
in something completely off-topic, thought violent pastor would be interested in somewhat retro geeky stuff =D

Tried using the tuner with the hdtv tuner in my comp. might be the tuner itself since ati can't seem to make adequate video drivers to run pong, much less anything that actually works. I probably should use the converter coupon and see if i can get rid of the box later, maybe i'll test out the tuner again but being boxed in by apartments and 15 different wireless APs in the area probably doesn't help reception (though i believe the signal should be on different freq).
yuhung, it's great to hear from you. but i didn't understand most of what you said :>
