Backfire
Hello, my name is Stephen and I am
not a violent person. I shouldn’t have probably begin with that but I
think that I should make a point of that. So I will start from the
beginning. About 7 years ago give or take several months I was on a kids
summer camp. I was a chubby kid more on the fat side which was just
beginning to go through puberty. Suffice it to say going to the camp
wasn’t my idea. My father decided that I need toughening and he sent me
in the middle of nowhere for a summer full hiking, biking, swimming in
the lake and away from video games. None of my friends were going there
and basically it was like a hell for me. The other kids made making fun
of me a kind of sport so I stayed away from them as much as possible.
Probably my only real friend in the camp was one of the instructors -
Avi. He was an ex-Israeli Defense Force soldier and had a very strange
sense of humor but I liked him because he treated me like adult and not
like a fat piece of lard. (Continued below......)
Welcome to winning in 2021 Warriors of all types!
On This week's show we take another look at the tough job that our men and women in blue have to face down every day as they deal with another knife-wielding suspect (knife attacks are on the rise around the globe). And then we help you understand why it's important to train in your gear.Tactical PE On US Sports Net is brought to you by:

(....Continued....) Anyway every morning around 6 am he would go
near the lake and train some moves for a week or so I thought it was
Kung-Fu but eventually I understood that it was Krav Maga, "the Isreali
Kung-Fu" as Avi put it. After several days watching him (I was getting
before everyone else because this made getting away from them easier), I
convinced him to teach me. And so my Krav Maga training began. It
wasn’t long before I realized I really enjoy practicing the moves and
later training with him. By the end of the summer I was really hooked on
the concept and the idea of this martial art and not surprisingly when I
went back home I looked for Krav Maga schools in the NYC and found
several. As I continued practicing it I lost weight and the abuse from
the school bullies stop. Everything would have been just peachy if it
wasn’t for my father who constantly mocked me about training Krav Maga,
according to him a real man didn’t need to train fancy jumps and kicks.
So he decided to prove me that I wasn’t ready to protect myself, but his
plan backfired.
While I was sleeping he barged in my room with a mask while my big
brother was recording the whole thing on camera. He expected to freak me
out by grabbing my shoulder and screaming "This is a robbery" in my
ear, he didn’t expect my just woken up self to hit him with the night
lamp in the face and then to almost instantly to proceed kicking and
hitting him. The video was quite spectacular actually, the type of which
turns viral when it goes in the web.
As a direct result from this adventure my father had a broken nose
and lots of bruises. He now attends my Krav Maga School too and my
mother keeps the tape and shows it on Christmas and family gatherings
for much of my father’s annoyance.
In conclusion I want to say that I am not violent man, but when the
thanks to my training when the situation expects it I will react
properly even if it is my father.
