our mutual friend sometimes talks about how his kung fu is too dangerous to use in mere cage matches
Oh shit! One time we had one of those at the karate school, too! He said to, of all people, our head of school that his old school couldn't have sparring practice because they train in "the killing techniques" and there was no way to spar with them safely. It was uncharacteristic of him, but our guy just said "that's a bunch of bullshit."
I do understand how some techniques like throat punches and eye gouges can't be practiced. And even certain Judo moves like flying leg-scissors are banned from tournaments because they're just way too easy to cause injury. But this is ridiculous, your punches and kicks are not super-deadly unless you just have no control, in which case you are poorly trained.
The thing is that in an actual fight things like throat gouges, eye pokes and ear poppers rely on you hitting a relatively difficult target under pressure on a moving target that is probably hitting you. It's like the thing of "if a guy punches you move your head into the blow and you'll break his fist". Well yeah, in theory. Good luck with that one though.

Which is exactly what he is if doesn't spar.
Oh well, yeah, totally. But it's not because his techniques are too deadly.

Well, the Judo scissor I mentioned is not ridiculously hard to land. Kind of like how low belts in BJJ aren't allowed to do ankle-locks. They aren't terribly hard to get, but they're hard to do without fucking up somebody's ankle. Also if you're punching at the head often enough and you just choose to target the throat, you will eventually hit it. But yeah, eye-gouging a moving target seems like it should be fairly hard to do in a single attempt, I agree with that. I guess the point is that he wasn't talking about that stuff, he was talking about, like, the heart-stopper dim mak punch and all sorts of shit that he probably couldn't really do.
Wait. "Headbutt the guy's fist?" Really? One time I heard about a two-man attack that was like...the one guy is holding you from behind and the other guy punches you in the face and you ride the force of the face punch to rear-headbutt the guy behind you. That was the first move of the technique. "Get punched in the face." Awesome! Where does this shit come from?
I dunno, it's looking like she hit it and quit it, and this guy isn't taking it too well.
Or just that he's harassing her. That does happen.
Guys who slide notes under doors generally flee at the first signs of rejection, unless they've already boned in which case it must be true love.
or he's just one of those really creepy fucks
One of my lady friends had a "Creepy Stalker", hanging out, calling that sort of thing. I was able to watch the two of them actually engage. She completely exasperates the situation by touching his shoulder as she leaves and continually giving hints that his presence is welcome.
They do exist, but not in as large quantities as it sometimes seems.
I grew up in the country so anytime anyone approaches me in the street, no matter what they look like I assume they're trying to mug me or at least beg for money. I'm usually right but last year some crazy black guy came up and was just crazy for the sake of craziness. Took about 10 minutes to get away from him.

I knew a dude in college who would just, like, hang physically over this one chick. He just would not leave her alone. He lived down the hall from her and there is no way in hell that he fucked her (or anyone else). He was just goddamn weird and disgusting, and she was a reasonably attractive girl in a school with a high male to female ratio, which naturally puts her up several notches. At one point, she and I went into her room pretending that we were going to have sex just so that he would leave her alone. It's worth noting that our relationship was not sexual at all at any point, and neither of us had an interest outside of normal friendship. The guy followed us to her room and I basically had to use my body to block him from the door in order to get it closed.
So I mean, seriously, I've seen it happen. People who harass women have something wrong with them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Mainly we just can't believe it's actually happening. This is the kind of thing that you know happens but you never actually have it happen to someone you know.

exacerbates
That's what I thought, I typed it up and it said I misspelled it, then it gave me the option of exasperate so I looked it up and got.

That was the first move of the technique. "Get punched in the face." Awesome! Where does this shit come from?
One of the reasons I've never gone back to my old training is that the joint work was unrealistic and there wasn't any ground work at all, so if I get in a fight I'm fine unless the guy grabs me in which case I go "uh... shit". I did learn a lot of good things like restricted movement defenses and how to misdirect someone who is doing their back arching cat hiss thang until you can bop them tally ho right on the bloody chin what what.
The fist headbutt thing is oooollllddddd. It's more of basic "if someone throws a punch at you, move into the blow to defuse it's power" kind of thing, but it's so utterly impractical and easy to fuck up that I can't believe anyone could seriously suggest it. I was reminded of it a couple of days ago when I saw a guy do it on Chuck. To be fair it does look awesome on film, if you've got reflexes like Neo.

hey i grew up in the country too and i have no idea why you would assume people are going to try to mug you
that is like something that someone who grew up in a suburb and then moved to a poor part of detroit would think
So she's not your first girlfriend? But you think that the best and most appropriate way to deal with annoying competition is to bypass 'hey man fuck off' or getting security/higher authorities involved and proceed direct to 'kicking the shit out of him'. How old are you, serious question?
Or looking at it the other way, if your girlfriend is incapable of making is perfectly clear this guy should leave her alone, which is a pretty easy thing to do, then it is much more likely she either in part or in full wants him there. They did it. She was unfaithful and was feeling guilty and told you about him pushing himself on her. Classic lying technique.
and in most cases the "improvement" isn't substantial.
I am not into the "giant fake tits" look. Really, I think around 36C, give or take a little, is ideal. Fucking triple-D monster boobs that look spherical are just weird and kind of unappealing.
and in most cases the "improvement" isn't substantial.
I'm increasingly of the irritating nerd opinion that boobs jobs are pretty stupid. Some time after seeing my 60th playmate with identical tits I became bored of the whole thing.

Shes problably just going to sleep with both of them.
Face it, you're fucked, or... I guess not fucked?

it's entirely possible
masculinity really gets her going
That wouldn't be funny though, just creepy.
oh yeah totally it's classic behaviour, but if it was my first girlfriend I'd probably believe what she said too, so he's totally harassing her.
hey does this guy by any chance own a boat

oh please
Javen, you are sharp. This isn't sarcastic either.
hahaha

I think so
Then woo, free boob job I guess?
Oh I know, you have lots of cuckolds to go beat up.

Like, taco beef?

Like a terrorist attack, etc.
Fucking black guys.
well this guy punsie's talking about sounds like one
i mean, who writes notes anymore?
"the scalpel has hit the north tower.'
and in most cases the "improvement" isn't substantial.

Archaic. to increase the intensity
so I was like, okay, guess I was wrong.
not really
