Nigella Pussycat says: Tell us about utter twats doing remarkably twatty things. Or have you ever done something really twattish to a friend, loved one or pet? In summary: Twats

I'm not saying it's *impossible* as such, just wildly implausible. One would assume - rashly, perhaps - that ten bodies descending upon one body reduces things more or less to a game of 'pile on'. A ten person bumrush has to be hard to beat.

And yes, I am as experienced in karate-fu as anyone else who has seen a Bruce Lee film.

The story as I heard it
from my dad's friend who was in the pub at the time (and how we found out about it) was that after being called a 'slant eyed git' and taking a slap while he sat with his (then) girlfriend, he got up and walked outside.

Our witness in this case and some others piled out the side door as the soon-to-be hospitalised chap and his friends followed Master Loke out of the main door.

From what I can gather, the first two or three thought they were going to give him a pasting, and their mates held back. The next few must have foolishly gone in to help once the first three were down. I can't imaging the last lot were too keen to try their luck but were possibly too drunk/stupid to hang back.

Karate isn't so much about strength and speed (although it helps a lot) it's more about muscle memory and being able to react with a block or counter-strike without thinking. Most people would have to think about how to throw the first punch, then again for the second. When you've spent literally years practicing combinations and variations of moves it gives you a real advantage.

I can see how you may think it's a tall story, it is the stuff of films, and this is the internet, after all. Having known him since I was 8 all I can say is that I'd never take him on even if I had 9 friends with me.
