In thinking about things we could do at the Mega this year, let’s think about some things that are outside the box a bit, and see if we might want to incorporate something into the schedule.
Years and years ago myself and a bunch of my kung fu buddies invented a game as we were chilling out one nice summer day. Full contact baseball. All the rules of baseball more or less in place, we made modifications
One guy batted, pinch “runners” were allowed.
There was a pitcher, one infielder and one outfielder.
Realistically I’m not sure how much time we’ll have outside of sparring/eating/talking shit/sparring/getting drunk/preventing Asia from taking over the city.
To give a more serious answer, I think we’d mock that type of thing if it was someone else. Plus, I’d rather go get fucked up. Of course, if I drank enough, I might find something like that amusing.
We could do the classic multiple attackers vs. lone defender.That is one of my favorite bullshit claims in all of martial arts.I dont mind being the guy to get the shit kicked out of me but in addittion to that there should be someone with higher rank and credentials than me that really believes he can succeed.Now that males for good entertainment to me.
Well, that begs the question “Where are we going to find such a guy?” People “believe” all sorts of shit so long their ass isn’t on the line … and in this case their ass is on the line in public before the Press. Got anyone in mind?
If the “1” is someone we don’t know what happens when he gets plowed over and goes bonkers on us? Beating the crap out of him would not constitute good form before the Press. Taser or what?
The other thing is the injury factor. Even if one of us agreed to be the 1 … getting a leg or ankle trapped/pinned in the swirl of bodies could easily result in a trip to the nearest hospital. You know with a crowd and the Press there anyone and everyone would go close to all out … just a natural reaction to the environment.
If we are going to do the multi vs. 1 thing I think we (MD TD Crew) should get together and walk through it a few times … not to completion as that would be scripting … just to get a feel for the flow.
Maybe restrict it to a mass frontal assault so there’s a good chance of the 1 being blasted back without the risk of someone behind him accidently fucking up his legs.
All the multis should be wearing gloves to reduce the risk of cuts and the 1 should be in full up body gear, e.g., head, chest, cup, mouth guard …
During the walk throughs we could determine a logical conclusion point … when it stops. I’m thinking the ensuing dogpile might be a good stop point.
Shitfaced Combat Baseball? Xtreme Sports might buy that idea from you … and you Sir obviously have way too much free time and some very freaky Friends.
What you are referring to is the last “screaming nazi” party we had, where we all got loaded, and fought pro wrestling style in the front yard. That is until the police showed up and forced us inside. :5shocking
