Better Than The Olympics


I was never one of those fancy-dancy martial artists. I never did “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” I was more “punch like a piledriver, kick like an ox.” Instead of dancing around, I’d just make some subtle adjustments and then— hey, it’s steamrolling time, baby!

Every so often I’d have to spar with one of those welterweights who danced around and never came close just cuz, y’know, I outweighed him by eighty pounds or something.

So that’s one reason why I find this video so satisfying.
