Once, mk and gq came to visit us in NC. My wife, daughter and I took them to the Life and Sciences museum. We got there about 20 minutes prior to the museum opening. To kill time, we went across the street to a pavilion and walked around. As we were walking back to the museum, a small asian man walking two Dachshund's was walking towards us. His face was covered in a white cream and he appeared to be sweating. We didn't think much of him until he abruptly started running very quickly towards my wife and infant daughter. As mk and I turned to see the commotion, the man changed course just prior to reaching my wife. We noticed then that in his hands he held a knife. It was as if he intended to do harm but then at the last minute thought better of it.

We quickly went back to the Museum and I found a security guard and notified him of the situation.

We were lucky nothing bad happened. It was scary and certainly creepy.

How did that not come to mind? That was a very disturbing moment. :/

I forgot to mention the part where you disarmed the man, and fell him with a swift round house kick. It's okay that I let Hubski know that you're really a ninja, right?

Very disturbing moment. Glad everyone is alright. It really empathized to me how in an instant, things could go very, very wrong.

I'm gonna guess it looked something like this (around 0:50).

Awesome! When it Seagalls, it pours. I was just talking in another forum about how Steven Seagall ruined Kelly LeBrock.

As for mk's abilities, it was more like this (around 1:56) --shit lasted a while...

Yes! Bloodsport is my favorite Van Damme, but I went with the Kickboxer movie poster for my home gym because its a lot cooler.

Bad ass poster! I must have watched Bloodsport a 100 times as a kid --no exaggeration. Even watching this short clip brings back a lot of memories of re-enacting the fights with my brother. But it also sheds light on what horrible acting/story telling it really is. I had no idea as a kid.

I recall being very proud when I immediately realized that "Ray Jackson" was Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds. -Another movie I watched a LOT as a kid.
