Crazy Defined in the Martial Arts!
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Another definition says...immoderately fond of something. I have been immoderately fond of karate ever since Noah went swimming in the buff. Don't tell anybody, but on my wedding night I actually went to karate class!
And the third definition...extremely impractical. Try telling that one to the guy who signs my paychecks! Or, to get a little tragic, just look at our government.
So what, at heart and in reality, is crazy? Well, we could have a really crazy discussion on this matter. So let me give you a few examples and meander my crosshairs in on what, beyond the fancy words, crazy really means.
Crazy is sitting around talking about dismembering the human body. What normal, well balanced person would ever do that? Why, nobody, especially a guy in a karate class, would..uh, never mind.
Crazy is the outlaw motorcycler who studied the martial arts and who told me that the purpose of a single finger strike to the eye is not merely to flatten the eyeball but, by the technique of angling the finger correctly, to insert the finger and pop the eyeball out. He said one is then supposed to run after the rolling eyeball and step on it in full view of the owner. I didn't ask him how a person who was missing an eyeball could have a full view of things.
Crazy are the movies where the fighter decides to kill himself and delivers a karate strike to his own body and dies. I mean, I understand committing ritual suicide, as done by a samurai that failed, but hitting yourself? This fellow has clearly found a new and extreme way to get up on the wrong side of the bed.
But my favorite example of crazy is the fellow who visited one of my classes. Afterwards he came up to me and said some nice things to me, but then said he knew something that was a little better than what I was teaching. I asked him what was better, expecting him to pull out a toy pistol...this was some time ago, now they pull out real pistols!
The fellow dropped to his hands and knees and started barking like a dog. Getting to his feet and brushing off his pants the fellow told me that when he did that people thought he was crazy and left him alone. You know, now that I think about it, that's about the sanest thing I ever heard!
