Guys Who "Know Karate"

Q: Which demographic group gets their asses kicked more than any other? A: Young males who say they know karate.

While many people deserve to be punched in the face, nobody paints the target on themselves quite so distinctly as these guys. Some of them may in fact know some karate, most of them don't, but it hardly matters. Saying "I know karate" in a bar is the equivalent of saying "I'll be right back" in a horror movie. Bad things are about to happen to you. Next time you open your mouth, pour a drink in it.

Ha! and I know from experience, from having worked at a bar, that some guys who actually do know Karate are just quietly waiting in bars for that jackass who knows some Karate to stand up and says "I know Karate". Thankfully they tend ot beat eachother up and leave us peaceful drunks alone.

Of course one could argue that bar fighting is a martial art unto itself with different variants (Phac-yew, Drunk Irishman, etc) that emphasizes different body parts (i.e. head), or available objects as weapons (i.e. beer steins, salt shakers, bouncer's shoes, Patrick Swayze) and has special zen like preparation (minimum of 8 pints) before you can participant effectively.

lol...there was a lot of people I knew like that in university. Not only did they know some form of martial art, but they also made up huge elaborate stories of fights they got into. One guy's story would get more and more fantastic every time he told it. Even their friends wanted to beat them up when they mentioned it.

It's those guys with the heavy Canadian accents I can't stand.

I think a more polite way to go about this is to state that you know Jackie Chan. The kicker comes when some douche exclaims, "Bullshit! You don't know Jackie Chan!" And then Jackie jumps up from behind the bar and kicks him in the balls.

Hey, it could happen.

The interesting thing is that the people that actually know Karate to the level that they can use it effectivly wouldn't stand up and say they know Karate.
The best way to win a fight is not to get in one.
