How should this situation be handled ???

Every year I do this theatrical concert performance. There’s this guy who is in it as well, who’s parents are friends with my parents. However he is very egoistic, has a wierd domineering attitude, thinks he’s better than all the other guys, etc….. To make the story short, got in an argument with him and then he sends me a really offensive nasty e-mail saying that him and everyone else thinks I act like a snob and that I should watch my mouth or else. He thinks he could take me out on a fight. But really, this guy is shorter than I’am, skinny, doesnt know how to fight, and hardly works out at the gym. I’ve been training for years in Taekwondo and lift heavy weights at the gym five days a week. Personally, I could take this guy out with one punch or a combination move. How do you think this situation should be handled ???

What can you do about a bully?

This guy, “Ryan”, from my homeschool co-op continually threatens and insults me. He verbally assaults me and he’s gotten physical with me a few times (A push here, a punch there) I feel scared to stand up to him since he boxes on a state circuit and he’s around 2 inches taller than me and weighs about 100 pounds more than me. (I’m around 6′ and 170. You do the math) I’ve tried to talk to his mom, but it hasn’t worked. He scares me and he recently threatened me again, but he means it this time. I’ve taken kung fu for a while, so he’s told me he’ll come for me at kung fu. I’m terrified. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
I’m homeschooled, so there’s no teachers. I run into him though since we have a co-op of about 10 kids who do school together.
I’m 15, he’s 17.

Would you let your kid quit?

My 5 yr old son just started karate. At the end of the class the sensai lets the kid that did the best punch him in the stomach. My son won and got to do this. After class was over my son wanted another punch and jokingly hit the sesai. The sensai reemed my son about respect ect.. It was painful to watch as he was repremending my son. He’s a pretty intimdating man and he went at my son for long few minuets. My son held back his tears but was really upset all the way home. Now he wants to quit karate. He’s embarrased and feels dumb. What he did was wrong…but should I force him to continue? Shouldn’t it be fun? And, the kid is 5!!!! How would you handle this one?

Capoeira looks good but …?

would the fancy techniques be much use in an actual fight? eg aganist someone who knows karate? Wouldn’t the karateka just go *bang* and end it with one simple straight punch?

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art, techniques include somersaults, spinning kicks, kicks from handstand positions and acrobatic stuff.
