Here's a re-share from 48 years ago. Where does the
time go? Goes by so fast. Two of my good friends in this have either been with
the Lord (or not), for some time now. Miss them but have this and other great
memories of them.
Cutting two watermelons on a friend's stomach with a
very, very sharp samurai sword during a Karate demonstation? Why would anyone
do that? What's that have to do with Karate, which means Empty (read nothing in
your) Hand BTW?
Something about control probably? But answer now (45
years later) is I really had, nor now have, absolutely any idea. I had read of
other Karate people doing it though and decided to give it a try. This video
starts out with my good friend Bill Price breaking three cinder blocks with a
forearm break, which is related to Karate training. Then my friend Jeff Tyre
who now lives in Florida let me cut these watermelons on him. As I remember it
the only ones I could find were these little ones.
Also as I remember it I actually did strike Jeff
with the sword, which he told me about after we were finished. Oh well, all's
well that ends well! Also though as I remember it the crowd loved it.
All I can say is he never
told me about this when I trained with him,
Else wise I would have tried to slice a watermelon laying on your
chest while blindfolded.
