I love to hear, please because I love to hear a good martial arts story based on eccentric and mysterious characters.

There was once a kid that got knocked down by a bigger young man after the kid tried to mess with the young man's girlfriend. So the kid found a wise old Japanese caretaker who happened to secretly know karate. To cut a long story short, the old man agreed to teach the kid karate. But to the kids surprise and frustration, the old man just got the kid to do chores like polishing his collection of classic cars and painting the fence. Naturally soon enough the kid had had enough. So he confronted the old man. At which point the old man proceeded to attack the kid, while asking the kid to mimic the various chores. To the kids surprise and delight, he discovered he now knew karate. |

Sounds like the old man is a bad person for abusing child labor laws. That and the bigger young man seem like a well tempered person for only knocking him to the ground and not damaging the kid.

No...Fat Cobra does not do spinning kicks...
However, the strike to the neck with the forearm is one of my favorites.

Lol I am loving the martial arts characters of Marvel. My favorite is Mister X but I am beginning to take a great liking to Fat Cobra!
