When I served in the navy I was the 6th fleet (smokers) champion
boxer. Never had any formal boxing training, but at an early age
became a black belt in Aikido. That took several years of study.



Wow, you speak some Spanish AND you studied for "several years?"
Yowza! That's real impressive. Sorry to say my training was less
formal though I made money at it and it was rarely any fun. Joe, you
strike me as a certain type of fellow I was paid to deal with on a
regular basis. That doesn't make you a bad person, just the sort of
dang fool I was always depressed to deal with. I'm happy you were a
boxing champ and you have a belt. I once had to toss out the Bronx
Golden Gloves champ out of the club after he kicked a waitress. He
threw hard and when I removed him I was careful not to hurt his arms.
I didn't feel any more manly afterwards though. Maybe I should have
spoken to him in broken Spanish?
I have a feeling you own a DVD copy of Road House so you don't miss
the edited parts on TNT.

Cheers, tough dude.
