My Sensei's son in law was walking back to his apartment night before last and was held up by 3 teenagers.

They not only took his wallet they slashed his face with a knife.
He ended up in the hospital.

Now imagine two of the baddest ass dojo's in town having a victim of a knife attack.
The victim was not in Martial Arts though.

Needless to say, this happened a half mile from my house. I drive past that location every friggin day.

So I'm now carrying 100% of the time, including to the haunted house last night with my daughter by the robbery scene.

The cops better catch these punks before someone in the dojo goes for a late night walk in the same area, because it has been discussed.
Only thing is these guy have been black belts and masters for 20+ years that want their young asses. They also believe in firearms.

Hopefully the punks will open their mouth and someone will turn them in.

That corner store used to be my hangout, lived across the street from it and walked that route many late night for a pack of smokes or a candy bar or something.

And on top of that my g/f goes to that store every few days...

Not happy about that, the whole neighborhood over there is going downhill.
 
Re: Local knifing/robbery

Keep your head on a swivel and train hard.

Also overlooked, rest often, and be ready to fight the second you move into a dicey neighborhood like what you've mentioned. Mentally be ready to go. Don't get/be surprised.

Resting will help ensure that you will be physically as close to 100% should you get jumped. It would suck to leave the gym/dojo tired and then be attacked when you are at your weakest.

Punk bastards. Let us know how this shitty situation turns out. Hope the victim will be okay.

Denver is sounding alot like what you just mentioned.

Arctic,

What area of the Bronx are you living in? Sounds like the PNW is going to be renamed "Barrio" real soon. (former Vancouverite here)

Seriously man, I do hope that ya'll "get on top of this" and it works out positively, for you.

This is Silverdale WA - normally a peaceful small town but this one project like housing area (Used to be nice) is getting the bad rap, and the section 8 apartments right there.

I'm going up there tonight to get something from the store...:)
 
Re: Local knifing/robbery

I've gone up there every night at 10, 11PM but it's likely a Friday thing.

I parked on the other side of the parking lot, walked around, went into the store, came out and walked around...Nada, saw women walk down that dark road by themselves. Isolated incident but in the past 3 months there have been 4 robberies now, just a punk with a knife demanding someone's wallet.

Lot of people looking for that punk right now, playing victim...and I think the cops will be late to this scene...
