John Graden:
"Mr. Bone comes in and says, we're going to belt fight. Oh, cool. What's that? Well, we're going to fold our belts into quarters and we're going to use enlightening  nunchakus.

[00:00:08.490] - Speaker 1
Now, my exposure in nunchakus had been seen in Bruce Lee and Enter the Dragon. Beyond that, I had no idea what it was. I couldn't pronounce something, but if you remember, in the mid seventy s, the belts were made of cardboard, practically. They have a real light stuck straight out. So when you went to hit somebody with it, as I soon discovered, it just kind of fluttered and fell against their body.

[00:00:28.590] - Speaker 1
Whereas Mr. Bone had one of those real heavy Tokaido silk belts that poured flesh off your body and was a national nunchaku champion. This is an unfair matchup for a 15 year old kid. And what he would do is hit you in the same spot over and over again so hard that your leg would literally rip. He beat the snot out of you.

[00:00:52.370] - Speaker 1
Something about that appeal to me. Let's keep in perspective. Something about that appeal to you, too. We'd go do demonstrations. He'd have me laid five against six and just kill each other.

[00:01:08.380] - Speaker 1
It was amazing. I'm not actually in this. This is about a month after I was still recovering. I was actually sitting in the bleachers watching this happen. So you're going to see what I came up with here.

[00:01:23.750] - Speaker 1
This was a standard ritual, just getting the snot beat out of it. Look at this poor kid screaming now. Today, this is him in jail. If you grab the belt, you got stumped. He stumped.

[00:01:41.310] - Speaker 1
Watch the body respond to this thing. I mean, that belt weighs £10. It weighs anything.

[00:01:48.190] - Speaker 1
And then his buddy jumps and stays in with his little cardboard belt. There's a nice slow motion look at the pain of this kid, right?

[00:02:03.650] - Speaker 1
This is a demonstration at a local high school. Yes. This is about a year after safety gear was introduced. We were still discovering safety gear. Come join our school.

[00:02:15.110] - Speaker 1
It's safe, it's fun, you'll love it. Oh, this poor guy fell down. He just gets stomped and beat, and it's just a melee. And it's people just lined up to join. This guy got his nose broken and he's upset."
