Hopefully your kids are training full contact.

Please, oh, please import this to the States and let them try it on me. Please, oh, please...

Not likely, we're an armed society and those "slap happy" kids would quickly find themselves dead. One or two pictures of some kid being shot in self defense going around town would quickly bring an end to the practice here.

Battering a person unconscious and leaving them with a "black eye, bruises and cuts" is not happy, nor is it slapping.

It's assault, and the perps should be thrown in the slam for an extended period.

What a pathetic culture they're turned into.

I wished those kids would try something like that on a woman who has a REALLY REALLY bad case of P.M.S.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE comes true. What the hell is the matter in the UK? People stand by and watch this? The teens think it's funny? Someone was put in a hospital and all they get is a 'caution'?

"I'd happy slap them into the hospital."

It appears that this is the only way to get justice, to "happy slap" them back. Especially if the authorities won't press charges. It's open season!

So...if anyone gets happy slapped, go get a cheap movie camera, a group of your friends to cheer you on, locate your attacker and embark on your own happy slapping adventure to settle the score!

You're golden!

If anyone wants to know what it's like to pursue a PhD, try pursuing a black belt in a traditional martial art like Isshinryu. Or vice versa!
When I finally win mine, I'll have accomplished two of the goals on my life's list. I feel good about that.

Wonder if those who'd try "happy slapping" would feel so jolly if someone commenced to beat the living crap out of them?

Just call it "happy crapping"?

I took Kempo,

Kempo. Is that what Jeff Speakman (Perfect Weapon) teaches?

Four year program?  Ryuko Kempo is a traditional Okinawan Karate also and you are right, it ain't easy.

"Someone ever try this on my daughter and I'd happy slap them into the hospital."

As a dad to two, I won't begin to speculize what I'd be compelled to do. We'll just leave it open for "adjustments".

I'm a lapsed Shotokan brown myself - good impetus to get back into shape... (my Japanese class name translates to "old, but short and slow.")

If the father (not mentioned in the article, tellingly) or brother were to beat the stuffings out of this little hood they would go to jail. That's how the government is responsible for sponsoring this sort of behavior, what the late, great Samuel Francis called Anarcho-Tyranny, the refusal of the elite to control society's sociopathic element while putting ever more burdensome controls on the law abiding and productive. It may be worse in Britain but the same thing has been going on in this country for decades with young thugs strutting through subway stations and what have you while people around them cower in fear, in large part fear of being entangled with Big Brother. If you think Americans are any tougher study the 2001 Mardi Gras riot in Seattle.

It's taken me NINE years. I had a layoff for two due to a nasty knee injury, and they made me start over at white belt.
Like I said: traditional, if you know what I mean.
