The Big Kahuna Meets a Legend

By Nui Kahuna

Anybody who has any interest in martial arts that is my age has seen the famous Bruce Lee film, "Enter The Dragon." Besides Baba Bruce, there were a number of other martial arts legends in the film, and one of them was Bob Wall, now an extremely spry 68 years old, and who could drop kick some mook butt in a New York second today, thirty five years after that film was made.

Bob told me some great stories, jokes and wisdoms at a very fast pace and I was trying to keep up with him. Bob is a real family oriented man, he traveled on a trip with his entire family whom I also got to meet. His wife and daughters are as nice and beautiful and tough as Bob.

And by the way, he taught his daughters to be as tough as he is. Any mook foolish enough to lay a hand on the Wall girls is putting his life into extreme jeopardy.

Every woman in this country would want to have Bob Wall as their father, a man who likes strong, independent, smart women just like his wife. As he says "I knew a lot of broads, but I never met anyone as smart or strong as my wife of 38 years. I wanted my daughters to be just like their mother, who is responsible for all that I've accomplished in my life."

The lesson that Bob has imparted here as a parent is that you may not know how to teach your daughter to put a goonie down in a flash, but you can give her an equalizer that will give the same results as you want. Like mace or pepper spray.

You may put down a goon at 25 feet, and you still have at least 7 shots to finish the mission and you can hit from any position, even upside down.

You'll hear more about Bob Wall in the future, and from many of his friends. These guys aren't quite ready to "exit, stage left," and that's a good thing, as big boned Martha likes to say.
