I did get bullied in my last year at school, but unfortunately for this blokes theory I took up martial arts way before then, and the reason I started Judo as a kid (though stopped after a year back then) was because my mates were also doing it, simple as that. And I did Kung Fu as a teenager as I wanted to do flying kicks like Bruce Lee, for fucks sake!

I got bullied quite a bit as a youngster (I could usually get mad enough to fight back, but still...). Did that help eventually get me into martial arts? Maybe...who cares? I do know that I got into Kyokushin after I nearly got into a fight at a local bar with a guy who was intimidating, and I felt that my aiki background at the time had not prepared me for a violent situation. (this site had a lot to do with my choice)
I'm much harder to intimidate now, and as a result of that, I don't really get screwed with. The improved physique and conditioning makes me much more laid back and peaceful and improves my life in nearly every way.
This guy can get screwed. -
