Fun Friday – Defensive Driving with Master Ken!

Few areas demand your undivided attention as much as the driver’s seat. Behind the wheel of a car, you’re not only responsible for your own safety, but also that of any fellow passengers in your vehicle, as well. You’re also called upon to be cognizant of your surroundings at all times and always careful to avoid people, buildings, other cars, ensuring that the open road is the one and only thing your vehicle makes contact with. With such a demand on one’s attention, the act of driving a motor vehicle is an especially precarious position for self-defense. Finding oneself forced to fight off a fellow passenger will inevitably have the same detrimental effect on one’s ability to drive safely as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol will, and this is an arena of combat that virtually every martial art in existence has consistently overlooked.

All, that is, except for the street lethal art of Ameri-Do-Te. Founded by the legendary Master Ken, the most formidable martial artist to ever walk the Earth and the world’s only 11th degree black belt, Ameri-Do-Te is the definitive combat method for every fighting scenario imaginable. The reason behind that is that Master Ken has spent a lifetime researching and studying every martial art in the world, absorbing the strengths of each into the Ameri-Do-Te arsenal while jettisoning each one’s individual weaknesses. This approach to combat is the origin of the catchphrase popular among Ameri-Do-Te practitioners, “Best of All, Worst of None”. However, if you’re expecting Master Ken’s answer to the dilemma of automotive combat to involve a modified Hurticane or even the dreaded Kill-Face, your judgement has been clouded by the rubbish that makes up all other martial arts, and you forget that the combatants attention is divided in this situation. Fortunately, even with the odds stacked so heavily against him, Master Ken has the perfect Ameri-Do-Te based method for fighting off aggressive passengers, which can be easily implemented into the fighting arsenal of any non-practitioner of Ameri-Do-Te, regardless of how ridiculous your particular martial art happens to be!
