He also trained with the Goju Ryu Master Steve Morris 8th Dan, who was a good friend for many years. However, my display was interrupted by a co-worker, a journeyman professional boxer who effectively asked me if I could do the same to a man, to which I replied, ‘Let’s find out.’So we retired to the top of the building and no sooner had the proceedings begun than I secured a hold on his head as he attempted to bob and weave in towards me and put two vicious knees into his face. A system should encompass everything that has proven to have worked against the very best in the world in open competition and within a realistic training environment.But, having said that, it should not be assumed that what worked yesterday will necessarily work today or tomorrow, and one should be constantly re-evaluating one’s skills, training methods, rationale, principles and concepts, etc. I’d had better fights during basketball, rugby and football matches with the opposing players, those of my own team, the referee, linesmen, and spectators than I had in Japan!Though disillusioned with karate and those other martial arts I had witnessed in Japan and Okinawa, I still felt obliged to honour my agreement with George Chew, co-founder (with Eric Dominy) of the London Judo Society, who had helped me enter Japan on a Judo scholarship under the sponsorship of Mr Hatta of the Japanese Diet, Mr Aoki of the Benihana restaurant chain, and Professor Watanabe of Waseda University. I’m much in need of a good friend.The incident with Tom, who was the best friend a man could ever have, gave me a feeling of déja-vu. oh, well, that’s another story. The level of athleticism and conditioning required of a top NHB fighter is second to none.Anybody who hasn’t figured out yet that NHB is the closest representation of the real thing on the feet and on the ground has got to be walking around with his head up his arse—or, coming to think of it, somebody else’s, figuratively speaking (which might explain why so many martial artists have lost, amongst other things, all sense of smell and taste. I replied, ‘The trouble with both you and the Japanese is that your reality is bullshit,’ upon which he promptly hung up.Someone else who hung up on me was a KUGB 6th Dan who, after seeking me out and seeing what I could do and had to say, immediately wrote a letter to Terry O’Neill’s Not that this individual was the only one to have said one thing and then done another. Advanced search. Thinking I had got the better of him, considering that I had just kicked him in the head with a round kick (this was 1960, by the way) and given him another whilst he was kneeling on the ground just for good luck, I foolishly turned back to talk to the girl again. In other words, they do not have the introspection of a Buddhist monk.Interestingly, when we were about to get on the buses for our return to Tokyo, I was approached by Takahashi, a legend within the Goju Kai and highly regarded throughout Japan. When you have been in the martial arts for a long time you will often hear stories of different people about the skills they have. It was shortly after having a dream of working with young people through Martial Arts. Its not being taken advantage of its the way it is. But who knows?

If more foreigners training in Japan acted as Gideon did, then perhaps the Japanese martial arts would be all the healthier for it. I would make my own luck, rather than wait for it to happen. Karate had nothing to do with my abilities as a fighter or trainer or my being able to motivate myself to train for eight hours a day, seven days a week, non-stop, by which I was and still am (regrettably in some circles) referred to as a legend, a title with which Bey Logan unfortunately labelled me in the late Eighties.Well, that’s the past, or what I dare tell of it anyway, and now that I’ve finally burnt all my bridges, so to speak, and probably put the cat amongst the pigeons (or should it be chickens? Being in touch with your thoughts, emotions and sensations is one thing, but having them under the control of another person is something else. in the light of what is current. Far from it. Anybody who is still not convinced as to the effectiveness of NHB fighting and training methods, or put another way, the It would be equally wise, with regards to those who persist in e-mailing me as to the effectiveness of their quasi-martial fighting and training methods and masters, to stop wasting their time. I was instantly recognized by a member of the kitchen staff who was serving lunch. I then began what would prove to be the most difficult part of the process: the devising, testing and refining of those exercises, drills and playfighting methods by which the fighter would become instinctively familiar with the skills, etc. Is it any wonder I refer to them as being combatively and physically inept? I suppose I am someone who just loves the challenge of a real fight, irrespective of the superior size or reputation of my opponent. For example, when in Malaysia she found out that I had been in the habit of jumping into an overflowing deep monsoon ditch and, after being swept some hundred yards or so by the turbulent water and passing through an underground pipe some thirty-odd yards long, popping out the other side, only to climb the bank, go back to the start, and do it again and again. Anybody who practices a ‘move’ that is not the consequence of the adaption of fundamental movement patterns (inherited, relex, and bequeathed behavioral) and the fundamental skills of NHB fighting (the key natural, biomechanical, tactical, technical elements of the moves of NHB) to a reality-based situation, will only be practicing and perfecting a move and nothing else.
