been my nickname since i stopped the bully from beating up my cousin with MD in school. Cuz had to use a walker to get from class to class..of course the biggest jock always would kick his books out & i saw him push him in the hallway & my cuz fell. We just sat in hall & didn't go next class.
This was 1981..so the bullying wasn't an option.that was dealt with...well i went home & took a long run & stopped in front of a store ..big window..i & said...do you got it...Bruce Lee & Arnold Schwarzenegger have been training me since i was 13. Sat afternoon Martial arts movies & was lifting ever since Arnold was winning all the Mr Olympias...
Looked in that mirror & fought my self....was fast 5'2 128 lbs...all i did was run & workout for 5 years...I said yes...got weirdly calm..next morning went over to where the jocks where & went up to big bad bully...said 3 pm...At the elementary school lot...he went..what? i said "challenge you" some chic goes..what ya think your Underdog". I had his Sticker on my notebook & my family always called me that
I just grinned..all day long..geeks-nerds..all coming up to me....he pushes me too .'get him'..word was all over school..all the jocks..even pushing me in the hallway. all day provoking me..saying your dead..he will kill you...well 3 pm..i wheeled my cuz up to the playground in his wheelchair...
my gosh ..i bet 300 people there...walk up...said 'why you do this' to small people or someone with a handicap..he goes cause i can.....rage burned in me..i visualized..all the training..the wood chopping..the fast striking movements I...saw thru the hit...i hit him so hard... broke his jaw & curved his nose..to this day his face is crooked.....He became a big real estate owner(dad owned branch--he was privileged kid) i called him up in 2003 one day & asked him if he stopped picking on people,,he said//yes...told me he lost his girlfriend that day..he saw the ugliness in himself....we talked a lil..he said ..I hit him harder than any football play...not real proud of it..but being little or a lil dif in life does not give people the right to hurt us !!Underdog was born.
