You need to be a little more careful. At least if you are going to consider meeting with total strangers from running an ad in Craig’s list…

I think the key word here is “consider.” I could have gotten many responses, even much worse than this one (I was wondering if people would propose illegal activity?) and I would simply not have responded.

If I had been available to meet this guy, and if he accepted my counter offer, I would have wanted some rules and witnesses for any fight. But honestly I don’t think we would have ended up fighting. I suspect it was a knee jerk reaction on his part and had we met and talked he would have seen me as a real person and not just a “martial artist” who needed knocking down.

I do appreciate your concern. I need replies like yours, because sometimes I embrace risk too easily.

Thank you.

I think anyone can be an adventurer. For some it is a hobby and for others it’s a way of life. I’d love it if more people called themselves professional adventurers, especially if they’re out there living it.

It says adventurer on my business card :)

I’ve known a few Veteran Marines fight (don’t use ex-marine, once a Marine, always a Marine).

Good point. Edited.

Their form of hand-to-hand is an awesome to watch and one I would love to learn myself.

Do you know at all what it’s based on?
