Dear Grimm

Which martial art is best for defending myself against bullies?

Thanks,

Bullied

Dear Bullied,

Wow, what a great question. I'm a bit of an expert on the matter, so lucky you!

(I really appreciate it when readers send in letters, so keep sending them to superreviewworld@gmail.com)

So, you want to learn how to kick and punch and possibly flip around in order to defend your body (or honor) from attackers.

As a former Bullied Kid myself, I can tell you that my pacifist responses did not serve me well. Turning the other cheek often results in two bruised cheeks.

Rest assured you are making the right choice in dedicating yourself to one of the many honorable combat arts.

As a practitioner of Iai-jutsu (quick draw sword art, took 2 lessons in 2003) I feel I am uniquely qualified to answer you MUCH more accurately than my competition.

(Dear Prudence and Dear Abby’s martial prowess or lack thereof are still unknown, and I am going to assume nil. If they read this, they can feel free to drop me a line so I can update their enemy profiles in my villain database with Way of the Fist or Way of the Sword notations.)

So as you can see, the Way of Martial Arts is a wonderful system to build courage (I no longer fear Prudy or Abby) and self respect, not to mention the ability to defend yourself or your honor (or the honor of your loved ones) in a decisive and impressive looking manner.

FYI, If you can master the flips, you will be unstoppable. No one knows how to deal with them. It confuses your enemies and allows you to swiftly strike their neck, incapacitating them.

The neck should be your only target. It is where you breathe. But Neck Strike Jutsu is not the only technique. There are many such jutsu’s you can learn. Many indeed. Ask your potential sensei what his power rating is IN JAPAN only. America has no oversight on power ratings and many senseis will just make them up, you can tell because they look confused and upset when you ask. “Uh, enough?” is NOT a power rating! So don’t accept that.

So my advice would be that you find an honorable and appropriately power-rated sensei who can teach you flips and neck hit jutsus (techniques.)

We are warriors. Never forget that.

Dear Grimm

I keep finding food wrappers hidden in the house and in the car. My partner swears they don’t belong to him. What could be happening? It is not like him to tell a lie to me.

Confused and Scared,
Boise

Dear Confused,

The appearance of random food wrappers could indeed be explained by a lying partner, but since you said they don’t tell lies, we have to investigate this phenomenon a little more thoroughly.

It is not uncommon for ghosts or other types of Intelligences & Entities to engage in behavior like this. Take the Brundok of ancient Mesopotamia. It is a type of ghost who would leave food wrappings on the floor of ancient homes after stealing the meats and breads from a family.

If there was a baby in the home, it would also consume their soul. The Brundok is under the control of a demon called Pazuzu and that guy is not the one you want for an adversary. (see the fantastic movie Exorcist 2 for more info)

I would advise you to find a high level priest or pastor to do the Soul Test to your partner. If a Brundok has taken up residence in your home and there are no babies, it could have consumed his soul instead. A soul test would be the easiest way. If he turns out to be infested with a Brundok, write back because I have a banishment system that will make it move on.

One of many systems I have personally developed to repel Intelligences & Entities over the years. For a nominal fee.

That wraps up another week!
I am running low on emails! Better send me one!
And allow me to heal your life. I am a wonderful healer.
