    When I was in my 20's, I trained very, very hard & as a result, held my own as a fighter (nothing special, just held my own),
    and now that Im in my 50's, I feel like such a coward sometimes for taking sh -it from dickheads that I encounter.
    This clip has made me feel better about that.

      You are too old to be getting in fights with dickheads. As Master Po might say, your desire to disengage where once you may have checked is your body's awareness of your wisdom. Lao Tzu said "Be kind to those who are kind. Be kind to those who are not kind. That is the true nature of kindness.

      I will bet you real money when you were 20 you would never dreamed of attacking an old man in his 50ies. These punks today seek out people they can push around. I would pay big money to meet some of these TOUGH GUYS today when I was their age! I would of been beaten them so badly, they would of remembered that beating for the rest of their lives. But then again if the fight was remotely fair these punks would of passed me by.

      I am 55 a war vet and currently I have a idiot wanting to hurt me for no real reason at all, I refuse to fight back in any manner not because I am unable to defend my self but “ I see in him The ugly of anger and the suffering of humanity for power” this is not being lesser of me but being compassionate and loving to everyone even the misguided that mean me harm.
      In Buddhism a saying “ a tree gives shade to everyone even the one that comes to cut it down”
      BE AT PEACE

    I was twelve when confronted with that same situation. Berated myself for cowardice for years. Wish I had gotten some Shaolin wisdom then.

      Cowardness is a judgment. Without context it is just a word.

    Uhhh what? Must watch a few more times to understand I guess. To answer your question that kid is alive and you can see him as an adult in the making of kung fu the short movie.

      I think he was trying to say that there is a hero and coward inside all of us. Plus sometimes what we might see as cowardice in us is more of our body trying to tell us we can't handle the situation.
