Tsujigiri literally means ‘crossroads killing’ and is the Japanese term for a very dishonourable practice whereby…I remember one night I had a chance to see Karl’s Ninja combat abilities displayed in a rather impressive way. We were outside a nightclub and a fight started. A bouncer had seen his ex-girlfriend with her new man. The bouncer hit him so hard he was knocked unconscious and he had started to kick his victim when he was down. The girlfriend lay on her downed lover to try to prevent him from being attacked. Then to the horror of all assembled, the bouncer began to hit the woman. No one did anything. I think we were all in chock. karl, however, took action and in one swift motion he stepped on the bouncer’s knee from behind. This took him by surprise and dropped him to one knee. In that moment, punching from his left hand from the waist, Karl delivered the most shocking and penetrating punch I have ever seen, which connected directly to the jaw of the bouncer. He was stunned but not out and as he fell he grabbed Karl’s shirt, which ripped. At that moment back-up arrived from inside the nightclub. Two men, tie-less suits, appeared and charged towards the scene, totally misinterpreting the situation; after all, Karl was standing upright , with a ripped shirt, over three injured people. As they charged him, Karl did something truly amazing-he threw what was left of his shirt in the face of one of the oncoming men, then picked up and did the same with one of the high heels of the lady beneath him, which had dislodged itself in the scuffle. In the time it took them to deal with these make-shift missiles Karl was off into the night-a hero with no reward.

I stumbled across this recently and it looks pretty legit: http://www.healingtaomassage.com/. I don’t really know anything about the White Tigress/Jade Dragon but thought I would share and see if anyone has any thoughts. This Arorah Hsien Tao seems to have been trained by Hsi Lai and speaks of the White Tigress and Jade Dragon.
