Why Study Taekwondo

Because in a prison somewhere is a guy training hard so that, when he gets is released, he can kick your ass and take your money.

Prison may rehabilitate good people who have gone wrong, but for bad people, it is merely a training camp. They are studying with the masters of violence and training hard so that when they are released they will not be arrested again. One way to ensure this is to leave no witnesses.

The training one gets in prison, both mentally and physically, is extremely efficient and very practical. There are no patterns to learn. Every day is a adrenaline filled training session in survival. Prisoners learn their first day that to survive in prison you must be tough and that you must daily demonstrate how tough you are. Just as a new chicken in a farmyard, you have to endure many pecking battles to find your place in the pecking order. Moreover, you have to face more battles every time a new chicken moves in. You learn to sense trouble, read intentions, and watch your back at all times. You quickly learn who the big roosters are and you quickly ingratiate yourself to them so they will take you under their wing and teach you the ways of crime.
