What
would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto
the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's
practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious.
He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even
an innocent little baby can become a danger ous missile WHEN ITS
BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
You
may feel as helpless as a year-old infant-as far as fighting is
concerned; but please remember: (1) YOU WEIGH MORE THAN A BABY, and
(2) YOU NEED NOT FALL FROM A WINDOW TO PUT YOUR BODY-WEIGHT INTO
MOTION.
You
have weight, and you have the means of launching that weight into
fast motion.
Furthermore,
you have explosive ingredients. You may not appear explosive. You may
appear as harmless as a stick of dynamite, which children have been
known to mistake for an oversized stick of taffy.
You
can launch your body-weight into fast motion; and, like dynamite, you
can explode that hurtling weight against an opponent with a stunning,
blasting effect known as follow-through.
