Caption Time: Martial Arts?

Today we invite captions for these action photos (circa late 1970s / early 1980s).

As always, attractive "no-prizes" will be awarded to the best captions.


Picture 1


Picture 2



Picture 3


This third photo was contributed by Philip Tang (Form 5Sc, 1976), a martial arts practitioner back in the 70s and 80s. He calls it a "spinning kick". Woooooh ! Nice !

Over to you all ... LOL

    Lets move a bit further from such postings. I know we learnt "kung fu" for self protection, health, defence against "evil" but has anyone ever use it for real.

    Any stories out there?

    In pic 2, I think WJ's pants has a spilt doing that kick, somewhere down under there if you look closely. Can see or not?

    @SBP - Of course lah. That split is designed to bring fresh air to the parts that need it. Ha ha
