I had an interesting idea. Well, interesting and a little nutty.

Martial Arts for clowns. I call it, Kung Fool. :)

See, I used to take Karate, but I stopped a long time ago. I often regret not continuing. Well, it occurred to me recently that they have martial arts for the drunk(drunken boxing), so why not martial arts for the wacky?

I would like to see a new style of martial arts develop tailor-made for clowns and other wackos. Kung Fool. I'd sign up in a heartbeat. :D

Sounds like a good plan but is Jackie Chan not the Clown King of Kung Fu? :D

Go watch a few of his movies for inspiration. He especially pays homage to his heroes (Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, etc.) in the recent film Shanghai Knights. 8)

His drunken Kung Fu also kicks ass!

Hehe, agreed, Jackie Chan is brilliant! But he's getting old and is there anyone to pick it up when he leaves the arena? Maybe we need Kung Fool...

Kung Fool could be quite good. Bruce Lee used strange noises to distract his opponents. Kung Fool could take it one step further.

Jackie Chan had his 50th birthday a few days ago. Apr 7 I think.

Let me tell you. You haven't experienced a real ass-kicking til you've gotten your ass kicked by a guy in a clown suit. :lol:
