Man who sought a karate fight in the nude gets a month in jail
Gary Jones was convicted after pleading guilty to walking out of his home naked, then challenging his neighbors to a karate fight. Jones told police he knew leaving the house naked was illegal, but he was a "serious martial artist." (EveningSun.com)
...and is restricted from any contact with his neighbors.
for which I'm sure they are very grateful.

He just wanted to show off his Wang Chung and Won Hung Low.

Wow, I didn't know that serious martial artists picked naked karate fights with the neighbors. You learn something new every day.

Wow, when I should have taken karate. There was this one instructor I would have loved to do naked ground fighting with.

His neighbors' kids knew he was naughty
For coming out naked. They thought he
Was nuts. And if sauced,
He might well have lost
A fight, despite knowing karate.

I think there is the potential for a movie based on this guy. Maybe they can get Ralph Machio to play him.

"Serious martial artist." Everyone knows that only frivolous, non-serious, goof-off martial artists wear those outfits with colored belts. I am surprised the cops didn't back off, with their hands palms out, and say, "Okay, fella, go right ahead, then."

Chrysos--I missed that little nugget the first time I read the story. That definitely explains a lot (no pun intended).

In the new movie, Ralph Macchio would not master the Flying Crane, but instead the Rigid Trouser Snake position.
