It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

it's simply visually hard to show talented tough guys who are little.

Being 190 of muscle and 6' isn't little. And Hollywood shows smaller tough guys all the time.

I thought the point was that advertising for the school should be based on people who don't look tough using krav maga.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

teeth or no teeth, mac has the most winning smile in the world.

DH insists today hasn't been bad, but for me it has been maddening. Beyond frustrating. I think I need a vacation from being a parent. All the little things? The third tantrum of the day (not to mention the three that come after that one)? The second puddle of piss on the floor? The fifth time the Legos get dumped in the den? Today they've ALL bugged the shit out of me for some reason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not just that the guys they use look tough. It's that they're insanely tough. It's like a battle of brick walls. It's not just training that separates them from us. It's a whole lot of genetics. There are plenty of just-a-bit-bigger-than-normal work-out-a-lot guys they could use, but for some reason they skip over small, skip over normal, and go right to the beasts.

Oh, that makes sense. Am I gonna have fun watching it? Should I tivo it?

The status is NOT quo.

Kathy, I agree with Beth, fwiw.

ita, I wish that they showed the little women because it would actually motivate me to get my butt in there. The beasts intimidate the hell out of me.

Looks liked mixed martial arts and special ops. I'm guessing krav is special ops? Or am I hopeless out of touch?

I swear to god, I don't need another huge vet bill this month. Fuckme fuck fuck.

I'm terribly afraid there is something toxic in my apt that I did not put out and don't know about. This is goddamned ridiculous.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A less simple explanation may be that it's simply visually hard to show talented tough guys who are little.

Bruce Lee wasn't tall.

You just put the camera at a lower angle looking up.

Plus, you get somebody as charismatic and amazing as Bruce Lee.
