Like all the other topics in this book, martial arts was a huge obsession of mine when I was growing up. Inspired by The Karate Kid and the Ninja Turtles (rebranded as Hero Turtles to protect our delicate British constitutions), there was a period when all my pocket money went on karate magazines, and I could often be found practising clumsy kicks in the garden that I'd learned from library borrowed teach-yourself-tough manuals whose pages smelled of sour milk and low self-esteem. I don't know why I never thought to take actual classes. I think the DIY nature of big-screen training montages, where average Joes unknowingly molded themselves into black belt wizards by balancing on turtles or waxing cars led me to believe I could do it on my own. I have a vivid memory of a sunny afternoon spent 'painting' a fence with a brush dipped in plain water, using that same repetitive up-down motion that had unleashed the hidden power within Daniel-san, and figuring – wrongly, as it turned out – that I was making myself unpunchable...When I'm an adult, I thought, I'll have all of these weapons in my Kung Fu arsenal, and I'll be the coolest man alive! Boys will fear me, and girls will think me a proper hunk, defeating the bullies and the scrappy footballer kids with fashionable haircuts with my flying leap-kick.
