I grew up with a dear friend named "XXX Murphy" and he is about 5'9 and lean.
Had his blackbelt when probably 15 or so, (the man's version of a blackbelt, not the child's)
he was tough as nails and we lived by Camp Lejeune, lots of Marines would be feeling frisky after completing their basic training and just arriving at CL.
Mike Murphy had pine trees in his yard but none had any bark on them, from where he had beaten the bark off every tree in his yard.
He was always in trouble, he is in NC Central prison right now, damn good fella just a little wild.
He would start a fight in a bar every time, but to his credit, it was always with the biggest Marine in there that thought they were King Kong.
He was as good as Chuck Norris and even appeared in a few martial arts films shot in NC at our film studios (wilmington) as "stand ins" and in the ninja hood outfits.
You would not think twice about crawling on his ass if you saw him but you would be knocked out within seconds.......I saw it happen on the 15th ands the 30th of every month. (Military paydays).
One Saturday night, at the the traffic circle in Atlantic Beach, NC (Morehead), the local Pagan MC Club always parked their bikes in front of this one popular nightclub.
Murphy said "watch this" and walked up to the biker line up on the sidewalk and there was this fatass nasty looking guy with his woman sitting on the back of the bike and Murphy says to her,
"what are you doing with these faggots". This is the God's truth, before it was over there were 4 ambulances hauling bikers on gurneys away. It was like a scene from a Bruce Lee film.
Murphy is in the black ghee in this old photo of mine. He is a local legend in eastern NC
