Fiddle-dak Price was born on the marsh coast on the lower-road side of intersection 238, in the year *****05. He died two hours prior to the writing of this Kryco Report. He was aged fifty-five years. A gypsy by birth, he will be most remembered as a boxer and bare knuckle fighter. He fought many bouts in his early years and was defeated only by Masahiko Kimura, the great Japanese judo champion of the Secret Judo society. He was defeated by Kimura on two occasions, the first time being when the two met in the hull of a barge, and the second when Kimura killed Price at a secret venue of the Secret judo Society. There was of gap of 31 years between these battles.

Masahiko Kimura

Though the battles between Price and Kimura were fierce and bloody, it would be a mistake to think of these two as hated enemies. The first bout was convened before either of them had known each other. It was arranged for financial reasons only. The bout lasted 12 minutes and was a turning point in Price's life. Up until then he had pummelled his opponents into a bloody pulp, usually winning within the first few minutes. On this occasion his ignorance of grappling techniques became apparent. Kimura was not willing to trade blows with Price (although he was more than capable of doing so) and took Price to the ground with a crushing shoulder technique. They grappled for a few minutes until Kimura secured an armlock and snapped Prices arm. Price refused to surrender, and the bout continued. It was at this point that Price managed to dislocated Kimura's jaw with a powerful upper-cut, but the blow did not succeed in rendering him unconscious. Again, Kimura took Price to the ground and within one minute had choked him out. The bout was over.

Is Judo Better?

The defeat forced Price to reconsider his fighting skills. He had always believed that judo was 'bollocks' but having been defeated by pure judo techniques he vowed to understand all that there was about judo and grappling. He became a frequent visitor of the Leverdore judo pavilion and Mac's gym, and was even coached by Kimura himself, who had the utmost respect for Price's courage and spirit. The two became good friends and frequent guests in each others houses, and were often seen drinking beer together in the Bull's Horn at lower Wogtown.

Or is Boxing?

Although Fiddle-dak mastered judo, becoming a seventh dan and a high ranking member of the Secret judo society, he was never happier than when he was pounding powerful blows into his heavy punch bag. He continued to box, and with great success, utilizing all the combat skills he had in his arsenal. Fiddle-dak became one of the best all-round fighters of all time. In recognition of this he was made head of atemi-waza (Striking techniques) at the Secret Judo Society. His curriculum became known as 'Pikey Boxing', and was subsequently published in book form a few years later. His final bout with his good friend Masahiko Kimura resulted in the Fiddle-dak's death. It is not yet known why these two fought a final battle, only that Fiddle-dak agonised for days before challenging Kimura to a fight. It is believed that the bout lasted for more than an hour.

It is a little known fact that Fiddle-dak price loved the ballet.

Fiddle-dak Price is survived by his wife, Margaret, and their four childen.
