Chris Mainwaring - Justin Langer

Inadvertantly Justin is going to get dragged into this.
And it looks like it will head to "court" big time with Ben Cousin's subsequent involvement.
For those that dont know Justin was sparring with former West Coast Eagles Australian Football League premiership player Chris Mainwaring the day he died. For an upcoming "kick-boxing" bout the following Thursday night during a Perth telefon to raise money.
During the cause of the same day West Coast Eagle aussie rules ex premiership player and brownlow medalist (top aussie rules player 2005) and previously busted recreational drug user Ben Cousins visited Chris apparently before and after his sparring sessions with Justin.
Justin is a multiple "dan" black belt in a version of "Tae kwan doe" in actual fact prior to his rise to prominance in cricket he was rated as number #3 in Australia in all forms of "Tae kwan doe" as a 20 year old.
Justin mentioned he was worried about his prospective opponents weight advantage prior to the fight. But his opponent was probably a lot more worried about how many kick shots to the head he was going to take from a master of the craft.
Not that the fight matters, Mainy has left behind kid's who deserve to know what happened to their dad. Who was sparring against Justin fit as a fiddle earlier in the day and who was dead within 2-3 hours of seeing Ben Cousins later on.

You wouldnt want to be messing around with Langer who is no sissy Tae Kwon Do fighter (who are the softlys of the martial arts world, because it is more of a sport than a deadly art) he is third dan Zen Do Kai. Which is a mix between a lot of different fighting styles made by Bob Jones. Its a mix between Thai Kickboxing (muay thai), Boxing, Jujitsu (wrestling), Karate & Tae Kwon Do to name a few. Its sort of mixed martial arts, freestyle.
