Henry Winkle was short and skinny.

Watch "Glove Story" from the final season. Chachi is in a boxing match with a broken hand. Leo, his opponent, is beating up on him even after Howard has thrown the towel in the ring. Fonzie jumps in, Leo throws a punch at him, and Fonzie clocks him with a seriously wicked right cross. That one punch from Fonzie was more than enough to show what he could do in a fight.

"I saw no episodes where he "hit" anyone, but he did kick a cuppla guys in a gymnasium. He stood on his hands and kicked 2 guys at same time."
If this is the episode in the school gym where Richie, Ralph, and Potsie fought three guys from the gang that was trying to initiate Joanie by having her make-out with every member, it was Fonzie and Carmine from Laverne and Shirley that stood on their hands and kicked the guys. -

The 'greaser' types had "gangs" and the good kids had "clubs".
Let's see if we can remember all of them.- Falcons
- Red Devils
- Dragons
- War Mongers
- Gems
- Magnets
- Demons
Have I forgotten any? I know the Angora Debs were in Milwaukee but they were only on Laverne & Shirley.

IcingOnTheCake is THE GOODS. I have seen her postings on this and the "Laverne & Shirley" Boards. Most of the people who post on imdb are rude bozos with personal agendas who know nothing. It is a pleasure to see posts from an intelligent human being.

There was also that girls' club, The Assorted Nuts. They were always in the background. I think the only time they were ever actually referred to was in the first episode, where Ralph mentioned liking all of them.

Lynda Goodfriend, the actress who portrayed Lori Beth, was in that club for a couple of episodes as a girl named Kim.
She was Ralph's date for prom and Richie's when the group was stuck in the Cunningham Hardware vault. -

"It is a testament to Winkler's acting talents that he portrayed the Fonz as fearless and unafraid."
It would be a testament to your writing talents if you could explain the difference between "fearless" and "unafraid". -

I work with a guy who is a defensive tactics expert. He's 5' 5" tall. I saw him take down an over 6 foot tall inmate in a matter of seconds and literally had the "thug" crying real tears. It's the old saying, "it's not the sizeof the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog".

the show was geared towards children. Children just saw all adults as bigger than them.
The point was for Fonzie to be liked so it was rare for a kid to see him actually fight. We were supposed to know he was tough without seeing him hurt anyone.
It was mentioned in the episode in which he tries to teach Richie to be tough that if one acts tough then the other guys usually backs down before anything has to happen.
