Touche'

I'll have to try that.

Ill tell you another thing that annoys me. Its when stupid people go trying to tell me how Bruce Lee, who is one of my heros, died and saying he broke his back in a fight blah blah blah. And also when non-Ma's come and try to tell me what im doing wrong. I also dont like it when someone comes over to you and says "Oh I hear you do Martial Arts, block this, what would you do when this happens, block this!) and then they smack you. Ive actually been punched in the face by someone doing that! what do they expect me to do, break there wrist!

When asked if I am any good, i just hand them my business card and invite them to my studio.

"That when you tell someone you do martial arts or karate. The first thing out of their mouths is "You do Tae Kwon Do". "

hahahhahaha, 30 years ago if you said you do martial arts or Tae Kwon Do they would reply with" oh you do Karate".

Kiddies,
Tai Otosh (Or a tech from your system) them and ask "Does that feel like Tae Kwon Do? Didn't think so.

1. But what would you do if I kicked you in the kidneys? (from a close friend when I was showing another friend how to close fast on someone).

2. Martial Arts? That stuff would never work in a real fight.

3. A complete stranger sticking his head out the window of his car and yelling hiiiiyyyyaaa!!!! when were working out at the park.
ug, ignorance AND cowardice...that one got me pissed.

4. Occasionally...drunk friends who mouth off to others, coz they are with a KICKBOXER (no matter how many or how big or how mean looking !!!)

Sheesh!!!

The "what if" question is also very annoying.

I have never had the what if, but I'm thinking a "do it and find out" responce would be good.

I definitely agree with you on that!! :soapbox:

 

[Master of Blades]

Ahhhhh the good 'ole what if question. Forgot bout that

 

[tshadowchaser]

I may have mised a few of these so if this is a repeat forgive me but I cast a vote for the

"but thats not the way mr/miss SO-in SO showed us"

 

[IFAJKD]

My most frustrating senario is that of the person who is in martial arts and give out opinions when they have not studied it in any depth. OR the individuals who make statements like Strength or muscle is a hinderence to martial arts. Myths, myths, myths. Or the Instructor stating to their students. "this is a kill" what kinda crap is that ?

The other side of the coin is the people who leave the "martial" out of martial arts. why

 

[lungshihpo]

what bothers me the most is when they find out your into MA,they say oh really,i knew a guy who took martial arts and i kicked his a*@,that seems to get me more than anything,because what are they trying to say by that?thanks
