When I was single and in college, I used to shadow box and practice forms with my shirt off near the girls dorms. Does that count?
No weapons training yet, but the sparring gets some looks from time to time.
I get more looks from people when I return from a day at the range, no one is sure what is in the long cases in the trunk and I don't think they want to know :ultracool
i have a heavy bag in my backyard & do boxing out there. for a while me & another guy were sparring with sticks once a week or so.
who cares what the neighbors think? i'm the guy with the stick.

The cows never really had much to say anyway.Do any of you folks practice MA in your front or back yard? Do your neighbors still talk to you?
I had a rather...interesting...discussion with my mom when I was visiting her over Thanksgiving. When I am in NC, I like to visit my friend Bill Parsons' school for a nice Kenpo workout. Unfortunately that didn't happen this time due to family plans.
I had a good bit of gear in the back of my car so I spent some time in my mom's back yard swinging some sticks and a few other toys. My mom seemed a bit bemused by it. Her back yard is fenced in, but it would not be impossible for one of her neighbors to see me practicing. I suspect one of them did, because when I came in from practice she asked me what my neighbors think of what I do.
I said I didn't know. The environment where I live is a bit too urban for me to comfortably practice outside, so I generally get in my outdoor practice at work, once people leave.

:goop:I have a private dojo in my back yard built as a separate structure. I also have a deck attached to my home and I frequently train kobudo on it (bo, sai, kama, etc). My neighbors don't pay too much attention, although they do get occasionally annoyed when I have a lot of students over and they park in front of their homes.
