You Know You've Been In the Martial Arts Too Long When...

[rainbows]

When you start buying your jeans based on whether or not you can kick to the head with them on.

Guilty as charged.

When you can't remember what it feels like not to hurt somewhere...

Oh so true lol... owww laughing hurts

When your children practice their nunchaku kata with a pair of socks while dressing for school.

OK Please Understand my Spanish isn't to good but I ave done this...

When In Spanish Some One Asks you if "You Speek Spanish , and you reply Yes In Japanese..."

"Yo Abla Espanyol.... Hai"

When the quality of your day is determined not by if you make a training session, but by how many training sessions you make.

Your co-workers ask you why you're always stretching.

Your co-workers and acquaintances ask you in concerned tones if you and your boyfriend are doing okay, thanks to all the bruises.

The walls or your workplace have shoe-marks on them at hip-height.:uhohh:

Your roommate watches you cringe in pain from yesterday's class as you run out the door to make today's, thinks you are completely and utterly insane--and she's right.

Your life would be dull, empty, and dreary without martial arts.

You realize that if you ever want a boyfriend you can't beat into the ground blindfolded, you'll have to find a fellow martial artist who isn't taken (good luck...)

Hmmm, my ears are burning. Same with the shoemarks on the walls, goshawk!

When you give your sister a karambit knife as a present, you know in the event she ever needs to use one

*When folks around stare at you as you unconsciously stretch your wrists as if Aikido class were about to start
*When your standing talking to someone and at the same time on the sides of your feet for a good stretch
*When you wash dishes in Kibidachi
*When you take a shower and call it Misogi
*When you take a short cut over the bed with an Akimi roll
*When your golf clubs are good devices for practicing Kamae
*When you walk to your car and your biggest key happens to stick out between your middle finger and forefinger
*You get annoyed with everyone who imitates the Crane Technique
*When everyone asks, "what belt are you"
