You Might be a MA

You might be a martial artist if....

 

You find yourself casually standing in a half cat stance.

 

You trip, go into a roll and come up in a fighting stance. In church.

 

You answer your boss Ussss.

 

You put your hands together in a martial arts bow position (one hand open the other closed) after grace at the dinner table.

 

You tie your bathrobe belt in a square knot. Then check to make sure the ends are exactly even.

 

You accept change from the cashier using a perfect knife hand with the thumb carefully tucked in.

 

Every time you handle a screwdriver or razor knife, etc. You just can't help changing grip from hammer to reverse to flip over to dagger grip etc. And your shop help is standing cautiously far, far away from you.

 

When you're outside doing landscaping/gardening you "practice" with all the neat weapons.

......if you do a spinning hook kick on the pinata at your neighbors kids birthday party
My friend (a fellow blackbelt) and I made a duck pinata (don't ask) to celebrate the birthdays of two blackbelts from our school...their bdays are 3 days apart. We even had the breaking of the pinata at the dojo, it was pretty cool. Being martial artists, we thought it would be pretty cool to kick the pinata open. :idea:

 

Bad idea.

 

For one thing, we made the pinata out of a shoebox, some paper plates, and duct tape, because we didn't want to mess with papier mache. Also, we were feeling kind of evil and thought it would be pretty challenging. SO, not only did the thing hurt like the devil to kick, it took a tremendous beating (we eventually upgraded to a thick bo staff) before it would open...thus causing the candy inside to disintegrate and stick to everyone's bare feet :lol:

 

We have since decided that our pinata construction was far superior to any other type :lol:

 

That doesn't have much to do with the topic, Quiet Dragon's post just reminded me of it.

I remember doing forms in my advanced class. and my back of my gi ripped so my buttocks was showing. Good thing I was wearing undewear. lol! that was embarrasing. I am just glad it wasn't at a tourment were there would be people I didn't know.

 

Another time I thought was funny is. Well lets talk about something else in relation to this for a second. We have a sister school I go to some times to train for fun. Both Shaolin Kempo schools but some instructers have diffrent back ground with other instructors and training emphasis.

 

Well any way back at my school I was up in the advanced class again doing form at my belt level. I was going through few of the moves and then I got stuck. We were getting ready for some tournment so I started making up moves on the spot and kept my composure. At the end every one was impressed even my instructor said is that some some form you learned from Sensei mike. I said no i just got stuck in the middle of the form and made up the rest. They just laughed.

 

Our sister school the instructor comes from diffrent back ground line in shaoliin Kempo so some of the moves are done slightly diffrent as well as some of the forms. I thought the experience was funny.

A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro
