aefibird Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Murphy's Laws of Martial Arts The wimp who made it through the eliminations on luck alone will suddenly turn into Bruce Lee when you're up against him. The referee will always be looking the other way when you score. The day you leave work early to make it to class on time, the instructor will be sick. The instructor will only use you during demonstrations for joint-locking techniques. If you have to use your training in self-defense, your attacker's father will be a lawyer. After a flawless demonstration, you will trip on your way back to your seat. After years of training without a single injury, you will pull a groin muscle the night before your black belt grading. In an otherwise vacant locker room, the only other person will have the locker right next to yours. No matter how many times you take care of it before your grading, you will invariably have to go to the bathroom when it's your turn. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

Rotten Head Fok Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 After many years of sparring, the Instuctor ask you to spar with the new student that lands a good strike on you with their first try. Staying late to get in more practice in the back room, you goto leave and find yourself locked-in. During an annual training seminar with 300 students the grandmaster has everyone's attention while he demonstrates techniques on you; you break-wind. You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.
