You know when your obbsessed with martial arts when....

[Greenfire54]

First, i must say that I think everyone of us have done at least one of these things

-When both your hands are practicing bo sparring moves with your pencil during class

[bushido_man96]

When a leisurely walk with your wife turns into "how many kicks can you do in one block."

[Kara]

When your instintly in a good mood when you see someone training in the park as you drive by on your way to work.

When you wake up and are vagely aware that you just made a skilled* technique and there are no more blankets keeping you warm.

When your looking forward to going to class, that your there over an hour early cause you didn't look at the clock to ensure your timing.

When you go to grab someones arm who was beside you to practice a self defence technique you were just going through your head.

[P.A.L]

you run from one saloon to another in last 30 min. hopeing to find a Jet Lee movie while your wife watching a new version of gone with wind and waiting for you to come back with popcorn.

you wakeup at the middle of the night screaming that you missed you MA class. your wife swears that you didn't.

[dragonwarrior_keltyr]

hopefully I don't repeat any of these.

... when you kick holes in doors trying to shut them with kicks I've never done that

... when you trip and autimatically do a shoulder roll

... you play 'spot the martial artist' in the local mall

[dragonwarrior_keltyr]

When every single fight in a non MA tv show/film looks completely amateur, and you continue to explain this throughout the whole scene to others watching!

I do that all the time! It drives my family crazy

[mindsedgeblade]

... when you trip and automatically do a shoulder roll

LOL

I got tripped going for a pass playing football and did a backward roll and came up on my feet.

When the first word out of your parrot's mouth is KIAI!, and you teach your cat how to free spar.

When the books on your night stand are by authors like Gichin Funakoshi, Hirokazu Kanazawa and Musashi Miyamoto.

When the Twelve Days of Christmas becomes: one boxing bag, two boxing gloves, three shin pads (includes an extra pad for the one you'll inevitably lose), four Tokaido gi's, five rolls of adhesive tape....twelve cases of Tiger Balm.

When you look for a place to live based on the amount of practice space it provides.

You know when your obbsessed with martial arts when quote]

when you answer OUSS! to the boss

[Blackbelt1400]

...you start to bow as you enter any room, anywhere.

...you close doors with roundhouse or fronk kicks.

...you also bow when you shake anyone's hand.

Wow man. I do that going into places like Wal-Mart and Friendlys. Makes you feel like an idiot.
