You know you are obssed with MA when

...you bring your first born home in the Gi you made him out of yours and your husbands first Gi's

...your sons think that in counting 1 comes after 2 because they constantly hear 1,2,1,2,1,2 at the Dojo

... your son learns to kick punch and yell before he can talk

...your 2 year old son can not tie his shoes or get himself dressed, but he CAN put on a full set of sparring gear All by himself

... you kick in shoes at the store before you buy to make sure you can pivot

... you listen to the music you will be using to compete to in your sleep

... you join every MA forum site available

... you and your husbands idea of a fun filled friday night is padding up and sparring

... you make LONG post on how you know you are addicted to MA

I AM GUILTY OF ALL OF THE ABOVE, DOES THAT MEAN I AM ADDICTED.

You are only as good as you believe you can be!

When you practice stretching on the back of your chair at work.

You stand talking to someone and practice your stances.

When doing the hoovering you move the furniture by kicking it over.

Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.

When someone extend their hand for a handshake and you block + parry it.

You take a dance class and count your steps in Japanese.

Every picture in your home is a kanji scroll.

You have Jhoon Rhee's cell phone number on speed dial.

You have more KF posts than Patrick.

You wear your gi to work on casual day.

You have been banned from Habitat for Humanity because you can't resist showing off your knife hand breaking skills on the 2 by 4s.

Your friends comment on your cool ninja costume at the yearly Halloween party, and you reply, "What

costume?"

With respect,

You suggest that in order to improve the interest at school that there needs to be more epic martial arts showdowns

You know you're obsessed with martial arts when:

Your ball-point pen looks like a lethal weapon. (And you're tempted to use it on the guy with his knees in the back of your seat)

You practice stances and balance- no hands- on the city bus.

You start flipping the bread knife while you're looking around the kitchen for food. ...forward, inverse, left, right...

You smash a cieling light practicing with your staff in the house. ( NOT good when you're barefoot)

The best a man can hope for

is, over the course of his lifetime,

to change for the better.
