What a complete show off and a let down to MA. I like wearing my gi and have lots of photo's but would never wear it out in public like that, like to go shopping and stuff...thats just asking for trouble. Guess all i can say is that he deserved it!

Wow, it has been awhile since I saw this thread. To answer your question Martial Arthur, I would not know whether his instructor allowed him to wear his uniform outside of the dojo, but every dojo has rules to follow and I am betting this guy has been obviouse to not go along with the rules most of his MA training. I guess he can explain himself to his instructor as to why he got his rump kicked.

my god, it's people like him who are ruining all that MA stands for.

When ever someone finds out i'm a black belt the first thing they say is "So you think you can take me?"

I was at a music store with my gi on once, because i was on my way to class and wasn't informed that we were stopping at a music store, or else i not have worn my gi. Not 10 seconds after i walked out, this stupid teenaged guy, trying to show off to a bunch of girls says:

"Hey do you do karate?" (i was still a brown belt at the time) i said "Yeah."

"What belt are you?"

"What does it look like?"

"Hey, you wanna fight me?"

my little brother was with me, so i just laughed and walked away. Other wise i would said something back. I mean, what an idiot.

"Hey look at me, i'm an 18 year old guy who is going to show off how tough he is by challanging a scawny little 14 year old girl to fight me." It desgusted me.

A black belt used to be something that was respected.

In my city, there are three dojo's within a 3 mile radius of ours.

One is part of a gym, the teachers their are totally incompatant.

Another is a school where one of the rules on the wall is "Be loyal to ones country." You can get a black belt in less than two years.

And the final is called "Elite Martial Arts" Again, everyone is practiacaly garunteed a black-belt. And these are some of the rudest kids ever, they love to challenge people to fight, at tournements, their instrutor has filled their heads with nonsense about how their school is better then everyone elses, and they are so competative that it ruins the whole point of a tournement. You go up and introduce yourself to one of them as a guesture of kindness and good sportsmanship and they are compleatly rude to you.

MA, is supposed to make you a better person on the inside, it teaches you values that in this day in age are rarely seen. Yet even now our our beloved word of MA, those values are being trampled on by people like the guy this post was written about.

I would love to be able to lecture this guy...

I was always told not to wear the uniform unless I was doing a TKD related event. I don't like wearing it in public, and prefer to change in the locker room at my school.

When someone asks about me studying martial arts, I try not to make a big deal out of it. I am proud that I do it, and I am proud of what I have achieved, but I don't like to brag. That can get you into trouble.

The attitude that the guy in the initial post had was pretty bad in my opinion. The "I want people to know what they are getting into" routine it seems like.

I like to wear my red, white and blue glitter gi with my satin black belt and a big "rising sun" headband everywhere I go, and I usually carry at least one pair of chrome nunchuka to let the street punks know I mean business. My Hummer is covered with MA stickers from my school and I have a big kanji tattoo that says "Don't Mess With Okinawa" on my forearm. I always keep my head shaved and my goatee groomed because it shows what a bad dude I really am. These punks in my town will DEFINITELY know who they're messing with.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I could have my dad print t-shirts that say "I WILL kick you in the head!"

[Sohan]

I'll take the first one, bushidoman!

It is disgraceful. The only time outside of class I have a uniform on is right after Wing Chun where me and the guys go to Taco Bell... and it's not even really a 'uniform'.. just a shirt and sweatpants with Chinese symbols on them. If you're walking around in your uniform, you're LOOKING for fights, plain and simple.

[legkicker]

The only thing close to this that I do is wear my gi pants only. i always have at least a t shirt I can throw on and wear my flip flops and drive home. I don't even feel comfortable driving around with my full gi top and black belt on.

BTW, Pasa Ryu is by Kang Rhee(https://www.wbbb.org)and can be done by video testing or testing in private. From what I understand it is more "old school" Tae Kwon Do with the forms being more "shotokan'ish".
