patusai Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I don't know karate but I know 7 other Japanese words!The principle at our school told me that when he found out I do karate. Well, actually, he said, "I know Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, Karate, and seven other Japanese words," to which I responded, "Tae Kwon Do is Korean, and Kung Fu is Chinese.": "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathal Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I have had a few, with a sucker punch thrown in. One of the ppl I used to work with threw it at my face, which I promptly slapped away. He nodded as though he were my sensei and said "...so Karate has really improved your reaction time". I politely suggested that he go to one of our classes to check on his. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottnshelly Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I usually get the "black belt from Walmart" and "so you can beat me up" ones. I also hear how they, or their brother, took some lessons when they were a kid or their uncle taught them some stuff. I also get silly references to Mr. Miyagi, Chuck Norris, "Kung Fu Master", "wax on wax off", "hiii ya" and all the others.Who is it out there that's teaching everyone the crane stance and judo chop anyway? There has to be an instructor somewhere that is handing out ranks based solely on the crane stance and judo chop, because I know a lot of people that know those two "deadly moves."

KarateGirl1387 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I get annoyed when people (especially total strangers that I serve at work) find out I do karate and then totally assume that I must be ridiculously good at it just because I'm Korean. ("Wow, it must be in your blood!" ) Don't get me wrong, I think I'm great at it, but I'm not super-spectacular, Matrix-esque at it. And being Asian doesn't automatically make you a person who's born with the "martial arts gene." Oy, some people... "It's not just Karate, it's a way of life."

Tef Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 that reminds me of when people get surprised when i tell them i do MA becuz im latino. Also, my favorite thing to do when people hold weak crane stances is say: "that's nice, now lets see who can hold it longer."
