Athena Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 something's been bugging me for a while -.-in the thread 'you know you're addicted to martial arts when..."someone mentioned being proud of bruises and stuf...and i saw a few admit to it. So I wonder...how can anyone be proud of bruises? Strike first. 'Til then i will not fight you. Everytime someone calls JKD a style, Bruce turns over.Why do I love Bruce Lee? Not because he was an awesome martial artist- but because his train of thought overlapped with mine even before I knew about him. Thank you karate forums, for introducing me to Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateEd Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Perhaps one got a bruise in the course of learning a valuable lesson or while accomplishing something one thought he was unable to do. That might make the bruise something one would be proud of. Ed Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanSK Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 its a guy thing...You might be right about that. Even the gals I know that LOVE contact don't brag about their bruises like us guys do.

marie curie Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I disagree, me and my girlfriends are always proud of our bruises. We show them off like tattoos I don't know why, exactly, but I do know that if I'm covered in bruises and happy about it, I look tough and hardcore, so that is probably a big reason.

IcemanSK Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ok, you like like to show 'em off. I've met few who do. You're also those gals that, when they get hit, they smile as if to say, "that didn't hurt." You folks scare me Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything.

bushido_man96 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It is like a bragging right, kind of. It shows that you do something different than anyone else, and these are the results of your unique training. I especially like to show off the ones I get when weapons fighting. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
