Athena Posted July 23, 2007 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
KarateEd Posted July 23, 2007 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

Then you've never met me. I always brag about my bruises, though I'm not quite sure why External training without the training of the mind is nothing

marie curie Posted July 24, 2007 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. You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
IcemanSK Posted July 24, 2007 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. Kevin "Superkick" McClinton
bushido_man96 Posted July 24, 2007 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
