IcemanSK Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've noticed, as I look through old magazines that I have, that there was a different attitude back then. They only way I can describe it as a "shut up & train" sort of thing. There was little flash, just a focus on hard work. Uniforms were simple, competitors bowed & gave it their all.Sorry to sound like an old guy, but it ain't like that any more. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything.

RichardZ Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 There was flash. A guy by the name of Jeremy Blahemy, or something like, that put on national breaking demonstrations in a stars and stripes, red white and blue uniform.There were satin Chinese uniformsThen there were those walking around with many patches oer insignia.

But it was more the exception than the rule. Satin & the stars & stripes uniforms seemed to be more for tournaments. Today, it seems like it's the 1st uniform lil Johnny gets as a white belt when his folks sign him up in the "master's club." (Sorry. Old guy bitterness, creeping in I do miss the old days.
