Elbow block

Oh, I cuss like a sailor in certain circles. But I would not cuss like that in front of Shihan. It is a boundary of his, and as I and all his students represent his dojo in the way we live our lives, it is out of respect for him that I am not always out of control every where. In certain circles it is okay. More and more, however, in public... I prefer to have a little more class these days anyway.

I agree with not cussing in public, and I try not to cuss at the school, either. But in other areas, I don't worry about trying to hide who I am to others. I respect the rules and ideals of others on their turf, but elsewhere, I don't worry about pleasing others so much.
