Recognizing Another MAist!!


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately tallgeeze, I live and work in Rural Wales. I love the people and the views but it can be very tribal here. The cities are not large, some communities are sparsely populated but as they say "The Police avoid our area, there are Beasts in them there Hills." I'm only from the Island that lies to the north of the coast, a few miles away. But it was a few months before I could walk into a bar in the village. This valley is the Welshest part of Wales. You would be very brave to wear an England sports shirt around here.

Look to the far mountain and see all.

There are a few dead giveaways but otherwise it's very hard to tell.

Besides, you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover. For instance, I'm not convinced that everyone wearing an Affliction shirt or a Tapout shirt is a martial artist...

About the shirts, I loved the Tapout, Affliction wardrobe when everything first became popular, but I refused to wear it until I "earned the right". I didn't purchase a single piece of martial arts clothing until I reached Shodan level. I know it sounds silly, but it was a mental thing with me. I just didn't want to be one of those "I TRANE UFC" guys. My town isn't exactly small, but everyone still knows everyone (or they're related!!).

But the ironic part is that now that I have them, I don't even favor wearing the martial arts shirts anymore. I don't feel the need to display it. The only time I'm "mouthy" about my art is when I'm trying to promote our club.

Seek Perfection of Character

Be Faithful

Endeavor

Respect others

Refrain from violent behavior.

Other than some marked clothing, I don't usually pick up on it. I hear that some people can see it in others, but I don't always pick up on it.
