ZR440 Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 You people have it easy. Try telling someone you are practicing Kuk Sool Won. Their heads turn on an angle, similar to a what a dog would do, and repeat back to me some blurb that might be considered offensive to some. It's easier just to say martial arts instead. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
ZeRo Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 well most of the people that know i train call it jujitsu or juju for short. but for somepeople that dont know anything i just say im goin to go and train.
BladeLee Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Typically I say im going to (insert martial art here) taekwondo or kickboxing or whatever. IF someone doesnt know what that is lol, then I would just say karate. ~BladeLee~
DeeLovesKarate Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 I usually say I'm going to class. Unless I'm helping teach, then I say "Ai-yi-yi". Most of my friends know I take karate, they just don't usually remember what the name of it is. Tae kwon do and kung fu are the most recognized arts, by the general public at my school. I can understand why some of you wouldn't tell that you practice. It comes with a lot of (ahem) comments of unpleasant nature. Especially if your short. And a girl. Not that I'm complaining. Being small has advantages in shotokan, and bjj, plus other arts, I'm sure. I think I'm about 1.67 or something like that. Anyway, monkeygirl, I agree. Short people rock.

superleeds Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Generally I say that i'm just working out. If I do say that i'm practicing karate, the bastards normally ask: Are u a black belt? are u a "dangerous person?" Those moments i just wish i had the "force" like Darh Vader Read a book!
