At work, school, & other time outside of class, do you think about training often? Do you spend time outside of class with training partners? Obviously, it's a bit of time because we're all on here. Do you spend time doing something & wish you were training?

My answer...YES, a lot! How about you?

Allllllllll the time! every time I'm at work, Martial arts is the biggest thing in my life so takes up the most of my thinking time...

I think about it too much lol. it always seems to be in the back of my mind .

It's a constant on my mind!!

For me training is not only in the Kwoon/Dojo/Gym.........Years ago My teacher and very good friend James Soo and also my very good friend Joe Musse. Expressed their views on taking it to the next level. For them it was not just training in the school environment. It extends on how one drives their car - on how one walks - the hand gestures - opening a door - pushing buttons on an elevator and so much more..............I've meet many Martial artists in my time Karate - Kung Fu ............however of all the Martial artists that I'VE MET - James and Joe stand above. A little story - about a year ago Joe and I were having lunch - crossing the street - we had the right of way - a livery cab cuts us right off. Instead of us being upset - he gets out of the car and starts cursing at us while walking towards us. i did not get it - it was 2 of us against him 1. Waking towards us and #@%%#$. Joe just looks him and in a calm voice says "do you really want to go there". The man looks at Joe not me gets back in his car and drives off. You had to be there - at almost 62 years of age I'm still learning.

Yes i think about MA alot outside of class and even talk about it. Even though it drives my fiancee crazy.

Wait... You mean there's other things besides karate? I've got to get out more often.

When I'm not at work, it's pretty much all I think about! In my free time I'm either at training or thinking of going to training. My closest friends are also all long term training partners.

I'm considering this one.

i'm also thinking about ma that often that its sick. sometimes i wake up in the morning and have an spontanous idea for a combination or whatever and want to try immediately.

or when i'm in the supermarket or discotheque and there are strange/dubious looking guys, maybe bigger than me, i think about how i would fight them etc.
