Kaminari Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 I have bowed in many places, including into/out of my home, when thanking people (like many others have mentioned), and once out of the bathroom, which got me some odd stares.
Kieran-Lilith Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Hmm...I keep randomly starting to practice kata, and that gets a LOT of weird looks, especially the bowing, then the rest of it...heheh...it's a good kata, I like practicing it. Ummm...where else have I bowed....I bowed to my boss, I bowed to my parents, I bowed to my friend (he's higher ranking than me, but this was outside the dojo.). Oh! How could I forget? The other day when my friends and I were together, we had duels with plastic glowing lightsabers. We conducted them as sparring matches, so there was bow to the judge, bow to each other, fighting stances, hajime! Heheh...we had fun doing that. Oddly enough, I'm the only one who came out unharmed... He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu
cheeks Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 i have not started to bow at random yet (which is good) but i have a problem with fidgeting.i will be sat on the bus or whatever and then suddenly do a palm block and reverse punch, just cant help itand if something is on the floor, i will step down in to a horse stance or a cross stance to pick it up. If you have just read the above message and agree with it then you may worship me as the best thing since sliced bread. Of course if you don't agree then hey, i'm a crazed lunatic and you should ignore my insane ramblings.

Also sometimes when I have nothing to do i automaticly start preforming a kata. "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
Sam Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 bowed to the shop attendant when i said thank you .... whoops
Menjo Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I bowed at a chinese resturant by mistake once and the owner thought I was being racist so I was banned from a very nice resturant "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
Menjo Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I saw him at a friends kung-fu place before, and he was really good, lol "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
Sam Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Still you should have tried...again back on topicI have a habbit of bowing to people that come to my door when i say bye.
Kieran-Lilith Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I bowed while I was welcoming the guests into the restraunt tonight...definitely a few odd looks, even from my co-workers...then, they know I'm the "karate girl"...of course, they were getting kinda buzzed....
