WolverineGuy Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 My roomate finally got involved, along with a close friend of ours...I'm one of their instructors there, but its a blast training with them because they are so geeked about everything, and we are constantly working on stuff at home...I swear my apartment is a MA research lab.

Kaju_influenced Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Sure almost all my close friends are MA's anyways, its great having martial brothers and sisters hopefully we all can see this and soon the world would be a better place.

Yoshimitsu Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 I also have friend's in my class that I train with and invite over to my house and stuff. We were actually friend's before the MA class and one of them asked me and then some of my friend's followed me into the class and so on and so forth. It's always nice to know you have someone to train with. Michael Smith
ramymensa Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Friendships from MA tend to be good and long lasting. Maybe because when training with someone it gets almost intimate. You'd let someone puch, kick or throw you. That takes some confidence in the other person. It's all about a good relation, otherwise accidents would happen. From this respect and caring attitude can develop a great friendship .. i guess World Shotokan Karate
Withers M.A.A. Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Most of the friends I've made over the years in Martial Arts I still have even though some of them don't even train anymore. Not a bad way of meeting new and exciting people 2nd Degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. 1997 NASKA competitor-2nd place Nationally in Blackbelt American Forms. Firearms activist!

GhOsCeLL Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 Nah, I don't really socialize outside of karate with my dojo buddies. "Osu!"
