I can't say I have seen many that I know shave.

 

I myself have been shaving my entire body for several years now. Not for MA reasons but because I don't like being as hairy as I am (pretty much as shaggy as Robin Williams). :o

 

I think shaving looks better as well. Helps show off the defined muscles you get with intense MA training IMO. :idea:

i have "heard" some people do it so they can get out of arm bars/leg locks, etc easier...but im sure most of it is just cosmetic.

no, not that i have ever heard of. that would be sort of weird. lol

 

What is weird about shaving your legs and body? Most women I know these days would rather a man be smooth than super hairy. :)

 

I would not have shaved my body except I fall in the later catagory and I am always hot and less body hair seems to help me stay cool especially in summer.

I shave before a fight, because there is a lot of "incidental" hairpulling while grappling.

Interesting topic. I would never shave my legs. I would feel like a little boy again. LOL
