The Evil Betty Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Does anyone else have a pet that has a martial arts-related name? My husband and I named our cat "Ki-hap" ( which is the TSD equivalent of ki-hai, yell, etc). When we take her to the vet, they think her name is "Kia" like the car. She is a great karate cat - studies the stealth tactics of the Way of the Squirrel, the quickness of the Way of the Grasshopper, and takes on cats 3x her size (even without her front claws!). Her favorite tactic on her owners is called "stalk-pounce-bite-run"...particularly on legs! "The glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall."

CPU Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 axe kicks are cool Sparring - loved by many perfected by few
Darce Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I have 2 rabbits, 1 hamster and a turtle, but none of them have MA related names. Shukokai Karate, Orange belt ( 7. kyu)
Kirves Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I always liked how my friend had a cat named Neko (=cat in Japanese).
monkeygirl Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I named my Betta fish "The Incredible Joe Kanshi" Kanshi = Fish in Japanese...so he's basically a superhero named Joe Fish. Ummm I named a neopet "Chia_kun_do". That's as close as I came 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
battousai16 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 "I named my Betta fish "The Incredible Joe Kanshi" Kanshi = Fish in Japanese...so he's basically a superhero named Joe Fish." ...that's gotta be the coolest pet name i've ever heard i named my cat shelby, after my running idol, who i believe is also a martial artist. and she likes to sneak around and pounce on me and claw/bite at my ankles; i have no doubt she's training when i'm at school "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
The Evil Betty Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 That's great! "The glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall."
