It's funny. People are like, "Oh you're a blue/purple belt in BJ-what?" but when you mention your TKD/Krotty/Etc.. black belt, they are like, "WHOA! Badass wouldn't wanna mess with you!"

That's hilarious yet sadly true. My BJJ blue belt and time spent doing MMA etc amounts to glazed expressions and disinterest when compared to my black belt in 'ninjutsu'.
Trying to explain to clients why I have a black eye or cauliflower ear has gotten to the point that I find it easier to just say I play rugby. When I did say it was from martial arts training it resulted in me trying to explain that a) I was indeed a family man and business professional and b) not someone whose sole interests were in adding to a burgeoning collection of tattoos and Tapout shirts in between 'cagefights' where I would spend time beating the **** out of people for purely sadistic reasons. One step forward and two steps back! -
