I totally need to buy hakama and wear them to MMA one day.

That'd make for an awesome video.

Oh!So I use mae-geri ,I'm a larper

But someone who does BJJ because it's hot **** right now.Knows the terms that the Gracies created is not a LArper.

Ok I understand you now.You're full of **** and maybe have a prejudice against anything Japanese.

One thing I will say. Those hakama look comfortable. And you could gain a lot of wieght and never have to buy new pants.

For women with a fat ass and/or thunder thighs they would be a "God send", just get above the thickest part of your waist and "cinch'er down!"

If you continue to use silly terms like Mae-Geri after The movement has seized power then yes, it will be ruled LARPing and you will be punished accordingly.

Yes. All Judo-ka are LARPing when they call it Uchi Mata instead on inner reap or Ashi Berai instead of foot sweep.

Same logic wearing a gi is Larping. When Japanese DON'T wear Hakama they are LARPing as Westerners.

....so do I take the silence (read suprising lack of ridicule) as assent that I can wear my silly bedsheets when I train?

***Plasma*** · Posted On: 6/05/2006 5:08pm

if you admit you are LARPing.

That's if you expect a rational response.You don't really believe you will right?

No. I mean, one of the guys objecting to "LARPing" is a student of an offshoot of Bujinkan. I tend not to take the ninjer trolls too seriously.

OK, now I'm confused. so if I say I wear something as my usual attire due to it being indicatory of my life's work, that's LARPing? Is it LARPing when an Army officer wears fatigues? Are you saying that in order for me to not be LARPing, I would have to go to the place where I train,take off my usual attire, and put on something completely different, then, when I was done training, put on my regular attire again and leave? How is that not the definition of LARPing? I'm not role-playing as a monk, I AM a monk. Doesn't there need to be a clause somewhere abut this? If I put on a white lab coat and walked around spouting nonsense or even researched medical jargon, I would be LARPing a doctor, but if I went through medical school and got my degree and a decent job, THEN went around with a white lab coat and spouting medical jargon, I wouldn't be LARPing.
