You know you’re hiding out when...

You know you’re hiding out when...

1. You drink a lot of water so you have to take a bathroom break during practice....

2. You deliberately get injuries so you can warn people to take it easy on that side....

3. Suddenly, doing randori with a woman doesn’t seem that bad an idea....

4. You don’t mind going out on the mat with brown belts and black belts because you know they won’t actually break anything....

Any others?

Sparring with a woman is a bad idea?

You strategically position youself around the noobs and away from the experienced players.

If you're hiding out why are you even going to regular training? Wouldn't people be able to find you that way?

Ah, hiding in plain sight. The martial artist who appears to put alot of time in but never seems to get better, or if he does it is just marginally so.

6. In sparring, you will deliberately throw a kick from the leg with the "bum hip," wince, make a remark like "I shouldn't have tried that," and hobble off of the mat for a rest or water break.
