I did what I promised myself I'd never do....

[SARS_Attacks]

....and bought a piece of TapouT apparel....shorts to be exact. Saw them at the PX and thought "I know I'll look like a douche when I wear them...buuuut, they look so damn comfy, its hot as a mug out here, and the other, more fashionable shorts, seem to always be out of stock in my size." So yeah, I risked looking like a poser for the sake of comfort...and to a lesser extent, fashion. I shall hang my head in shame now....and make sure to always hold a non-aggressive posture whenever I wear them out and about(or I may just do the opposite and always have MMA gloves and a mouth guard on deck...then start random fights where I implore people to get in my guard).

Have any of you ever broken a promise to yourself for the sake of comfort and/or fashion?

[Lebell]

Not really, I always stay true to myself.

No. But I did go and see the twilight film because my sister wanted company.

Yeah, but that's not really bad 'cause you were just being a good brother.

[syberia]

Hmmm. That passes as an excuse. lol.

[SARS_Attacks]

Hey, at least you didn't use HER as an excuse to go see the movie because you actually wanted to see the movie, but didn't want to look like a pussy...sadly, I did this with my younger brother to go see the first Pokemon movie...all because I wanted to get that damned trading card....I was well in my teens at the time :(

Pokebitch.

There's guys at my gym who wear tap out stuff. Some of them can kick my ass so I allow it. The others are the ones who turn up for two lessons, buy a dojo shirt and vanish.

Would that also be equivalent to sporting a Modern Army Combatives t-shirt even though you haven't even gone through the Level 1 course(hopefully will soon thanks to my 1SG)? 'Cause I'm slightly guilty of that one, too. -_-' I'm just full of fail right now.

[syberia]

I'm just full of fail right now.

It's winter, exam period and I should be at training right now.

I'm right there with you, mate.

[SARS_Attacks]

Sheeit, at least you're lucky enough with the option of training in what you want to train in. I'm in TKD/HKD country....trying to find what I want out here is like finding a needle in a Korean haystack.

[gregaquaman]

No that is a win. Take your tapout gear to the pub. Piss off a bouncer and then say"Don't fuck with me I do Taekwondo"

Do a couple of head high air kicks to show that you are serious.

[SARS_Attacks]

Not quite sure that'll work with the bouncers here in Korea.....

[gregaquaman]

Oh maby it is an Australian thing. Trust me it scares the crap out of them here.

Oh and by the way I wear skintight training gear.

[Ignorami]

Every time I'm cleaning the stains back out of my carpet.


Training gear-wise though:
I am by far the shittest kicker in my MT class. I'd go as far as to say I am the shittest kicker in any class of anything. I have, however, got some really awesome shin/instep pads.

I'd look like a poser in them if I could kick. The incompetence shown in action just makes the whole situation hilarious.

[tao.jonez]

Do you actually own any TapouT gear for training? Shinguards, rashie, anything?

I will only wear the fashion Tshirt if I own/use the gear. And if I find the buttfuck that stole my Twins visor I'll beat his ass. I got that shit on closeout and they don't make them anymore.
