    How do you guys show off your MA?

    really... showing off your martial arts skills is lame... but everybody's done it at least once... right?

    especially when you've praciced your MA for like 6~12months you have that bada$$ attitude and a sense of immortality. Some people actually start believing that they can win Fedor in vale-tudo.

    so if you're drunk, and there are girls around begging you to show off your moves...
    I mean you've got an obligation to show them something, right?


    It happened last year, at my school's annual Club Union Representative Seminar. Basically, all the club presidents, vice-presidents, and senior memebers get together, ride 2~3 hours away from Seoul to somewhere remote, and hold a conference about how to rip more money from our school. Once we are done with all that, we douse ourselves with soju to get drunk and have fun. I participated as the president of my school's Taekkyon club.

    Anyway, once we were done with all the chit-chat, I had about two bottles of soju in me, feeling pretty good, and having fun. Then someone brought up the issue of martial arts, and a girl asked me what Taekkyon was. I explained that it's a traditional Korean martial art, we do kicks, throws, sweeps, and takedowns, and she's like 'Ooh I wanna see, I wanna see!!'
    (she was kinda cute btw)

    By then everyone in the room joins in and chantss 'show me your moves!'. The TKD, Judo, Gumdo(Kendo) and other MA guys were the loudest. I figured I would spoil the fun if I declined, so I asked for a cigarette.

    Our club union secretary comes up and offers his cigarette. I ask him to light it up and hold it in his mouth. First he didn't understand what I was going to do, so I explained that I was going to put the cigarette out with a high-kick.

    the guy's face hardens but everyone, especially the girls go wild. I tell him to trust me, and that I have done this thousands of times.
    (It was actually my first time at this maneuver)

    well, the show goes on, I streched lightly, measured my distance as the cigarette burned down, and the guy was becoming more and more nervous by the second.

    I controled my breathing, counted to three, and released one of the most beautiful round-house kicks in my life.

    I had neatly nipped off just the tip of the cigarette. The embers were still glowing on the floor, and the crowd was cheering. The guy was finally relieved it was over, and I had my fun.
    (although, now that I come to think of it, I kinda feel sorry for him.. he is very nice to me, and I should have picked someone else as my victim)

    I must have been drunk off my ass that time, I mean I could have seriously injured someone even if I was sober.
    (I actually tried it when I was sober, and cut up somebody's lips)




    Well I am more mature than I was last year, I got some good beatings from masters of different styles and learned the importance of humility. But I still have urges to show off myself, especially in front of hot chics.


    But I always wonder how grapplers would show off their skills. I mean strikers like Karate, MT, TKD can break things or show kata. Do you guys demonstrate how to perform the arm-bar? or give out first hand experiences on what a rear naked choke is like?

    Yeah, every time someone asks me to show off my grappling, I do a rolling knee bar....

    That's the cool thing though, I've never actually had to do my show off move because I don't talk about it in public.

          some kid asked if I wanted to box one time and I said "woot?" he punched and I went for a double leg take down. We were piss drunk and I know for sure that it didn't impress any of the ladys-_- girls smell this kind of crap a mile away.

                    This is the correct!

                    "He who speaks does not know, he who knows does not speak"

                    I talk about my MA skills as little as possible outside of the gym. Hell even at the gym I don't talk about what I know.

                      but there are times when other people drag you into their conversation

                      like...

                      "My friend here knows martial arts..."
                      "Oooh rly? can I seeee?"

                      what now?

                          I tend not to talk aobut my MA expereinces till someone asks or till i hear someone say something very stupid about self defence or fighting.

                            You humbly tell them that you don't really know that much and aren't very good and subtely change the subject. Or invite them to come by your gym but you don't put on improptu demos. In the long run you're just asking for trouble, especially if you're somewhere where drinking is involved.

                            Go see the "a chunner tried to start a fight with me...." thread also here in YMAS for an example of what can potentially happen for no reason at all.

                              yeah but sometimes it can be really difficult to do so

                              when everyones hungry for some action it may be better to show them someting flashy and get it over with
