Just a quick question for people. What rule of thumb do people follow regarding jewellry in the school being worn during class?

I personally have had both my ears pierced but I never wear them in almost at all anymore because it was a pain in the butt either taking them out during boxing or grappling or having them ripped out.

The only thing I wear and refuse to take off is my wedding ring. (Personal reasons)

Thoughts?

I've had both my ears peirced, but I rarely wear them either. I'll put them in sometimes when I'm going out of town or something, but I hated taking them out all the time. I used to wear my wedding ring regardless, but with knuckle pushups, and the extensive grabs we do, I've taken it off for my fingers as well as my buddies. Also, it was getting quite "nasty" looking after all the knuckle and fingertip pushups! I leave it on and ask my partner if it bothers them though now, if it does, I'll take it off for them.

As a general rule, I forbid the wearing of jewelry. I make an exception for someone that does not wish to remove their wedding band. My statement regarding that is, " Do what your heart and your conscience tell you to, but I can't help but thiink your spouse would rather you take it off than risk damaging it or yourself."

I'll be cold and dead before they get it off me and even then I'll make sure I die so that they have to cut my finger off to get it off me.

And that, sir, is why I make the statement I do.

Wedding rings are ok. I do have a problem with large engagement rings, the stone and setting can catch on to many things.
Earrings , wear them at your own risk in my school. A chain of any kind aroud the neck, will get ripped off or used to drag you aroud the room.

Mine is just a band but I see your point for sure. When I was in university I punched a guy with my class ring on. The ring rode up and peeled a layer of flesh off my knuckle to the bone almost. After that if you saw me turning my class ring around you knew fists were going to fly. I had learned my lesson...sorta...

I know. On my birthday my wife wakes me up with a punch in the mouth while she's wearing my hockey helment and gear with a baseball bat in the other hand.

It makes the rest of the day so much more fun.

I used to turn my class ring around when I knew punches were coming too! It was our "signal". If we started turning our rings around.............

He would, but his wife won't let him. As a matter of fact she was talking about taking him to the vet and gettng him fixed.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Gou found a saint of a women to spend time and even to marry him. I am sure he does not wish to jinx the relationship for any reason.

Gou I wish you and your Birthday wishes from your wife lots of luck :) .

Rich

PS: I am buttering up Gou's wife, for my stay in September. I hear she is a great cook. Yum Yum!

Dude, she doesn't read this chat board. Nice try though. But she'll feed you anyway I am sure. Just give her the old "starving puppy dog" eyes. Works for me.

many schools i have been to do not allow jewelry. i myself do not wear any except my wedding band also.

wearing earrings and necklaces can be very dangerous. especially when you are sparring.

my school now doesn't seem to have a problem with it, but if it was my school i would not allow it.

For us it's no jewelry.The only exception is a wedding ring, but it must be taped over for sparring.Personally I just take mine off when I train.

Aw, great, Gou! Now you did it! My girlfriend wants me to tell you and your wife, "thanks for the idea." So in February I'm gonna need to be a light sleeper. ;)

Take care :D

Hey all..

We are not permitted to wear watches, necklaces.. earrings.. wedding bands seem to get passed...
BUt i don't take any chances..

and for all you guys who get smacked around on various days from your wives.. you probably deserve it... hehehehehe..

I don't need a spouse to do that to me.. that's what I have my cats for.. they do a nice job of trouncing on me in the AM when they want their breakfast.. sigh..:rolleyes:


I hope some of these crazy antics of y'all are on display when I come up on the 20th of this month... Looking forward to it..:D

Ain't that the truth! We have two also. One is a polyactyl. He has fully developed thumbs for smacking us with more mass. :D

Take care

We have a 'no jewellery' rule too unless its your wedding band or something you wear for religious reasons. I would personally never wear a ring as I have seen nasty injuries caused by ones even taped up.
