Top 10 Signs You May Not Be Ready For A Traditional Dojo

[ShuriLeopard]

• You refuse to wear a white gi after Labor Day
• You think a bo is something you shoot arrows with and a sai is something you do watching a pretty sunset
• All this punching is “ok,” but you really want to learn how to defy gravity
• Rex-Kwon-Do sounds really cool
• Instead of learning to tie your belt, you prefer to look for a clip-on
• Sweat makes you queasy
• You pull a hamstring learning to bow
• You can’t help saying gesundheit every time the instructor says shizentai
• You insist on wearing your cell phone in class
• Taisabaki sounds like your favorite entrée at a Japanese Steak House
• You wonder why Pat Morita’s picture isn’t on the Kamiza

Now THAT is funny. The truly sad part is that I've known a few folks that fit a few of those.
