Oh, definitely! I also use 'Sir' more often in addressing seniors, because of my martial arts habits.Shodan said:

Inside cross kicks for cupboards, almost always. Car door, side cutting kick.
Fore me MA comes in handy mostly when I need balance or to get out of the way of something. A couple of weeks ago I avoided a large chef's knife falling off the counter by evading back into light stance.. I also stepped into monkey stance to avoid a drunk once.
For getting served faster at the post office on friday, I use my short staff. :EG:

That's me too, hearkened from my TSD days. In my kung fu school we don't observe a ton of ceremony and strict ettiquette like other styles, but I still call my instructors Sir and I always respond to an order with yes sir. And outside the school everyone is a sir unless they are a ma'am.arnisador said:
