A matter of perspective?

A series of questions:


  • What do people "see" when they learn that you practice a martial art?
  • Do more people get attracted to you because of your hobby or do they keep away from you?
  • Do they perceive you as a mild-mannered, butt-kicking 9-5'er or a mentally unstable sociopath who is on the brink of going postal?
  • Do you behave like a meathead on roid-rage, all hyper, aggressive, exhibiting neanderthal tendencies?
  • How do others in your social behave and act?
  • Do you talk about fights, fight culture and the hundreds of scenarios on how to beat up someone?
  • Do you get excited when you watch a fight in general public?
  • Do you egg on the participants and then later on fantasize about how you would have ended the fight?
  • Do you mentally size up random individuals in the street?
  • Do you size up their weight and reach then match it up to your own?
  • Do you feel there is nothing wrong by walking about in your daily life dressed in your fight clothes or uniforms with your belt?
  • Do your immediate friends display any of the above signs?
  • Do you start verbal arguments hoping that it will end up in a physical altercation so you can test out your "sweet" new move?
  • Do you feel that your martial arts empowers you to be more for the above reasons?
