Life as a Martial Artist: The Good, The Bad, and The Hilarious
Being a martial artist is an incredible experience filled with discipline, physical and mental growth, and, of course, some pretty funny moments. From trying to explain why you just kicked your neighbor's trash can to having the weirdest bruises on your body, here's a look at some of the most amusing moments in the life of a martial artist.
"I'm Not a Ninja, I Swear!"
It's happened to all of us: you're out in public, and someone asks if you're a ninja. While it's tempting to play along, it's not always easy to explain that you're just a martial artist trying to live your life.
"Can You Help Me Move This Sofa?"
One of the perks of being a martial artist is that you tend to be stronger and more agile than your average person. This can lead to some pretty funny situations, like being asked to help move furniture for friends and family.
"Why Do You Have a Bruise on Your Face?"
Martial artists are no strangers to bruises. Whether it's from a poorly executed technique or a friendly sparring match, bruises are just a part of life. But trying to explain to your boss why you have a funny looking bruise on your face can be a little embarrassing.
"Can You Teach Me How to Do That?"
Every martial artist has heard this question more times than they can count. From a colleague asking you to show them how to do a high kick to a stranger on the street wanting to learn a cool move, being a martial artist often means being the go-to person for all things related to fighting.
"Why Do You Always Wear That Belt?"
Belts are a staple of martial arts for kids, teens or adults, but they can also be a source of confusion for those who don't practice. From coworkers asking why you always wear one to strangers asking if it's a fashion statement, the belt can be a source of many a funny conversation.
Life as a martial artist is full of laughter, strength, and a lot of explaining. Whether you're being asked if you're a ninja or trying to explain why you have a bruise on your face, the life of a martial artist is never dull!
