Taekwondo~

*bump*

Goddamnit... if there's one thing I hate more than anything else, it's someone who brags about their grade in any form or martial arts, whether you be black or blue or yellow or red or pink. Don't matter whether you 5th Dan or 1st Dan or 1st Kyu or 5th Kyu.

I'm 1st Kyu and I don't give a s%$#. Nor should anyone else. You should be happy that way.


I will smack whovever brags upside in the face. Martial arts is all about humility and respect, not wearing your belt like you flash a cop's badge....

but taekwondo is art
and artists should be proud of what they do

which kinda defeats the humility thing

taekwondo isn't an art. martial arts isnt art. the name, therefore, sucks, but thats for a different thread.
All martial arts demands respect and humility. Besides, you dont have to point your martial arts out to people to be proud of it. Theres a difference between being proud and showing off.
