    I thought that this was an interesting and humorous article I must admit that I have been guilty of some of this in the past but have long since grown out of it, I know plenty of people that haven't though and I never talk to people about what I do that I don't know very well, I let them tell me all bout themselves and so many do and don't even realize it, its a bit different on a Martial Arts forum I think because we all have a common interest.

    I stopped training the women in my life how to fight a long time ago, it gets to dangerous when we have a falling out lol.

    My wife trains more than I do right now so I would be the "Wife" in the context of that article! :D

    I sat there and thought "it's all right, this won't include me".

    Then I read it.

    Yeah...I think I can tick off almost everything in some way or another :D

    That list only applies for soft martial arts, otherwise #1 would be 'cancelled vacations because he needs shoulder/knee/hip surgery again'.

    Also 'There's discarded bandages/strapping tape everywhere'

    And of course 'the neighbours complaining about the smell emanating from his kit bag'

    Not to mention 'he's missing my sister's wedding because he found a no-gi tournament a 6 hour drive away'

    My wife laughed at this list.

    I can't understand why. :)

    Not quite had this one, but I think that's because I don't go anywhere fancy.

    Oooh, good one.

    Nope, not had this one, been too domesticated for the wife to allow this one.

    She does complain at me for having pre-training showers though :D

    Not done it for a wedding with a tournament, but I have done it with weekend training camps and christenings :)

    if only it was that easy buddy, if only.

    i actually found an ibjjf the weekend of my sister-in-law's wedding, one that i was even invited to be a groomsman for (lucky me!), that just so happens to be in zurich. if only i wasn't worried about visitation rights for my two kids...

    my brother always used to make fun of me for that.

    My wife and family still do! They think that just because I'm gonna get hot and sweaty that I shouldn't worry. They don't seem to understand that training with someone who already stinks of sweat (in my case) before you've done anything is not nice.

    I tend to have a hot wash with hot water, soap and a flannel post training actually, I don't like to waste more water than I need to use.

    I take pre-training showers too.

    Everyone at my dojo smells like women, except for the women. xD
