I stand in the middle of the mall and practice all the katas iève done, wearing full gi and nothing else, during peak christmas shopping hours. Then I wait for the girls to line up and start taking phone numbers.

re: kung fu in public?
I think its natural after a while. I used to do it more (not intentionally, jus spacing out) but am a little more chilled out lately. Now when i do this, i barely do the movement, just enough to feel the muscles twitch, and mostly just imagine the technique working in some application. not to show off at all, more like compulsive practice, don’t even realize youre doing it, walking along and practicing hand work, etc… I think any athelete who practices something often and thinks about it a lot will do this, ever see people practice a golf swing w/o a club? Well, same thing, we might just be visualising a sabre instead, or a pak sau…i think the motions, even if slight and not exagerated while you visualise the movement constantly reinforces the brains firing of the corresponding syapses(sp?)which in turn is real practice…i think practicing compulsively, even if while walking down the street, will help improve technique over time and make it second nature. It can be embarrasing though if you suddenly realize that youre doing some movement that probably looks real strange and people are looking at you like youre having some kind of insane hallucination, but who cares what people think, they probably think youre weird anyway.

me and JHS are similar
when i see people doing that, i think they are wannabe c*nts who need to get a life. it really makes me cringe. you don’t se michael schumacher going “MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWPPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHH I’M A CAR I’M A CAR” while making steering movements with his hands when he’s shoping in the local Aldi supermarket do you. Eric Clapton never air guitars, writers don’t sit ther pretending to write with a pen.
sorry. i used to feel the urge to do that, wheni had just started MA. But i never actually did it. Sometimes i feel the urge now.
but then i think " no, that would be gay "

Sharky, I should expect this level of immaturity from you after seeing your post titled “Hm.” regarding the woman that lives next door to you. I think everyone who unfortuneatly read that post is a bit more ignorant now for doing so. - Spectre
All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.
Im with Sharky. Speaking of which, Sharks, I wrote up the HK trip in the WC forum, if you havent already seen it. 
The chalice from the palace has the pellet with the poison,
The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!

PS - I do NOT shop at Aldi

I no longer do kungfuey things in public. However, I do train in my mind.
Sharky, if youre walking around worrying about giving into impulses that you believe will make you look ‘gay’ to people, then you’ve got deeper issues

This is not in public, but someone mentioned kung fu in an elevator. Sometimes if I’m alone in the 'vator, I’ll practice the one-legged stance. It helps your balance to be able to hold this during the acceleration/decceleration. -FJ
My teacher started doing shoulder throws on me right in front of Union Station in downtown Chicago once. It was funny as hell, two grown business men playing ninja.
I asked him a question and he said, “Come here, let me show you.”
lol, if i had a student i would kick his ass in public too.
you have a cool teacher

I used to drink beverages with drunken fist as if blocking / striking drunken cup…weird.
