Come on you wear your uniform all the time dont you?
What is it?..i bet its pink satin!!!
lol. with frills on the cuffs and polka dot trousers. think il keep my little stories to myself in future.
Look Cogg on this forum Brit guys have only one use:
We are here to rub the Americans faces in there love of guns and lack of gun controle…Along with their huge chance of death from gun shot wounds…get used to it.
Actually, you’re just here to provide comic relief with your bad teeth, worse food, and improperly spelled words. 
How did you know i have bad teeth?
I find it very Ironic that a Brit is strongly opposed to Americans keeping guns in their homes. Stinkin Redcoats.

Ah but I am not at all opposed to Americans keeping guns in their homes…or anywhere come to that.
In fact i find it really funny that you get to take pot shots at each other, have a massive chance of being killed by a gun yet still feel that every American should have access to a gun…Please dont change any of this!! Even for your own sakes.
I have enough problems fighting one person.
I know what you mean, Minority. Maybe we could team up on him if you can get him anywhere near southeast Georgia. If we can’t whip him, at least down here we can shoot him.
I wear my uniform in public quite often… going home after class, I sometimes stop in at the grocery store, or pop in to pick up some food at a restaurant. I’ve never had a problem. I’ve had people ask “Oh! What’s the uniform for?”, to which I simply reply “Martial Arts”. A few who know more ask what type, and I tell them. It’s never gone further than that.
Of course, people don’t generally pick fights with me, as I’m a rather large man, and people around here are easily intimidated by size

Man you must be from a different planet. Here in Dallas alot of people wear their MA uniform in public. I did it too for a while because the locker room was infested with contageous foot fungus. Other people just like to change at home, what’s the problem anyway? It sounds like you guys think a person should be ashamed to be a martial artist. “trying to look like a badass”? What about the military guys you see wearing their uniform in public? etc. etc. You must be arrogant to think people should all change their tune and dress like you, to please you. It’s a matter of perception. I doubt the “baddass” thing even crosses the minds of most people who wear their uniform outside the dojo, military, security post, etc. Why should a martial artist change clothes just to go home? Why do most people put their work uniform on in the morning before they even leave their house? Why do people who train in a gym put their shorts and muscle shirts on before they leave the house? I think common sense would tell you it’s a matter of convenience. Why would you change clothes before you left the dojo if you were only going home? Ask yourself this question, “Who are you trying to please” by doing so? That’s a lame load of self righteous bull. Tell that to the people in China and other far eastern countries, where in some areas, 25% of the people you see in public are wearing what appears to be some kind of kung fu uniform. Why don’t you go tell them how to dress.
I like to do my grocery shopping in speedos and wrestling boots.

where did you come up with the figure 25%? oh that’s right, you yanked it out of your orafice.
‘wearing what appears to be’ would mean you are a dope who is imposing your Saturday-afternoon-movie-fest menality on the real world.

why don’t you show some respect and not equate MA duds with the uniform of the armed forces?

No sir, that’s a conservative estimate. My teacher used to live in china and he says that in some places he went, at least 1 in 4 people wear traditional Chinese clothing that is identical to or similar in style to kung fu uniforms. And if he says at least 1 in 4, he means AT LEAST ONE IN FOUR.

I think it is you who needs to learn some “respect”. I don’t think you know the meaning of the word. Telling someone they pulled a figure out of their “ORAFICE” because you disagree with them, and calling them a “DOPE” for the same reason is not "respect"ful.
Let me refresh your memory as to your level of “respect”:

You need to go ask your teacher for clarification. Some part of an ensemble that contains elements of traditional ‘clothing’ style is not the same as a MA uniform by anyone’s standard. 1 in 4 is questionable in any case, unless your teacher lived there prior to 1949.
The very few people I ever saw wearing identifiably MA uniforms in China were the subject of strange looks by adults and taunts by youngsters, just like anywhere else.

You received a response to your own words. Reference to any others was not a part of the post. and if the orafice fits…
There was an YOUNG ASIAN guy wearing YAMASAKI BJJ jacket going to a club. He seem very very comfortable with it on. He was a target for some heckling…he stepped to the hecklers and quickly got JUMPED. Bouncers saved his LIFE. Don’t make yourself a target by wearing MARTIAL ARTs stuff. It’s silly…it’s like wearing a sweater saying “I’m a badazz!”. People will try to test you. And when I mean PEOPLE…more that one.
“one against twenty” ???
What would I do.
NOTHING, changes of it happening are very slim and if it does happen guess what the outcome will be like.
And I don’t care who you are or how many people past masters of your style beat it will still be the same more or less.
As for wearing MA clothing in public, why not but be prepared for whatever happens.
Have fun.
