There’s these two little kids in my apartment building that call me “karate man!” whenever they see me practicing. Then they pick up a loose branch from the woods and start imitating me. It’s cute, but insufferably annoying. They start with that “can you do this?” crap as they flop around hither and thither, and I just say “yeah,” as I flop about hither and thither, doing my thing. Either they don’t know what they’re talking about, and they think all martial arts are karate, or they’ve been visiting this board…LOL…
I actually did get the nickname mook jong in my school. We were all talking about what would happen if a challenge was thrown down and because of rank i would have to fight first, so i was told. This lead to me only being useful because i would make the guy tired because he would hit me so much, like i was a wooden dummy
Although, among my friends i got the name Lion Berserker. I had long curly and generally shaggy hair. I flipped out on someone and they said the look on my face amde me look insane so since i had a mane of hair, Lion Berserker.
I came up with shadow skill partialy because of the anime. I liked the name. the rest was because people used to say I was like my Sifu’s shadow. So I ran with it.
“I shadow him to develpoe my skill”
I never got a kung fu nickname. Though I did call one of my sparring partners “Sloppy Seconds.” Sifu was pretty worried until I explained that it was because he always gassed in the second round of sparring and got sloppy with his backfists.
But I guess I could always use my (highly unofficial) M.C. name- A’La Mode.
They call me “The Deuce” because One Two and your out. :eek:
Not really, I had that nickname because my last name starts with log, and for those of you who don’t know, a deuce is a euphemism for a turd.
Marines :rolleyes:
My sifu used to call me Ross Perot, after I did an impersonation several years ago and he said I even look a little like him. A couple classmates called me Lone Lion Dancer McQuaid. Otherwise, no nicknames.
one of the kids in my kids class took to calling me ‘vick’ for a few months. he insisted i look like michael vick. even though i am white, and short, and look nothing like him at all. kids are wierd.
