You Might Be a Martial Artist If ...

You Might Be A Martial Artist If.....
*You trip, go into a roll and come up in a fighting stance. In church.
*You answer your boss "Kiai".
*You put your hands together in a martial arts bow position (one hand open the other closed) after grace at the dinner table.
*You tie your bathrobe belt in a square knot. Then check to make sure the ends are exactly even.
*You accept change from the cashier using a perfect knife hand with the thumb carefully tucked in.
*Every time you handle a screwdriver or razor knife, etc., you just can't help changing grip from hammer to reverse to flip over to dagger grip etc. And your shop help is standing cautiously far, far away from you.
*When you're outside doing landscaping/gardening you "practice" with all the neat weapons.
*You look for a place to live based on the amount of practice space it provides.
*"GAK! NO! The left side of the bathrobe goes on top...."
*You use various strikes to turn lights off and on.
*You open and close doors with spinning kicks.
*You find yourself practicing bo staff techniques in miniature with your pencil during dull meetings.
*You try to backfist the correct floor button on the inside of the elevator, based on your memory of the button's location, before you get in far enough to see it.
*You notice you never stand with your arms crossed or your hands in your pockets.
*You find yourself practicing stances while standing in lines.
*You bow going into and out of the bathroom.
*You don't use any tools while splitting firewood.
*You are introduced to someone and you bow to greet them.
