Murphy's Law of Martial Arts
- The wimp who made it through the eliminations on
luck alone will suddenly turn into Bruce Lee when
you're up against him.
- The referee will always be looking the other way
when you score.
- You will have trouble with the ties on your dobok
pants when members of the opposite sex are in
class.
- The day you leave work early to make it to class on
time, the instructor will be sick.
- The instructor will only use you during
demonstrations for joint-locking techniques.
- If you have to use your training in self-defence,
your attacker's father will be a lawyer.
- After a flawless demonstration, you will trip on
your way back to your seat.
- After years of training without a single injury,
you will pull a groin muscle the night before your
black belt exam.
- In an otherwise vacant locker room, the only other
person will have the locker right next to yours.
- No matter how many times you take care of it before
your promotion exam, you will invariably have to go to
the bathroom when it's your turn.
