Hey guys,

For your chance to win months training with Television star and international martial artist Chris Crudelli in London, we want to hear the following in this forum thread:

What is the most embarrasing moment you have experienced during your martial arts training?

Ladies and Gents it doesnt have to be a life story - but any pictures or videos would certainly be in your favour

Competition deadline is Friday the 29th of August and the Editors decision is final!!

I haven't really been training long enough to have had that many embarrassing moments really (thankfully) but one stands out. The first time I actually got my club wear I managed to to slip on the bottom of the trousers (which were too long). That would be bad enough but I managed to swing my arm out and catch my sifu in the face as well as pulling a muscle in my back which put me out of training for a good few weeks.

Unfortunately I think I am now better known for that episode than my martial arts prowess!

Not bad Watko, not bad.

Come on guys this is a months training with Chris Crudelli we are talking about here!!!!!!

More stories please.

Farting in front of my instructor (female) on a laminate floor doing crunches

hahahahahahhahah


Neversurrender im loving the picture that gives me!!!!

Embarrassing or what....


Keep em coming guys....

Doing my first ever public Martial Arts display with a new club I just joined (been with for about 2 months) and my nice White Gi was washed the day before only to find that a dam sock got into the machine and made it a funny bluey colour, not quite blue, not grey not white it was just weird. And of course I had no spares and no time to sort it out. I was to say the least very embarrased but I did the display anyway!!

I do have video evidence if required lol!

I remember a friend pointed me out in this display to his friend who is a 1st dan and my mate said 'There he is' only for the other guy to respond 'what the guy in the funny coloured Gi'

Hi Guys,

For the 2007 Chinese New Year the club I train at was Lion dancing at a Chinese restaurant every night for a week. It was nerve-wracking but fun.

As I was in the tail and we moved around the tables I could feel people stroking me and some were pinching my rear end. As the week passed and the revellers became "happier" the groping got worse. The worst was on the last night when a hen party turned up. As we passed their table I could feel lots of hands on me. I think we were lucky to get out with the costume intact!

Whoever said men are worse than women when they're drunk was wrong. The main thing was everybody enjoyed the show.

Well that's my story, remember "Do or do not. There is no try".

LOL.
Good story.

Ok i was part of an outdoors demonstration in Christchurch square, New Zealand - we had just finished a group pattern & were all standing in the classic stepping front position & holding while a commentator gave a brief summary of our style & what we were doing.

I was at the front in full view of a good thousand people, frozen in position & trying to look hard when someone in the crowd had inflated a condom & tied it & let it go... it floated through our group - everyone saw it & a low murmer filtered through the crowd,

But then as it floated near me of course there was a small gust of wind & you wouldnt believe it... it floated up & lodged itself between my chin & my outstretched arm...OH...MY...GOD!

You could have fried an egg on my face, it was so red with emabarrasment.

Oh yeh the crowd thought it was great too

During shadow sparring, I accidentally landed an extremely heavy axe kick on on small girls head knowcking her to the florr in front of the whole class. In my defence she did surge forwards at just the wrong momwnt but no one seemd to notice this. The instructer was not impressed and bollocked me in front of every one.
Much shame and embarassment.

I have many worse embarassing stories but unfortunately not linked to martial arts.

I have had a few over the years..

Like training nunchucks in front of the mirror in the studio we used and after a few moves came back to rest, nunchucks at my side. I then swung them up full speed to go over my shoulder, but instead they swung wide and hit my chin just below my bottom lip, smashing it against my front teeth. Needless to say there was blood pouring down my chin and all over my white Gi top. The rest of the class heard the smack and there was silence as they all stood gobsmacked. It hurt like hell but I was too embarassed to show it, so I just started again and carried on swinging them. On the plus side I gained huge respect and kudos and some of the lower grades were in awe of me for months.

As a young freshly minted untouchable 1st Dan I was showing off my prowess to some friends in a bar with some high kicks etc. One of the waiters walked past and smiled that 'yeah right' sort of smile. So to show him how fast I was I threw a quick round house towards him as he next walked past. Without missing a beat and with a tray and some glasses in his other hand he deftly leant forward under my high kick and popped his left hand out, straight into my groin. In jeans with no box on the effect was dramatic and I fell to the floor clutching my crown jewels. This is how I learned the lesson not to use kicks above the waist in the street!
