    Talking Shaving my head

    Will I be taken more seriously as a martial artist after I go the buzz cut or should I just grow it out to a decent mullet and go the 70s porn-style moustache too?

    When you start losing your hair, then you'll know.

    I buzz my head... but only because it is far more convenient for me to do so.

    Actually... in the kwoon I train at, most of us "higher-ranking" male students have our heads shaved... but it's just a weird coincidence... we don't have any requirement to do it.

    I'd grow a beard/goatee/facial hair... but I'm not sure how Lisa would like that... she seems to prefer my face clean shaven

    hau tien's got it right -- what the girl says, goes. thought about biccing my head, but my girl likes it slightly fuzzy (clipped, but with no guard and the shortest setting possible). and the abe i thought about? no dice there either. sheesh

    hau tien, what did we get ourselves into?

    Hmmm

    If you are losing hair or have a receeding hairline like some of us and your head doesn't have that many dents and such in it...I say go ahead. Otherwise, listen to the women.

    You see - it's getting hotter here is Oz and it's the time that I generally go the buzz. Benefits are obvious. But my girl is giving me the "I like it how it is" line.

    Of course I will look super-tough once I go the shave. MWAHAHAHAHA!!

    Nah, I wanna look super-tough, so I guess she'll just have to get used to it. History indicates that the girls kinda warm to it after a while.

    Man, all this time I thought it was about the dao. See what happens when you don't pay attention!
    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
    In practice, there is.

    Peace is not the product of terror or fear.

    Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
    Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
    Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
    It is right and it is duty.

    hair

    I shave when I go to Shaolin sometimes. If I stay a long time, it's more sanitary. Haven't been back in a while so my hair's really long now. My winter coat.
