Sure Evad, I can unbutton my long tuxedo jacket, wrap a black belt around it and say it looks like a gi. But like your posts, I would really be stretching that comparison.
Themeecer - please get over yourself. You are acting no better than the BJJ chauvinists that litter this board. You live and breathe SD? Congrats. I live in California and I breathe bad air and regulated amounts of cannabis sativa. And with my 140+ IQ, I can handle it.
And I can also handle: 1) A little criticism of what I'm studying - plenty of people have dissed Sifu Carl Totten on this board, and yet I continue, 2) I can handle a little good-natured ribbing. That weed and brain cells remark was a joke, son, I say say a little bit of humor at your expense.
It seems what you should have been learning from SD is how not to be so thin-skinned. I heard that if you bathe in Dit Da Jow and throw yourself down a flight of stairs, it will help!
If you live and breathe what you study, why do you care what traditional CMA's think about you? And let's face it, from what I saw when I visited the "Shao-lin" Center, it wasn't traditional. And I wish I did remember the ass-monkey's name in charge. Then again it's inconsequential, because if I wanted to study Karate, I'd go back to TKD.
