hey, i liked that hwangjangwhatever. i agree, people who do martial arts should keep it a secret, and that is a good reason, probably the best one, but there are other reasons.
its better to be humble, and not talk about your strong points, because when a person talks about thier strengths they begin to get cocky. and nobody likes cocky people. i dont talk about my martial arts unless somone brings it up, and then i like to keep it short. when you start talkinga about the things that your good at, then people start to get annoyed at you, and then they leave. this is especially true when you mix guys and martial arts. if a guy is really smart, hes a nerd. if a guy is really good looking, hes a pansy. if a guy is really social, hes either a loser or gay. if a guy is really good at video games, he has no life, and if i guy is really lucky, he cheats. but then it gets to fighting ability. every guy wants to be the strongest, fastest, and overall best fighter around. and when a guy is a better fighter than you, theres no way around it. guys get really defensive over thier fighting reputations, and if a person talks about him MA's then the guys around him begin to hate him and want to beat him up or kill him because they know that the MAist is better than they are, and theres no way around it. so your friends will appreciate not talking about how good you are at beating people up.
plus, it is friggin sexy when people underestimate you, and think that your just a weak kid with no fighting ability whatsoever, and then you surprise them by defending yourself infront of everybody. the guys will worship you, and if you keep yourself modest, the girls will be all over you.
