What do you tell people By Supra Vijai - 12-29-2010 07:02 AM

Hi,
Quick question. How do you guys/girls answer when someone asks you what MA you train? I've been spending a lot of time on the forums at work lately as I keep getting rostered on and there's nothing to do given it's the holidays and a few people have asked me what I train.
More and more I'm finding myself answering that I train a traditional Japanese Martial Art which covers a range of topics from weapons work as they were used in feudal Japan to counter intelligence/surveillance to modern self defense. I get the feeling each time that I'm doing the art a disservice by avoiding it's name but frankly I'm a little tired of watching people's faces light up when they hear "Ninjitsu" (I swear it's impossible to get these guys to say it right!!!) only to have them get bored and walk away the second you mention there's no wearing of costumes and hiding in trees or climbing up a wall and turning into a bat after disappearing in clouds of smoke.
Thanks
