What do martial arts masters actually do for a living?

What were these masters actually doing with their lives?

I’ve heard that Gichin "Shoto" Funakoshi—the karate legend—worked as an elementary school teacher, while Jigoro kana was practicing law. Then you have Doshin sol, who was apparently a foreign service officer for the US government—basically a spy. Bruce Lee was a philosophy and sociology professor as well as an actor. Prof. Adolph Lundgren taught chemistry and did some acting too. I also heard Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi is a medical doctor. What about the others?

Who gives a damn?

So, here’s the deal... Miro Zdunić is actually an instructor for those specialized business and economics courses.

I’m honestly just curious to see what kind of gigs these guys end up landing...

Personally, I’d love to hear some news about Remy Bonjasky—imagine him working as a banker or maybe even a lingerie model!😁

I know this martial arts instructor out in Oakland who's a butcher by trade—he makes his real money doing house calls! His shop sign literally says, "Mobile Butchery."

FedEx is back in business!

It was just a simple classified ad once upon a time.
Just the phrase "I'll fix anything under the sun" followed by a phone number.
We all felt a bit uneasy when we saw it...
Maybe it was because we didn't realize the guy actually knew his stuff.

Talk about an ego trip!😁

Welcome back!👍

In the army, it’s mostly just rednecks and uneducated losers—mostly because the drilling business is tied up with organized crime and the bottom of the barrel. You might see a soldier here or there. 😁

You’ve been popping up all over this forum lately!

🤣

If I recall correctly, Corral is a dentist?... 🤔

Fits right in here, I guess. He’s basically some small-time smuggler from an Unknown town.
Jamie Fowler2 is just some crooked doctor out in the sticks... 😬

Jamie Fowler2 is just a corrupt doctor from the sticks... 😬

Well, if he is corrupt, his bribe threshold is pretty low.
Or he’s just incredibly good at hiding the paper trail.

Either way, you're getting a one-day ban for making those accusations.🙂

Come on, he's still showing up as a registered user... Hurry it up!

The guy is dealing with a massive headache... and what’s even worse is he’s trying to fix his mess by posting on internet forums. George Martin70, I could probably write a whole book about you... especially regarding those three or four career paths you famously started and even more famously crashed and burned through...

Hold on, I see they're starting even more threads. This should be fun.

Man, if only I were actually crooked...

You guys are getting way too off-topic here, madredeus. :P My teacher actually plays!

Ueshiba the farmer
Tohei the businessman 😉
