one place I'm afraid to wear my Rolex to

The city's community centre where I volunteer my Saturday mornings teaching 40 kids aged 6-10 Karate and self defense.

I'm not sure a watch would survive lol


Anybody else into Martial Arts?

Excellent of you Roger. I wish I had learned martial arts as a child. Played soccer instead

Do you think instead of karate I can teach ppl how to use their Seadwellers as brass knuckles?

I teach budo taijutsu. Grappling, swinging swords, knives and sticks does not make a good environment for watches. No kids in my classes though.

My hat's off to you though for volunteering to teach the children.

I'm an avid squash player, and golfer. I can't stand the feeling of wearing anything on my wrists while doing either.

Would never leave my watch in any kind of gym/dojo locker.

agree. it might not get through that...

i had practiced most of my life...Tae Kwon Do, HS wrestling, San Shou, Krav Maga.

most recently, i am thinking about starting back up again. however, i am having trouble finding a school that aligns with what i am looking for.

will probably get a tai chi book and start up again there.
