hey all! this is kiltman with a sword here, and i was wondering if any of you guys practiced martial arts in your kilts? im looknig into doing some mma, which is mixed martial arts, after i graduate, and was wondering if its fairly easy to fight in a kilt. to my mind it would be, but i dont really have a kilt right now, and if youve read my other posts, youll realize that i tried to make one out of a terrible pattern. i have done boffering, a swordplay contact sport in it, and i was ok with that, and even wrestled someone down to the ground doing that, a couple times. That was fine, but i was wondering if it is as easy with traditional fighting arts. mma rules dont say you cant wear kilts.
(specifically, anyway! ) in fact, if you wore one and fought proffesionally, you could garner respect for kilt wearers, to my mind anyway. just wondering what you guys think. tell me if you do any martial arts, and how that interacts with you wearing kilts.
always willing to learn,
