"WAIT UNTIL I TAKE OFF MY SHOES...!"

  1. When karate came to this country in more known forms, many issued this warning when they got involved in fights, brawls, fracases,etc. which to some minds made the opponent aware that the person 'knew' karate or was versed in such,often with the announcement'I have a Black Belt",etc. The idea was that using the shoe or shod foot made kicks more dangerous and deadly and that the bare foot was better utilized. Well, we all know what 'tender feet' and 'tender tootsies' most Westerners really have in this state of 'barefootedness'!
