I have no intention of doing that. The question is about getting it back in afterwards. I won't ask that question but, have you considered what the effect might have for you "if" you were in a real self defense situation? Consider how fights can be called if a person has a bad cut over their eye. Lots of blood and impaired vision - that puts a person at risk. I would think a pierced eyebrow would be very easy to cut on the street and present a vulnerability that is optional. If one of your prime motivations for practicing the martial arts is self defense - you may want to factor this in to your thought process. The same goes for other forms or optional adornment that could offer an advantage to an opponent, and present you with some degree of danger. The reverse is true, what could you use againt someone else that they have - or that you have on you?

I came home and crashed for three hours after everyone left. :) Wanted to say thank you for everyone that came out. It was a lot of fun and looking forward to next year (April 16-18, 2010). I'll get some pictures up and comments posted. Excited about Chief Master Marlin Sims (Kuk Sool lineage and Art of the Warrior editor) and Master Geoff Booth (Hapkido master from Australia) making plans on coming next year. I'll try to get some updates posted before the weekend - I'll be in Atlanta for Dojunim Ji's seminar at Master Allison's school on Saturday & Sunday. Hope to see some of you there.
