Monday’s Martial Madness: I Like White Belts (Sung to the Tune of Baby Got Back)

Featured ~ Stephanie Dunham

In all honesty, I love white belts.  I was one once just like every other martial artist.  So I more making fun of myself than anyone else.  Nonetheless, I took A LOT of poetic license here to poke fun at the white belt phenom.  Have fun!

I like white belts and I cannot lie

You other belts can’t deny

That when fresh meat walks in with a earnest pace

A smile creeps ‘cross your face

You get sprung, want to pull up tough

‘Cause you notice that white belt’s buff

Deep in the martial art’s he is staring

She’s got the bug so a gi she’s wearing

Oh White Belt I’m gonna got twitchy

Cuz your feet’ll get all switchy

My sensei try to warn me

But with that belt you got makes me so scorny

Ooh, Fresh meat come on in

Into the dojo you enter in

Well, ‘scuse me, ‘scuse me

‘Cause you are that average groupie

I’ve seen you floppin’

Down on the mats your moppin’

Up your sweat

Goin at it like Bruce Lee fanboy

I’m tired, cuz you make me employ

Sayin’ its the right foot, you bring

Take the left back, and swing it right

Then punch me with you right

So, white belt (yeah), white belt (yeah)

Has you got the guts? (Oh, yeah)

I tell to make it (make it) make it (make it)

Back to class

Make it back to class

Make it back to class
