    Grappling and pugilism aren't much different in a kilt than clothed, though.

    All in all, I'd rather depend on my wits than my fists.

    I'm a 3rd Dan Blackbelt in Traditional Taekwon-do.. About a month ago I went to the Dojang(wearing a UK Mocker) and decided to wear it while working the heavy bag... I was amazed at how much easier it is to kick in a kilt than in a dobok(uniform).

    Sir, thank you for your post. You handled the matter with great skill and your analysis was spot on. I recently had a similar situation happen after reading your post, I too chose to ignore it. I am often reminded of a quote by Albert Einstein, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
    Cheers.
    Jim
