A stylist is your hairdresser. If you're a person who practices fighting arts I don't think you should call yourself a stylist. You train is the fighting methods of (fill in the blanks).

I'm a (name an famous martial artist) Stylist. What does that mean, really? I think it's stupid to copy the movement and personality of another human being just because you are retarded and have no identity of your own. Remember you are training in their fighting methods. You're not training to be their body double, their mirror or their pet chimp.

C'mon, we have all seen those morons. Those brainless parrots trying to mimic their teachers every move. Young guys acting like old men, skinny guys acting like fat men, and gay guys acting like manly men. It's silly.

Every time I hear someone say they are a stylist of X school, I feel like clubbing them like a baby seal.

Remember a sylist is your hairdresser.

My personal favorite stylist is "Woody" Woodruff. His martial arts is so-so but he is unique in that he is a self proclaimed heterosexual-male stylist.

Oh yeah?

They all "PROCLAIM" to be heterosexual, but the pirate shirt should give you a clue that they have things hidden in the closet other than more pirate shirts.

With name like Woody I'd be careful. Is he into fixing up his Miata?

The infamous late Count Dante (the self-proclaimed "Deadliest Man Alive" in the late 60s, early 70s) was "outed" by one of the tabloid newspapers. The headline read something like "The Deadliest Man Alive is Really a Hairdresser".

Seems like he had been a hair stylist before making his fortune from teaching martial arts.

The deadliest hairdresser.

I applaud you Bruce Leroy. You sound like Bruce Lee railing against traditional martial arts and their wooden conformity.

Anyway, I shy away from stylist and prefer terms like fighter, warrior, killing machine, guy who's gonna kick your sorry ass. Things like that. Stylist does sound really gay if you think about it. I don't think I'll ever use the term ever again. Unless the martial artist happens to be the host of a show on Home and Garden (aka. fag central) TV

That's exactly the point. I don't think there is a single homosexual male mixed martial arts fighter that I know of. Mixed martial arts and homosexuality just does not seem to mix.
