Default My problem with European Krav Maga
why do so many dudes wear their cup on the outside of their pants.
In almost every euro KM video and even in some non-km martial arts videos there are always some guys wearing their cups that way and it bugs the living hell out of me.
;)

oh...and whats with the cheesy niteclub techno dance soundtracks?

Kevin, it's the same reason why Superman wears his underwear on the outside of his pants. Go figure...

Now, calling soccer "football" makes sense, though, as you are actually using your feet to move the ball. But why is American football called football? They throw and carry the ball. Weird...

I wonder if the cups worn on the outside are loaner cups from the school?

That's no excuse for the lame look. We have a similar, even larger issue in Texas, but we have pants with small waists and extra large crotches!!!
