I can't speak for ALL schools, but from what I've seen at schools that teach those arts that ACTUALLY work, like where I train MT & BJJ for example, I'm the only one that calls the instructor sir, bows before I step on & off the mat, doesn't curse during class, etc...But I go there because the instructors & their senior students are top notch, have trained with the best, and have vast amounts of knowledge & competition experience
Take away the word Mixed from MMA and you are left with just Martial Arts. I would love to see more people practicing these REAL arts that ACTUALLY work carry themselves like true Martial Artists. Ever watch The Ultimate Fighter? Those damn kids give people like me a bad name. I don't walk around bragging about how I can whoop everyone's ass and threaten to fight anyone that looks at me the wrong way. I like how in TMA's you don't learn certain things in the very beginning, because you don't deserve to. I learned the North/South choke & rolled on my first day of BJJ, and did a lot of boxing/counterpunching drills on my first day of MT.
If I was an asshole with bad intentions, you WOULD NOT want to step on my shoe in a bar.
