Back in the day, I used to do a
lot
of martial arts. Largely just because I didn't want to be hanging around on the streets and I didn't want to spend all my spare time in the house either. Helped that many of the classes were free (I lived in a very low income area).
I was never really any good at any of them, no matter how hard I tried. My teachers (more or less) said that my enthusiasm was to be admired but the natural skill was clearly lacking. Didn't matter how many times I went down, I'd get up and keep going. Very much a "I can do this all day" or "I didn't hear no bell" attitude. In hindsight, a foolish attitude that probably got me a lot more bruises than I would've otherwise got. Not that I always lost, but I suspect my record would have considerably more losses than victories.
But sometimes one daydreams about becoming that martial arts master, especially when I was younger. My original name certainly linked to that dream, and over the years it evolved (often keeping the theme) until I landed with Shifu which, broadly speaking, is the Chinese equivalent of "Sensei".
I later found out that it's actually the anglicised version, a more direct translation is "Sifu" - like the attack pet. I have always pronounced it the "proper" way - like "Seafood" but dropping the "d" rather than the "She-fu" most people go for.
So far as I know both "Sensei" and "Sifu" are still taken, so I'm Shifu. Truth be told, I've had this name so long, I don't think I'd change even if I could.
Plus it's also spelled the same way as Master Shifu (From the Kung Fu Panda franchise), which is pretty cool.
If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.

My RSN comes from a book series called Warriors. There are different clans within the Warriors series like the Thunderclan, Riverclan, etc.. I thought it would be neat if there was a Fireclan. So came into existence my RSN.
