Oh, hell yeah.
Bonus: I lived with a drummer who is a black belt, and we hung out w/one of his friends who is also a black belt and instructor. They simply don’t move like reg’lar folks. I didn’t even notice it consciously at first, it’s so subtle, but it’s there.
A band I was friends with had got a new drummer, and after he’d walked to and back from the bar at the 1st gig I saw him play, I had a question.
“How long have you been doing martial arts?”
He was so surprised he almost missed his chair when he sat down, and answered me with another question. “How did you know?!”
I grinned and explained.
You can’t hide the way you move. I can spot a great dancer a mile off, too, also. They don’t move like reg’lar folks, neither.
