We merged them together all of the time during class for continuity, grins, and giggles…mostly for the laughter. Got to break up the monotony of class from time to time. Other than that, when all of the fun is done, business as usual.

How about them Knights!! Let’s see if that win over Colorado was a fluke or if the Knights are serious!! GO KNIGHTS!!

My thoughts… Sport karate is for some and not for others; I’m of the latter. Albeit, my last tournament was over 30 years ago; I garnered 4 Grand Championships and 2nd place in the Senior Division Kumite. I think that sport karate and traditional karate is an oxymoron.

Not for long…is the way of life for head coaches, assistants, and those from the front office. More life for the players.

Thank you, @aurik for this testing cycle post; I always enjoy reading them, and you was no exception. First of all, congrats to ever testing cycle candidates on doing an outstanding job and passing with flying colors. Especially on your earning Sandan, which to me is an epic accomplishment, imho because other possibilities might start to come your way. In reading your your post and viewing your photos, of which I greatly respect, appreciate, and thank you. I couldn’t help but mull over some of my own personal experiences in my yesteryears of testing cycles that I participated in with all of the trails and tribulations that can occur from time to time. I admire your dedication for these past 8 years, and your future seems very promising, inspiring, and bright. Your dojo family is very important to you, this shows. Please don’t ever take it for granted like I did, and I know you won’t. I’m extremely proud of you, your son, and your dojo family. All of you have much to be proud of!!

Congrats @Drew; well deserved!!

Sheech is right!! Raiders regular single game tickets in the nose bleed section start at $462…to see a Raiders game…at home!?! Never!! Depending on my health, I’ll try to see the Raiders VS 49ers pre-season game for my wife, where tickets start at $102 each.

That’s what happens whenever established rules and regulations aren’t followed to the letter.

I’m sure glad I was wrong about my game 7 attitude!! Knights dominated game 6 over the Ducks. Colorado won’t be a walk in the park, more like a walk in a minefield. P.S.: The Golden Knights have an overall record of 18-16-4 against the Avalanche. The Knights and Avalanche have met once in the playoffs, in the 2021 Conference Semi-Finals which the Vegas Golden Knights won in 6 games (best of 7). I’m sure that the Avalanche are seeking revenge of that fact. GO KNIGHTS!!

I’m trying to…as hard as I can. Being honest, I’m quite overwhelmed with depression.

Stone out is not good but it takes a team and not one player to win. I expected a game 7 between Knights and Ducks because that’s where the money is. GO KNIGHTS!!

I too love Seinfeld and I watch it all of the time.

Nope. “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim”
