Black Belt (10/10)

  1. I definitely remember that!!
  2. Aren’t the Raiders just a hoot?!? Can’t decide if I admire Raiders trying to improve them as a whole or not!! Let’s see what happens next season.
  3. We’re all students of the MA; that will never change because humans don’t know everything and we’re not perfect whatsoever. Even whenever I was teaching at my own dojo forever and a day, I was still training with my Sensei up to the day he passed away. Instructors can choose whomever they want to teach, and at the same time, the instructor can choose to not teach at all, even if they’re allowed to do so.
  4. Of course the NFL wants their revenue to grow because after all, the NFL is a business, and a business wants to make money; that’s why any business is around…to make money. 18 regular season games, and the NFL is wanting to push for a 20 game season?!? Money over the wellbeing of the players. Once again, practicality no longer exists whenever money is involved.
  5. Who you going to get? I’ve no idea who to get to replace Dak but there has to be some QB somewhere that can be better than the choke artist Dak.
  6. Imho, Vegas excuse for gouging tickets is because Vegas is the entertainment capital of the USA. Hogwash!! Saw on the news her in Vegas not too long ago that Ticketmaster had a major glitch of some type that highly affected the Metallica ticket prices; tickets were in the thousands of dollars. Don’t get me wrong, tickets in Vegas are very steep. Tickets to the Sphere are ridiculously high anyway; according to the Sphere, it loses millions of dollars a year.
  7. I greatly admire your dedication to your health for all of these years. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your journey of maintaining your health.
  8. I respect that wholeheartedly.
  9. How is your Testing Cycle panels formed for your Senior ranks?!? In Shindokan, we test up to, and including, Hachidan.
  10. . You’re not implying that Sanchin IS the property of Uechi-Ryu alone?!? Imho, no matter the Kata, all Kata are for every practitioner of the MA. I’m not strictly a Shindokan practitioner that only trains in Shindokan Kata because other Kata from other styles do offer a model of effectiveness that I can’t deny.
  11. YAHOO!! Congrats to Kenneth for making it to state tournament; he’ll do great!! Sounds to me Kenneth has his head screwed on right now because he believes that he can fix that issue. That’s the mind of a great fighter!! Hang in there and please convey my deepest support to Kenneth; he’ll do whatever he needs to do. He’ll do great!!
  12. Here’s a statement from the Raiders… “The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time.” Ouch!! **Update just in: Ravens backed out of Maxx Crosby trade due to medical concerns from his physical!! Double Ouch!!
  13. Happy Birthday, Mr. Norris!!
  14. No bunkai until Shodan is so alien to me. But what’s even more alien to me is that bunkai without resistance. If your dojo includes live sparring with unpredictable attacks, pressure tested applications of kata , and training against resistant opponents at close range, then your doing karate as it was meant to be!! Effectiveness requires testing!! Imho.
  15. Raiders also finally got rid of Geno Smith. Now, if my Cowboys would follow suit by getting rid of Dak Prescott, my life would be sweeter. In addition, why are the Raiders building their payroll from the Seahawks?!? Surely they can shop around somewhere else.
