Chuck Norris passed away at 86!! His family posted this on Instagram Friday morning, March 20, 2026… "It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace." While in Hawaii, Norris was hospitalized after suffering a “medical emergency “. To his family and friends, I want to express my most heartfelt condolences for his passing. RIP!!

I hope you DO get to write about KF and how it’s impacted your life; I look forward to reading it.

Congrats @Zaine; well deserved!!

You’ve every right to be proud of Kenneth throughout this season. He had some ups and downs but Kenneth has matured in every way both on and off the mat!! This last tournament was one rough son-of-a-gun against bigger players and such. Kenneth seems to be at home on the mat across the board. Go for the freestyle/Greco tournament…heck yeah!! Maybe one day we’ll see him on TV for WWE, and why not!! Great job, Kenneth!!

I passed out the Century MA catalog, every single type, like candy to everyone, even non-students; I had a wholesale account for as long as I can remember!!

I definitely remember that!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I respect that wholeheartedly.

How is your Testing Cycle panels formed for your Senior ranks?!? In Shindokan, we test up to, and including, Hachidan.

. 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.

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!!

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!!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Norris!!

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.

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.

Tons of people that must have more money then they can shake a stick at because I see sold-out stadiums everywhere. Nothing will ever change in my lifetime so I will continue to watch the NFL on my tv. Oh well!!

Yeah, not good. Knights have lost 3 games straight. Not good at all. My thing is that I don’t get my dandruff up until the all-star break, except for the NFL because the NFL doesn’t have an all-star break.

Thanks, Brian; I hope exactly like you and others!!

Doctor said that it could be due to a lack of calcium over a person’s lifetime. She didn’t want to say much more until all test results are in. I’ve drank an oceans worth of milk my entire life!!

I believe I already answered that.
