Us humans are our worse enemy. Our great advances in technology will be our downfall fall!! Our lives are not a movie!! Las Vegas has an army of taxi’s that have no drivers mainly near the proximity of key venues like the Vegas Strip, Allegiant Stadium, Convention Center, and the airport. Blows my mind when I first saw and read about them. There’s no way I’d ever ride in one…not me. I’ve seen with my own eyes Pizza Hut driverless cars delivering pizza. AI is just that to me, ARTIFICIAL, but the reality of it all is not from any movie. My wife loves the tv series, After Humans, that’s no longer funny to me. Us humans are our worse enemy!! Imho.

Good news… The Raiders can’t lose today!! They’re on a Bye-week. Bad news… The Cowboys can lose today!! Their not on a Bye-week.

Rome wasn’t built in one day. High kicks, and what’s required to achieve it won’t be built in one day either. Shindokan kicks are no higher than the stomach. For that reason, I took TKD lessons as a JBB for 1 year. GM Young Ik Suh emphasized proper stretching over everything else…slow and NO BOUNCING. He also emphasized in strengthening core and legs because what good is a high kick if there’s no effectiveness behind it?!?! At home, a chair…a ladder…a pulley rope…stretching chair…were my best friends. No one at home would help me stretch whatsoever. Dynamic and static exercises are key, but only with knee raises with the knee being held. While getting your kicks higher, one’s techniques must be correct. Pivoting support foot…making sure your hips are forward at its right moment. Like stretching needs to be slow, move slowly during practice…control the kicks; that will build muscles and your kicking range will not be hindered. Warm up first. Going regular whatever cold will open the door of injuries. Be consistent in your training, otherwise progress will be slower. Pivot, bring hips forward, and use your whole body. Knee raises/holds, slow mo kicks, hip exercises to increase mobility, leg swings, and for grins, hold the kicks out there at the full extension of the kick, like Bruce Lee did in Enter The Dragon when O’Hara barked orders at Lee while Lee was training in his bedroom.

Lower belt students, like Orange and green belts, will keep us Dan ranks honest and more aware. What’s your plans if your left knee continues to bother you?? If your left knee threatens to force you to primarily administer your right leg, you can be like Bill “Superfoot” Wallace by kicking only with the good leg…nothing wrong with that because kicking with one leg primarily did Wallace quite well.

The 2025 WS is now set: Dodgers VS Blue Jays Before I was a Yankee fan, I was a Dodgers fan!! GO DODGERS!!

Yes, the Jets are pretty bad. But I live in Las Vegas and my wife loves the Raiders, therefore, the Raiders by association are the worse. GO COWBOYS!! (Hosting Cowboys defeated the Commanders by the score 44-22 on October 19, 2025)

If nothing works…buy a new gi and wash it often.

Well…Well…Well… When you’re bad, you might as well be the best at it. Chief 31… Raiders 0 Chief 4-3… Raiders 2-5 *Smith: 10/16 Completions/Attempts, 67 Yards, 0 TD *Jeanty: 8 Carries, 21 Rushing yards, 1 Receive for 13 yards *Mahomes: 26/35 Completions for/Attemppts, 286 yards, 3 TD, 4 Rushes for 28 yards *Rice: 7 Receive for 42 yards, 2 TD *Possession: Raiders 17:52 and Chiefs 42:08 *Passing: Raiders 70 yards and Chiefs 282 yards *Rushing: Raiders 25 yards and Chiefs 152 yards All in all, Chiefs showed up while the Raiders wished that they had shown up…but they didn’t…once again. Whose head(s) will roll for the Raiders at the end of this season?!? Overpriced Stadium with an over paid Raiders staff/roster with under achieved as a whole!! Imho!! GO COWBOYS!!

Still, congrats, Brian!! Good luck on your upcoming testing cycle.

If the Chiefs of recent years show up, the Raiders don’t stand a chance no matter who their recently hired/signed-up GM, coach, and players are, imho. Chiefs got this!! GO COWBOYS!!

Speaking about the Knights… Knights earn 1st home win of the season against the Bruins by final score of 6-5. Speaking about another Las Vegas team… The Las Vegas Aces have won their 3rd WNBA Final Championship in 4 years by sweeping the Phoenix Mercury. Aces Parade in downtown Las Vegas starts today at 5pm. GO KNIGHTS!!

Great question, Ken!! Must be nice to earn all of that money for doing nothing for it.

Ashton Jeanty signed a 4 year, $35,895,812 contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, including $22,746,044 signing bonus, $35,895,812 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $8,973,953. In 2025, Jeanty will earn a base salary of $840,000, a signing bonus of $22,746,044 and a workout bonus of $3,220, while carrying a cap hit of $6,529,731 and a dead cap value of $35,899,032. As of week 4: Rushing yards 282 Rushing average 4.1 Rushing touchdowns 2 Receptions 7 Receiving yards 20 Receiving touchdowns 2 Jeanty’s productivity seems to not match what he’s being paid by the Raiders. Perhaps Mark Davis is richer than I give him credit for. GO COWBOYS!!

Anything can happen, especially in MLB. Dodgers at home are no joke. Dodgers will beat the Brewers!!

Pace is important; as in everything, it has its place. Moreover, all of the other elements must be considered, especially said the technique being executed. That’s why kata isn’t a dance; it’s elements can be quite effective. That’s why we drill the tar out of the three K’s; they open other avenues of maturing one’s techniques.

2-4 Raiders 20 and 1-5 Titans 20 2-3-1 Cowboys 27 and 3-5 Panthers 30 FINALLY… My wife’s Raiders won a game…and at home. No big reason to celebrate because look at who the Raiders faced…the Titans. Let’s see how the Raiders do against the hosting Chiefs next week. My Cowboys almost won…the Cowboys almost got the monkey off their back…the Cowboys almost made sense. The Cowboys are full of “ALMOST” this and ALMOST that. Let’s see if my Cowboys can ALMOST beat the hosting Commanders next week.

They both should be to the wire!! My WS prediction: Blue Jays VS Dodgers….Dodgers win in 6

Can the Panthers do a 3-Peat?!?

This afternoon I watched the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Those were the good old monster movies.

Pace of any form are flexible to somewhat of a degree. Look at WKF and the like tournaments, the given pace has given pauses throughout. Normally, said pauses don’t last as long as we see in the WKF and the like, and I believe that the competitors longer than normal pauses are more for the dramatic effect.

No!! She’s a diehard Raiders fan through and through!! She’s ready to have Carroll’s head in a platter!! Watch her Raiders win when they host my Cowboys next month.

Here I sit watching the Raiders VS Colts with my wife. Games in the 2nd quarter at the 2 minute warning with the score Raiders 3 and Colts 14. Colts defense is doing their job unlike the Raiders and the Colts offense is doing their job unlike the Raiders. Raiders punter was roughed by the Colts but no flag…Colts place kicker roughed by the Raiders but they go a flag. Raiders get one of the best head coaches in Carroll, a RB in Jentry, a new GM, and whatever else and the Raiders are not any better so far than last year when they ended 4-13!! My wife says she’ll be happy if her Raiders end up one game better, 5-12, than last year. I tried my best to stifle my laughter the best I could at my wife’s prediction. Ouch!!! With :20 seconds remaining in the 2nd quarter, Colts score another TD…Colts 20 and Raiders 3. Raiders new plan…never find the end zone…just field goals. My Cowboys VS Jets with :57 seconds in the 2nd quarter with the score Cowboys 17 and Jets 3. PS: Raiders just missed their 57 yard field goal with :02 seconds left…so much for my Raiders field goal prediction!!

It’ll be a very interesting NHL season!!
