How long have you been a LEO now, Brian??

In honor of all of the men and women who have served and continue to serve. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Happy Veterans Day!!

Countdown: Paul vs Tyson is a 3-episode documentary on Netflix. I still pick Tyson to win over Paul...just as long as Tyson doesn't get cocky. I'll get the wings and diet soda to enjoy during the fight. Last time I did that, many, many years ago, Tyson knocked out his opponent in the 1st round: I lost money...$50 for the PPV and $25 for the food and drinks. 1st round knockout?? That was then, this is now, but my monies on Tyson.

Sure!! I think it would be a hoot to have us three on the floor at the same time. I don't know just how much I will be of use due to my limited mobility. BUT I'll try my very best to be worthy of you both!!

I can see the Chiefs' Redwood Forest and Legion of Doom doing what NO NFL team has ever accomplished during the Super Bowl age...THREE-PEAT!!

As least I saw the Yankees return to the WS after a 15-year drought before I shed my mortal coil. I was beginning to think that the Yankees weren't ever going to return to the WS. I was great to see the Dodgers VS Yankees once again battling it out during a WS; brought back a lot of fond memories when they faced each other in the 1981 WS...when I was a big Dodgers fan. I could say a lot about how the Yankees did not perform during the 2024 WS, but I promised myself that I'd NOT do that. Why? It would serve no purpose whatsoever!! The Dodgers were the best team, by far. The Dodgers earned this WS and my respect.

You know what?? That method escaped me totally. Makes a ton of sense. Thanks for pointing that out, Brian.

Let's do it next summer!! What do you think??

Same with me. My roundhouse kicks always have my supporting foot 180 degrees away from target. Brian noticed when we worked out together years ago, my attacking foot is always pre-loaded, I believe is how he described it.

I can either laugh or cry at some of the NFL teams as far as how they seem to be self-destructing themselves week after week. I choice to just laugh. My Cowboys have a 22% chance of making it to the playoffs. The Seahawks, a team that one of my friend's cheers on, have a 21% chance of making it to the playoffs. The Raiders, a team that my wife cheers on, only have a 1% chance of making it to the playoffs. Read recently that these 5 NFL Head Coaches might get the axe... >>Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce. His last game might be November 29th at Kansas City Chiefs. >>Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. His last game might be January 5th vs. Washington Commanders. >>New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Hjs last game might be January 5th at Philadelphia Eagles. >>Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. His last game might be December 19th at Cincinnati Bengals. >>New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen. His last game might be November 17th vs. Cleveland Browns. FIRED MONDAY!! Other NFL Head Coach's that are not sitting so pretty are: Dave Canales, Carolina Panthers...Brian Callahan, Tennessee Titans...Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals...Doug Pederson, Jacksonville Jaguars. NFL Head Coach jobs are a very fragile thing...better said...Not For Long!!

Actually, not cruel, just being really honest. After all, it's the student's choice. Train or not train; I really don't care one way or another. My floor is always open whenever the student decides to train but I'll not chase them, nor will I beg them; that's just not me...I don't need any student that bad,

Do the kiai loud, but make sure that it's done correctly so as to the muscle memory will be effective in a real situation.

Congrats, KorroddyDude; well deserved!!

I appreciate what you're saying, aurik; means a lot to me. Thank you, sir!!

My first tournament was way back in 1965 as a white belt. I lost. I remember that I lost so bad that I almost quit training right on the spot. My mom made me go back to the dojo because she paid for a full year.

Well, in a real-life situation it's all about taking care of business, which means there's no time to meditate. Like Ed Parker said..."He who hesitates, meditates horizontally". Save the meditation for the dojo because there's less opportunity to get blindsided by a dojo-mate...unless you're in a Pink Panther Movie.

Featuring Mr. Miyagi?? I wonder how they'd do that?? Hopefully not like it was done for Game of Death with inserting various pictures or scenes of Bruce Lee; that way was so, well, cheap.

Up, out, back, down. No matter what kick, this is the method of which I've always executed said kick at said target. Why? Because of penetration, set-ups, protection, and effectiveness. No up, out, down because without the 'back' part of any said kick, said kick is sloppy and vulnerable.

Congratulations to the Dodgers for winning the 2024 World Series!!

As game 5 of the 2024 World Series at Yankee Stadium nears even closer and closer, something came to my mind when I read that Gerrit Cole is the starting pitcher for the Yankees. Cole had an outstanding game 1 by going six innings and giving up just one run on four hits. He threw 88 pitches and had 4 strikeouts in a big outing for the Yankees. Unfortunately, the Dodgers scored a run in the 8th inning to tie it, and then Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam to get the 6-3 win for the Dodgers. Cole, of course, has the potential of putting on a pitching clinic. Cole has the burden of making sure that there'll be a game 5 back in LA. Not going to be an easy task for not only Cole, but for the Yankee players and coaches as well. Cole seems to strive in the win-or-go-home games; Cole understands pressure. Win-or-stay-home are what the Yankees understand to and in this regard, that's why Cole will be on the mound tonight. But, there's always a 'but', Cole's 4 other must-win games. the Yankees lost. The Dodgers seems to grind the batters to no end, and Cole has thrown fewer than 90 pitches, and Cole's hitting the mound with only 4 days of rest. Flaherty will be on the mound for the Dodgers tonight. Cole can only do what he can do. The other Yankee players have to do their job and then some. Flaherty, 1-2, 6.10 ERA Cole, 1-0, 2.82 ERA GO YANKEES!!

Those 2 days; I cherish the most!! I'd love for us to share the mat just one more time!!

I echo the sentiments of KarateKen and Wastelander.

You will, my friend!! The MA, for me, especially when it comes to Shindokan, have never been a hobby or a sport; I take my training very serious. It's my life; if I'm not training, I'm teaching and if I'm not teaching, I'm training. Will there be 70 years in the MA for me?? That's up to God!! If he grants me that, that means I'll be 77 years old. Sometimes that saddens me because my time on this earth is reaching an end, yes, I know we all die, but it still saddens me.

I'm digging the Matlock too. Kathy Bates is a great actress; I love everything that she's ever done.

I see that. So, it takes having the Yankees' backs against the wall and facing losing the WS. Not enough. My Yankees STILL have to face the 2024 Dodgers and win EVERY game. Tough mission...near impossible mission. I'm not saying that my Yankees don't have the talent to face mission impossible, because the Yankees have the talent just not the hot bats...I'm not letting last night's hot bats of the Yankees relax my gut feelings. On last thing...every single time that Freeman is up to bat...WALK HIM INTENTIONALLY!! Freeman might be just lucky but there's no reason to push our luck against his burning hot bat. GO YANKEES!!
