That's a little freaky.

One of my sempais once would not teach me something because if I did it incorrectly against an attacker I could harm myself seriously as well as them. I understood the reasoning behind it, but by the time I am at his level I would like to know it.

Move to Canada, we'll have you!

Our sensei said to build up tough skin on the shins kick a suspended sand bag lightly 500 times with each leg every day. I know it's old school, but perhaps it would work for the hands as well?

Oh gimme a break. Yes, those politicians are just the devil! Well, who voted them in? Because no one ever seems to confess to that! If you really don't like it stop complaining and do something.

I do not know much, but I understood it that he did leave Kancho Matsui as his sucessor and that other shihans were displeased with his choice and a lot of them formed splinter groups.

One of the things I pride myself in outside the dojo is knowing when I am ready to do things, so I do not ever take a test knowing that I do not know all the things that are required of me.

When my mom was doing karate in Scotland there were a lot of guys who thought she was very weird for wanting to do karate and couldn't understand why she was there. Her sensei was a pretty cool guy though, it was just some of the blackbelts who were stumped.

Freaky stuff.

Pearl Harbour? Seems an odd day to pick to remember veterans.

People at the dojo took a lot of pictures while we were testing, maybe see if anyone else has a good picture of him from a while back.

I dreamt last night my whole family hated me. Very odd. And that we were trying to cross a river in a truck. There was no road, we were just trying to get through the river itself. On the other side of the river there were trucks lined up against the bank. Very strange.

Bettas are becoming popular in restuarants, as a decoration. I read an article in the Globe and Mail about them. I saw a pure yellow betta the other day, he was very cool.

Evanescence is a blip on the music radar.

Mine is too short right now, the ends stick right out to the sides.

Bishops and nuns staying together in the same building? Questionable...

I know a joke that makes fun of the french and people from the maritimes of canada. It may be my best joke ever.

That'd be damn funny, I would go to that class for fun!

That killed me. The Slow-Children Playing always gets me on residential streets. I speed up just to spite them. No, that's a lie...

Definatly my favorite.

A horse drawn car.

What the heck?

Double gedan barai, gyaku geri.

It all depends on the instructor. I started off with mine and was thinking, 'wow, this is hard, but I'm not in good shape so it can't be that hard for everyone else.' Then I hear we train fairly hard compared to other dojos. We had a visiting shihan once and he trained us much harder than usual. It was just brutal and at the same time glorious.

Weird website. I click on a picture and it showed bathroom recontruction, that is EXTREME!!!!!
