A. Orstrom Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Ehm.. What is a potluck? Sorry if I am asking a stupid question, but I am not familiar with that expression. The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence,but in the mastery of his passions.Alfred, Lord Tennyson
cathal Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 This tradition to keep black belts on for 24 hours is pretty common. Anyone else? .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu

isshinryu5toforever Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 yeah, we do potlucks every year too, I can't believe I forgot about that. He who knows others is wise.

cathal Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Tradition seems lacking in my dojo as well. But to each his own, I guess. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
mindsedgeblade Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 My school has a fall and spring picnic. Everybody plays football or soccer or whatever, and our master usually runs the grill. Since we're at college, there's always a demonstration at the beginning of the semester. Lol- not too many of the people that go to the demo actually stay around though. Colored belt promotions are done when everyone is lined up a the end of class. Go to the front, bow to each BB, recieve the belt and certificate, and shake the master's hand. The best a man can hope foris, over the course of his lifetime,to change for the better.

Ahh, I've been to a couple of those Thanks a lot. Oh, and when we graduate in my Aikido dojo we usually go out for beers with the sempai and sensei.
