TheGrim123321 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 I don't think that I can top Shizentai's story...a classic and unforgettable story...one that's got me laughing tell I want to puke...LOVED IT...That awkward moment when I walk into the dojo late to find that everyone else is already meditating quietly in seiza... then as I try to quietly slip into the dressing room I catch my bag on a metal stretching machine, that as it is falling knocks over a weight rack, sending free-weights rolling loudly across the floor and one onto my foot, which results in my hopping around with my hand over my mouth like a cartoon. When I looked up every single person was staring at me. That was my first day at headquarters. I was called "the entertainment" for a while after that, as in: "Hey look guys, the entertainment has arrived!"What I did was more dumb, than awkward, however, in the aftermath of it, I felt quite awkward for having done something so, well, stupid...http://www.karateforums.com/the-day-i-knocked-myself-out-vt36200.html?highlight=head+roofAfter 50 years, I've had my share of awkward and aha and stupid and then some moments. Some I vividly remember, and others, well, I'd rather forget them. That is absolutely HILARIOUS!!! It seems so ENTER THE DOJO !!! ROFL...I wish that it was an episode from Master Ken...but...it's not!! My nick name at my dojo is Master Ken, because the main thing I target is the groin.

This is such a fun thread, I'm really enjoying reading everyone's stories! "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro
Kanku65 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Sensei and I were sparring before class. He went for a spinning reverse roundhouse. He rose out of his stance and I sunk deeper into mine, before he could complete the kick I shifted in and punched him (accidentally) right in the behind. We both stepped back with the most serious of expressions on our faces and continued to spar for about 10 more seconds until he just burst into laughter. To search for the old is to understand the new.The old, the new, this is a matter of time.In all things man must have a clear mind. The Way: Who will pass it on straight and well?- Master Funakoshi
